Ink Circles Namaste Chart
Astrid (astridxstitching.blogspot.ca) asked, "What will it look like when it is finished"? Here is a photo of my Ink Circles chart, I just love all the colours it reminds me of a rainbow.
Not much time to stitch this weekend. We put the first coat of primer on the new walls in the basement. Hopefully the second coat will be next weekend. We should have paint on the ceiling and walls before Christmas.

Standard First Aid Training
Two co-workers and I attended a 2 day standard first aid (adult) CPR course at St. John Ambulance location (Kitchener Ontario).
I took a similar course as a teenager when I was an army cadet, years later my husband and I learned infant CPR when our oldest son was born (20 years ago).
Today I bought a first aid kit for our home. We always have bandaids in the house, but now we have a full kit in case of an emergency (and I know how to use everything inside the kit)!

No stitching
I slept in this morning, so I had no extra time to stitch before work. I worked late, and Wednesday night we go to Costco, so again no stitching. Now it is time to go to bed. Hope to find time to stitch tomorrow night.

Christmas shopping
I did not do any stitching tonight, so I will share another shopping photo. I love this blue evenweave, I don't have a project in mind at the moment. I bought the fabric and a magazine to put in my Christmas stocking. Since i don't need The other fabric and floss that I purchased last week they will also go away until Christmas.

Frogging and re-start
When I picked up my stitching tonight I realized I started the Turquoise motif instead of the green one. Good thing I only stitched for 15 minutes yesterday, so I did have very much to frog. I re-started the green motif I will show you my progress tomorrow morning, not enough light to take good photo at night.

No stitching ... buying fabric
I am luck to have an LNS close to home. We meet every Tuesday night at Stitcher's Place (www.stitchersplace.com) for Stitcher's Club. I didn't feel like stitching this week, instead I went shopping for fabric & floss for next years projects.
I already had the pattern and light blue fabric for When I am an Old Man I Shall Wear Plaid Trousers. I found a beautiful blue hand dyed floss that I wanted to try. I always use DMC.
Then I started looking for purple fabric and found a gorgeous purple hand dyed floss to try. Since these will be companion pieces on the wall. I can't wait to stitch this project. Purple is my favourite colour!

3rd day
I'm on the 3rd day of November and I have already ran out of things to blog about because I usually only talk about my stitching.
Here is a photo of Frodo. She is a Red-eared slider (turtle). She will be 7 on December 31st (that was the day we bought her). She likes to stand on her hind legs and stick her nose out of the water to be petted. We usually rub the top of her nose, she seems to like it.

Happy Birthday to me!!
Today is my 46th birthday. Dave and I both took the day off. We spent the day together doing errands - doctors and dentist appointment, lunch and grocery shopping. For supper we ordered Mandarin (take-out) and mint chocolate chip ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.

NatBloPoMo
National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) ... I read this on Dani's blog (www.tkdchick.blogspot.ca) last year, and now that I have a blog of my own I thought it would be fun to try. I don't usually blog every day because I like to post a photo with each entry I write, and I only post cross stitch photos.
