Sweet Stitchy Days

Celebrate Yourself

I started my period earlier today, and no way am I gonna go through bleedapalooza without some beautiful items to keep me company. These shockingly gorgeous roses will definitely lift my spirits on the, um, heavier days. I hadn’t planned on unwrapping the chin-chin plates, thinking I’d save them for after I move into a better home, but I am so glad that I did. They’re too pretty to not enjoy NOW!

The gentleman who rang up my chin-chin plates at El Corte Inglés last week was SUCH a gem. He was so friendly, upbeat, and KIND, and he packaged my purchase with such care. Seriously, he was one of the kindest human beings I’ve encountered in a long time, and the experience left me buzzing with more hopeful energy. That I could be more like him! That all humans could be more like him! I wish him and his loved ones nothing but the best! The fact that the plates were a 2-for-1 deal was the cherry on top.

I also had some fun today trying to decide what colors to use for a new cross-stitch project. I think this combination of Nina’s Threads (Fuchsia, Old Jeans, Pine, and Teal) is definitely giving Pisces energy, no? Now I just need to dive into my vast collection of (free) patterns and choose what to stitch with these beautiful flosses...

Wishing you a great day filled with beautiful things and lovely energy!
