And no, I'm not upset! I've been having fun with cross stitches and have completed the base for the latest house ornament. This one is the book shop and next 'up' will be to add the topstitching to bring it to life.

Today's quote..."Time passes so quickly. You literally do not even notice it until it begins to show. So, don't wait to use the good china, go on the trip, eat the cake, watch the late movie, read your favourite book, and take a chance in life...the time is now. Live passionately while there is still time. Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one.
Yes to the quotation. And remember to enjoy now. That's already a lot, for most of us!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the now is sometimes difficult but that quote serves as a good reminder.
DeleteLove the cross stitch. I have come to the conclusion that I like needlepoint more. Cross stitch takes so much time. That said, I will endeavour to complete the kits that I bought while in England.
DeleteNeedlepoint is definitely faster to do. It's been years since I did any so perhaps I might have to look into picking it up again. Hmmm.....although.....that might mean a whole 'nother acquisition of stash I don't need!!
DeleteThanks for more awesome links to artists and methods!! that quotation is so true--hugs, Juierose
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Glad you enjoy the links.
DeleteGreat quote. Love the bookshop cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
Our oldest grandie is a reader now so thought this ornament would be perfect for him.
DeleteBeautiful cross stitching Mary Anne and I love your quote! It's so true especially as one gets older. The time seems to pass even more quickly! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you enjoyed the quote because I know it struck a chord with me.
DeleteThank you! Those dying techniques are just what I need for a tunic project.
ReplyDeleteYay - now I'm looking forward to seeing what you do!
DeleteI'm so thankful Greg and I lived our life as your quote mentions. We went ahead & spent some money on traveling and doing things together. I had decided if the government decided to bankrupt my retirement they could just lay me on the roadside when my health turns bad. I saw my parents save money and sit home for naught.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. So many of us try to save for a rainy day and then end up like your parents (and mine). Many think they need to leave their money to their kids when in truth most kids would rather see their parents enjoy their lives.
