The 10th of May
May 9, 2013
Currently...
Uploading... photos from my 2010 365 photo project. Okay...so I uploaded exactly one photo. One of these years I will be all caught up!
Reading... lots and lots of medical charts at work. I am on a strict deadline to finish an amazingly amount of visits (2+ years) within an extremely short period of time (less than 1 month). My entire day is spent reading and by the time I get home I don't even want to look at the computer or do anything that requires my mind to work.
Watching... Game of Thrones. The episodes are not long enough and I hate having to wait an entire week until I get to watch the next one. Netflix has spoiled me. I want to watch entire seasons all at one time!

Z is for Ziblings
Ever since I was 18 years old, I have been kind of partial to the letter Z. That is the year that I found my birth family and met my siblings...all who happen to have names that start with the letter Z. I love the letter Z!

Y is for Yesteryear
It's weird how a person can look at a photo and remember that point in time. Photos taken way before your ability to remember, like baby photos for instance. Photos linked to stories that are told to you by others. Stories that then become your own memories.
Then the day comes when someone gives you a photo of yourself that you never knew existed. A photo without a memory....that is until someone tells you the story.
"I guess Michael was right when he said you never bought him clothes.. Bet he was barefooted also! This was Easter many years ago."

X is for X-stitching
One of the first crafts that I taught myself to do was x-stitching (cross-stitching/embroidery). I remember digging through my Mom's hope chest and finding an old embroidery kit. I tried my best to figure out how to do it. I think I pretty much just made up stitches as I went along just to fill out the pattern that was printed on the fabric.
This is way before the time of the Internet, so that meant I had to search for books and magazines that could teach me what I needed to know. Thank goodness for the library and really inexpensive magazine subscriptions that a child could afford.
As with all my crafts, I have never finished a x-stitch project just for me. X-stitching was something I did to give as a gift to others.
Over the years, I have completed a few small hangings, some barrettes and some ornaments. But mostly what I loved to do was x-stitch on baby bibs and baby onesies. One of these days I will stitch again. I mean, I have to do something with all this floss that I have accumulated over the years.
