Out Sick

UPDATE: I corrected the Two Sisters' blog address. Sorry, I didn't notice I copied the wrong address yesterday. Shouldn't post when I am sleep deprived!

I've not done any stitching or finishing this weekend
as I've been out sick with food poisoning from the yogurt treat I allow myself every Saturday. So I have done nothing but the basic chores all weekend and still don't feel that great. (Anyone think I can sneak a nap in before work?)

However, lots of other folks have been busy posting about their stitching on their blogs. If you take a little tour, you can see lots of fun things to treat your eyes and give you ideas of what to stitch in the coming year.

Kelly's just started her blog. She has this chair she puts pillows on and what pillows they are! I wonder if the Kelly Clark Santa she is stitching currently will end up on The Chair someday?

The Stitching Sisters Blog is a cooperative effort and because it showcases two stitchers' work, there is always something new and fun to see, from the Barbara Elmore mantelpiece to the Limoges box, by way of a purse and a box lid. And that's just on the first page! Work backwards to see other goodies that these two talented stitchers are working.

Madonna, the Front Range Stitcher, has decided to start on her two whispering cat geishas canvas. This is from Patt and Lee, whose website is below Madonna's blog link. Patt and Lee are unusual designers in that they produce designs on both interlock and mono canvas and also as charts.

That's enough for now. You have links to explore and I really do have to lie down for a while.

Whoops! Sorry Patt and Lee. Shouldn't post when I feel awful, should I?

And I accidentally deleted Kelly's nice get well message!

And it is snowing--we'll get 2-4 inches followed by an ice storm.

I'm going to crawl under the covers and moan a little bit.

Thanks, Pat. I am feeling much better, although a bit sore from shoveling snow four times yesterday. I even shoveled two paths for the tires to follow all the way down the driveway and back. The driveway is 3/10 of a mile--you may call me Superwoman.

LOL

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with
experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Personally I use Blogger, which has tools that allow a beginner to set up a blog without knowing HTML or JavaScript or anything else. Having some simple HTML knowledge helps, but isn't necessary unless you want to add things. I will say Blogger isn't as flexible as it used to be. Google updates it and I think each update it is less easy to use. WordPress is another free blog builder. Some people think it works better than Blogger but I can't say that I have noticed that.
