    Cross stitch

    in General Chat

    I love doing that kind of thing. I am fortunate to also have an embroidery / sewing machine and I have also made alot of presents on that. I think that people much prefer presents that have had some thought and love put into them :D

    I love that one and eventually I want to get the matching one of a little boy playing with a crab as my son was always (and still does) poke around on the beach

     

    Now I really should not have looked at that website in more detail!!! I have just been looking at the embroidery tablecloths...........................!! (Have to wait for payday next week!)

    A couple of questions

    You'd be surprised ... color/colour, humor/humour, tumor/tumour, (basically words that end in -or or -our), then meter/metre, center/centre, theater/theatre (basically words that end in -er or -re), gray/grey are the first ones of the top of my head.

     

    That drives me insane when people are writing in the wrong language!! It is the English language and too much Americanism has crept into our spelling (no insult to our fellow Americans here, at all). So many other languages are based on / devolved from the English languange and I find it soul destroying that ours is being altered like this

     

    Why does the spellchecker default to the American language I wonder? Is it because Microsoft Word is an American concept?.

    Managing Your TBR Pile?

    If my TBR pile includes library books I`ll read them first, the others I choose what I fancy at the time but I must confess it`s often a case of last in first read! for no particular reason. :lol:

     

    That's what I do - clear the library pile, then choose my own. I don't always use up a Xmas or birthday stash first. I have a ritual in which I read one first, then space out the pleasure of presents over a period of a couple of months. Right now I am reading one from my birthday in October! I also try to rotate genres so that I don't get bored, mainly following whatever takes my fancy or mood :blush:

    You're right! Amended.

     

    Have just finished The Rosary Girls, by Richard Montanari. It is my first book by this author, and I was not disappointed.

    Although I cannot get why he decided to sacrifice a little girl instead of a teenanger for his last victim!

     

    I really enjoyed this one and I'm waiting for the library to get the others
