I adore your samplers, tres chic! Still wearing masks indoors here and I will continue to do so until the end of the pandemic (they say it might be next Spring when we can move on but I'm not optimistic, given Scotland's rising numbers). I took the Granddaughters shopping at the weekend and it still amazes me how second nature it is to them to wear their masks in the shops. They even remind me before we leave the house to check if I have my mask in my handbag! Have a great week, Julie.xBetween Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-58168591873893300822021-09-24T23:12:20.410+12:002021-09-24T23:12:20.410+12:00Your cross stitch is gorgeous!

A nice arrangement. I am baffled that they called that colour "running postman"! Beautiful gifts for the new born. I so love to crochet baby clothes nearly my most favourite makes ;they are so dinky LOL! Dear me! Those cakes look super delicious. I was asked to crochet some masks but I refused. Other than a pretty boring make as you so rightly comment I just don't see that a crocheted mask is very practical or hygienic.

That's amazing regarding the house being built - so quick! And I am sorry to read your Covid is bad again - I had thought they had it more under control by now. Such a shame & the way of the world it seems at the moment. Have a great weekend both of you.

But that's OK as I am a<br />blue color person. But the pinkish frame does look outstanding with the red thread. I had done lots of samplers or just<br />embroidery pictures from printed cloths that my grandmother had and left undone. They had price stickers on them for<br />original new price of 10 cents from WW II. But in the move 15 years ago, I sold them at yard sale. All went quickly.<br />And onto chocolate, now that is my favorite flavor! Hope the seeds all take and grow well for Syd. Here the news is<br />the 2 acres of trees were all mowed down last week in 4 1/2 days. This week they dug the basement hole in 2, and poured<br />the foundation concrete on Weds. Thursday they dropped off the building block. So the house will be up and finished<br />by end of November, our Thanksgiving time. Our covid is bad bad bad. We now have numbers worse than anytime in the<br />past 18 months, just in my rural county. Hope your lock down ends soon and well.

You are so thoughtful!<br />The Citrus Slice has my mouth watering. Sounds so yummy!<br />Oh, I am getting more requests for masks now, even though they are not required here--just recommended in some situations. I am tempted to make myself a few new ones--I am more fussy about matching my clothes now if I have to wear a mask. Silly me. But when I was making them in large numbers I had to use fun fabrics or it drove me crazy. I get what you are saying. And it did seem like men especially just wanted black.<br />I'll be rooting for those seeds to sprout, too. That was kind of a bad pun. ;)Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-75990001910837001462021-09-17T13:47:34.494+12:002021-09-17T13:47:34.494+12:00Love your sampler.

Still have many that we never wore (seems like we grabbed the same ones every time) and lots of filters as well. We should be good.
