Athens Dixie Stitchers

Good afternoon my peeps! Oh my goodness...it all started by watching Clutterbug on YouTube. I have been cleaning out closets and pantries. Making better use of where things go. I found a really nice food processor in the garage that I would like to use. So...it is now in the baking pantry. In case you are wondering my whole house was literally moved out into the garage almost five years ago. So, I would just bring in things as I found them. Well, after being back in the house and getting into my routine some spaces have changed. So...if I don't like it now...it's gone. I love old glassware and pretty dishes. But, I use my storage bowls more than pretty dishes. And I want things to where I can reach them without a ladder. So...I have been doing a lot of decluttering and rearranging. I did have to cross stitch a short while to settle my nerves! Maybe this will inspire someone else.

Happy stitching!

Good afternoon my peeps! Oh my word. I got to watching cleaning videos yesterday while I cross stitched a little bit. Decided I would clean out my utility room closet. It looks like a tornado has come through part of my house! They say," You can do this in a few minutes. " Ha ... two days later I am still going through stuff. I did find 2 window cleaner pads that go on extension poles for the outside windows and my O Cedar attachment for the mop! I bought a different kind of mop. But tickled I found this one.

I am getting a new kitten next week so I have been kitty proofing things too. Her name is Marlee Louise. Every good southern cat needs a middle name. Hadn't planned on adding to the family. I just instantly loved her the minute I saw her. Hope the introduction goes smoothly with my other cats.

I will share our Show and Tell pictures with you.

Happy stitching!

Good afternoon my peeps! We will be having a party Thursday. We will have a short program with our party. Also, it is time to renew our dues. They are still just $25.

Today is a bittersweet day for me. Today is my 49th Anniversary and my 5th one without Malcolm. I sure do miss him and especially today. I have also been out of high school 48 years today. We married when I was 16 and he was 21. I graduated from high school on my first wedding anniversary! Nobody ever thought we would make it. But...we tricked them.

Hope to see y'all Thursday! You know quilters are good cooks. Lol...

Good morning my peeps. Just wanted to let y'all know that Julie's mom and Rachael's grandmother has passed away. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

I would appreciate a prayer for me as well. I think I have the flu!
Low grade fever, coughing, headache, and body aches unreal.

Thanks
