I'd probably increase the size for my first attempt, then try the micro size if I thought I could do it.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-36590563560855717402013-11-20T19:22:44.271-05:002013-11-20T19:22:44.271-05:00Follow your dreams!

I think everyone needs to dream and set goals (even if it is swiping someone's jello, LOL)!<br /><br />P.S. I love, love, love artisan bears. And than little panda pattern is adorable.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-61785870803559315252013-11-20T07:44:56.986-05:002013-11-20T07:44:56.986-05:00Thank you for following me and for commenting from...Thank you for following me and for commenting from time to time! <br /><br />You will be able to put things in perspective, Bella, about your caregiving days. I doubt I would have been able to look at my 7 years of journals last year, when things were still so fresh, and see them in a different light than when they were written. I can separate from the emotion and see the nuts and bolts of the Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-53382350655196654822013-11-20T05:23:18.774-05:002013-11-20T05:23:18.774-05:00I went through a range of emotions when I recently...I went through a range of emotions when I recently read some things I wrote when I was living with my father. Like you, sometimes I was proud and sometimes ashamed. As time passes, I think I'll put things in perspective.<br /><br />Your bear project or the prospect of a bear project sounds like a lot of fun. Doing something creative is so satisfying. Good luck on your book.<br /><br />I enjoyBella Rumhttp://culdesacchronicles.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-4325839819198984472013-11-19T15:55:54.453-05:002013-11-19T15:55:54.453-05:00I like cross-stitch, too, but I been working on th...I like cross-stitch, too, but I been working on the same piece for over 40 years. It's one that I only work on when I have to hang around hospitals for any length of time and thus I hope I never finish it. LOL It's funny the little rituals we pick up through our lives. I like handcrafts better than traveling and I've never been on a cruise.

For some people, it is the vacation or cruise. For some olders, it is just something simple to keep our hands busy. For me, with no extra money, it is finding a stamped cross stitch baby quilt kit for $2.99 at the Salvation Army that I can stitch--for a non-existent great grandchild. I gotta have something!!!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.com
