Happy Thursday Morning to all!!
Sharing again from Sweatpants and Coffee. It showed up on my Facebook Memories yesterday. I figured it was a sign and I needed to share it again!
LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color hosts this fun place to talk about some of our likes, things we are thankful for, and feelings of gratitude. This month she has provided some prompts to get our brains and hearts working. :)
This week she suggests crafting supplies that aren't quilting based.
I happened on Fat Quarter Shops Cross Stitch patterns this year. I have purchased one piece of fabric and a selection of floss colors to go with the project. I used to do lots of Counted Cross Stitch. Then a friend introduced me to a Quilt Shop and a class!
I have tons of floss, needles, hoops and all the stuff needed.
I don't paint, or draw, or make cards or scrapbooks. I do like bullet journaling, but I'm bad at it. I have pens, stickers, stencils, washi tape, rulers etc. I'm not much good at "just wingin' it". I need structure.
ie directions!
Other LIKES for the week:

| Spinach Chicken Casserole with Mozzarella! |
It was a hit. See, Joyful, I'm using my last year's pink YUM table mat!! It just fits my Pyrex baking pan.
We are watching The Offer on Paramount+. It’s billed as a drama miniseries. Miles Teller plays the part of Al Ruddy the Canadian-American producer of The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby. Both Academy Award winners for him.
We watch it at the same time as our son in California. We place a phone call and put the speaker on. He and our daughter are very good at syncing the shows, so we can have dialogue about it, just like he was here! Lots of fun!
I’m also reading Sister Stardust by Jane Green. So far I like it!
I finished Faithful by Alice Hoffman. It did not disappoint. After a slow sad emotional start there was a great story.

Speaking of slow starts…..this was Wordle on Wednesday!
Sometimes it helps to be a word nerd!
Oh my gosh = how cool to *watch* tv together!!! I love it!! Your casserole looks yummy and yay for using your table mat!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Boo Crew cross-stitch, such a fun design! Our "family" show that we all watch right now is "Rings of Power" on Prime. We don't watch together like you described, but all watch it and then discuss on Sunday when we're on Facetime with our kids. That chicken casserole looks yummy - can you share the recipe?
ReplyDeletealso love FQS patterns... love that you watch tv with your son.... nice connection. That meal looks so good
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Thanks for sharing that wonderful meme about gratitude. It is quite fitting for our Thursday posts and has a nice message. The is so cool that you can watch The Offer with your son!! I love that - it's the next best thing to being there. I had to laugh when I saw your Wordle picture. I always start with Raise and then usually try Pound. I think all the reading exposes you to a wide selection of words, don't you? {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that you can watch tv together with your family! It sounds like a lot of fun! Your chicken dish looks YUMMY! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe casserole looks delicious. I Googled a recipe so I could try it on my family. I think it looks like a winner. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that casserole - yum! You are lucky to be able to "watch" a show with your son - that sounds like fun. I like to do those things your mentioned - counted cross stitch, bullet journals, etc. - but like you, I prefer structure. I love seeing other folks' Wordles! Like Roseanne I start with a certain word then go from there. It's something I like to do after I've gotten all my morning "chores" done. :D
