Cross-stitch patterns for free

    I was looking for a website that offers cross-stitch patterns.  I like this one, cross stitch club , and was able to download a couple of free patterns when I signed up.  After the first few you have to decide if you want to recruit your friends and earn more points, like I am with the above link, or you can sign up and pay to access all the patterns for free.  I do not cross stitch enough to need a monthly subscription.  But if you do, I recommend this site. It is very diverse and the pattern I downloaded was very good quality and very detailed.  I am happy with it and am going to use it to make a little something for my neighbor's new born son.

Where did it go?

      Lately I have been making a lot of canned goods.  Jellies, jams, and syrups to be exact.  I made up a bag of these goodies, with explanation of the types and what they are good for and donated them to my daughter's school's fall festival.  They were supposed to be auctioned but ended up not there at all.  Where did my donation go I wonder?  I have emailed the teacher to find out.  That is ridiculous to donate something and have people either eat it themselves or who knows what with it.  My husband thinks they may have put it in the cake walk.  Even though it was not a cake or a dessert.  Hmm.  I had jalapeno jelly, rosemary jelly, muscadine jelly, and mexican chocolate syrup put in the bag.
