SBQ's......

I have two SBQ's to get caught up on today so here goes....
Today's SBQ was suggested by Danielle
and is:

#1 Have you ever been to a stitching retreat?
Quite simply no....but I have always dreamed of going whenever I see a flyer at my LNS I take it home and seriously consider it. One of these days I will go. They do have stitching days at a mountain lodge near me yearly.....but I maybe dreaming that....
And.........
#2 Do you dream of running your own LNS/ONS? If so, tell us about your dream. If not, tell us about your cross stitch dream… maybe you dream of designing, dyeing your own floss or fabric, etc

This has always been my dream since as far back as I can remember......maybe high school. I always thought it would be perfect! That's the idealistic me speaking but realistically it's such hard work. One of my friends had a LNS (that's how we met and became friends) and I saw the amazing amount of work to make a successful business work! Idealistically I would still love to but realistically I'm not so sure anymore. Oh my sister and I talked of combining passions into one store a cross stitch shop in front and flower shop in back.....now how's that for idealistic!!!! She was very serious....As far as designing.....I don't have a artistic bone in me so as much as I'd love to I leave that to the professionals! I shake when I even consider color conversions so that's also a no go as well.....

That's it for now.....two posts in one day amazing!

I'm grateful for dreams and big cups of earl grey tea..........

I am still beyond tired! But I wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year !!!!! And may all your dreams, wishes and most of all hopes be fulfilled in the new year. I especially believe in Hope.....since without it we truly have nothing. I learned that a long time ago. Hope gives us someting to hold onto and we must never take ones hope away! And one last one for all of the stitchers out there may we have all the time we want and need and then some to stitch to our heart's content and all the stash of course to stitch!!!!
