Happy friYAY! How the heck is it almost the end of April? This has been a curious week and I don’t put anything past these wacky times. I am truly trying to embrace what life throws at me and laugh at what I can’t control.
Here are some of my favorites from this week:
1. In an effort to keep my mind busy, I did some digging and found an old counted cross stitch project that I never finished. I’ve probably had this for a good 10 years now and its about 5% completed. It took a bit of learning and reading but I’ve jump back into it and it has been something I have been making time for especially before bed. I laughed when I took a look at it because it say, “Easy to Do for Beginners”. This will be 8×10 when finished. Prayers that it doesn’t take me another 10 years to finish! HA!

I usually have an embroidery hoop while I’m working to keep it tight

2. In the hunt for my Amazon Fire Stick, I found my iPod nano(?) with the usb cord attached. I decided to charge it and to my amazement it still works. Now if I can access my iTunes account and authorize my computer that would be great. BUT! I figured out a way to listen to the music off my iPod and its been fun listening to music that I loved almost 10 years ago. My favorite lost song I found- Pom Poms by the Jonas Brothers (no shame here- its a great dance around the room song!)
3. I have been wearing my boat shoes almost every day I have been going into work. They are truly comfortable and even though I am sitting for most of the day, they are don’t restrict my feet. Our dress code has been relaxed at work and its been great trying to come up with more causal outfits. You would think it would be easier to dress more casual, for me its harder. HA! I am so happy to have these boat shoes lately. To think I wasn’t sure if I was going to wear them.
4. We have been having the weirdest weather in Jersey. It has gone from almost 70 degrees to 36 degrees; sunshine to rain to a gusando (yes that is what they are calling it, not quite a tornado but bigger than a gust of wind) to cloudy to hail and everything in between. Mother nature is really mad lately- think she has COVID-19?!
Hope you have a great weekend and stay safe!

I feel that way about our weather here in CT too! It's been all over the place. I haven't worked on counted cross stitch since I was a child. I can remember my grandmother helping my older sister and I to make a bib for my younger sibling (I honestly have no idea which one). I remember it being a lot of fun. Good luck with your project.
Thanks a bunch! I am glad to see its just not NJ with crazy weather! Stay well!
