The Best Laid Plans...............

Let me tell you my story.............first my pc screen went black last Friday and I could not get a hold of my Geek Buddy until Monday (come to find out I was given the wrong number) so I looked them up on my tablet and found it.  After an all morning session on Monday, they got it cleared up....updates from MS that didn't coincide with my security software.  I had my pc up for about 3 hours and was getting ready to blog and WHAMMO.......the internet went down and it was down until 9:00 p.m.!  I tried calling their tech support to see if it was an area wide outage.  They usually have a recorded message telling you.  When I went to call I got a message that all long distance lines were busy and to try again later.....I tried until about 8:00 p.m. and they were still busy.  So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!  Thank goodness everything is working fine now but I am behind on posting for Stitch Maynia for sure and several other FB Groups!
I took pictures and I will post them here but there are things missing so I will have to play catch up all week.
***I got this far last night until I tried downloading pictures and blogger wouldn't cooperate......are their sun spots or something?  Nothing electrical seems to be operating well.***
Here I am back again this morning trying to post....we'll see how far I get! LOL!
The prettiest loaf of bread I've ever made...........and great tasting too I might add....and easy peasy!  I use Jenny Can Cook's recipe on You Tube and her blog.

I think this is Stitch Maynia's Day #11 project....I need to go back and get 9 and 10!  I am really enjoying this and although there's not much progress in one day.....starting is sometimes the hard part...or for me personally...finishing! LOL!  We've had lots of rainy days so it's been conducive to stitching........

My floss came and I have been slowly carding it up and adding it to my Maynia projects..........

More treasures came in the mail..................a very sweet gal from Oregon sent the entire set of patterns for A Year of Celebrations by Hands On Design...this has been on my list from the get go!  At first I thought it was just January but upon opening I realized she had sent me the whole year of patterns!!  These gals are so honest too.....these are the real patterns.....no copies as that is unfair to the designer and against the copyright laws....I am very grateful....the only copies I have received have been for free patterns.  I can't wait to start on these!

Plus, she sent me this little cutie by Country Cottage Needleworks....part of her Glitter Village cottage patterns...........perfect since I am starting to 'ramp up' for Christmas gift making...but first I have all those birthdays in July!

I had ordered this for Christmas..........it's been on my list for several years and I was afraid they would discontinue it..........part of my 'wool' making..........it is from Buttermilk Basin.......love it!

That's all for today...I hope you have all been fine and if my pc cooperates and the stars are all in alignment I should be able to catch up with you all this week.  Today I am going to try and mow although there's a 50% chance of rain...I have errands to run, and of course cooking and cleaning....mercy!  The girls are doing as well as can be expected and all of us seem to be sneezing from the pollen and our eyes are all watering and blurry but other than that we are blessed!  I pray the same for all of you!
Happy Trails!!!
