house in Oldsmar, Florida. I had originally thought that it might be the Florida Key Deer, but they apparently don't live this far north. Whatever it is, it's always nice to see them roaming around in such a highly populated area.

Catch-Up Time...Stitching Update
(Super framing job by The Crafty Framer in Largo, FL, by the way!)
I can finally post a couple of photos of the surprise cross stitch project. This is "Nora (Corbett)'s Letter S" which I did for my friend Susan's birthday. I was very surprised at how easy it turned out to be. There weren't nearly as many quarter 'x'es as I expected, which was nice and very little backstitching, also a good thing. The metallic thread was less of a problem than I expected. And the beads were really no problem at all. I've already started working on her "P" and plan to do the "D" and "B" next, all for birthday/Christmas gifts. Maybe even this year!

White Bird Strolling
This guy certainly isn't minding the rain. And neither am I. An excellent excuse to stay in all day, stitch, and watch old Bob Hope movies on TCM

A Little Break From Sunday Stitching
Stitching the 'secret' project today. It's coming along quite nicely. Since it's a gift, I can't post a photo of the progress until it's done and given and the Snow has gone into hibernation under the armoire , so no photo with this post. Update on yesterday: The picture isn't framed yet, next week for sure; lunch was great; and there's a nice little pork tenderloin waiting in the fridge to be tossed in the oven later.
And now back to stitching.

Who's chair is this?
Why is the chair next to the Ott-lite and all the cross stitch stuff so appealing to the cat? He doesn't stitch.

Fear and Loathing in the Blogosphere
Okay, maybe not so much the loathing, at least not yet. And fear? Well, yeah, sort of. As usual for my personal modus operandi, I tend to jump into the deep end of something new, then, as I'm glub-glubbing to the edge of the pool, I'm frantically buying books to help me figure out how to really swim, not just dog paddle my way through a new environment/skill/hobby/whatever. So that's where I am now. Armed with several books and periodicals (a list follows) and checking out what other bloggers are doing, I'm cramming like a high school senior for finals and hoping that you, dear reader, will be patient and stay tuned. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.
BLOGGING FOR BLISS, by Tara Frey. This is such a beautiful book with a lot of good information.
BLOGGING FOR DUMMIES, by Susannah Gardner and Shane Birley. Don't laugh. It's jam-packed with all that technostuff put simply enough for even me to understand.

Holy Cow! What do I think I'm doing?
Yep! As usual, I have no clue what I'm doing or how to do it, so please bear with me as I figure it all out and get settled in!
