Sunday Starts

 

I wanted to start another sampler.

The other one is so slow to stitch.

I think this will be a faster one...

but will continue to work on the other one.

I plan on this one being a tribute 

to my grandmothers.

I will change this a bit to and it will be a surprise. 

Was not sure if I was going to like this border.

To me it looks like a Grecian pattern.

Once I started stitching on it 

though it is growing on me.

However I already frogged out the letter "A".

These letters are charted to be green and red.

The green to me too much like Christmas.

I did not want a row of Christmas colors.

In fact the second row is also the same.

The picture looks more gray to me,

so I may make row 2 gray and red.

Will see.

Stitching this on 32ct Sand.

My next start is a Halloween one.

Am loving this witch thus far.

Stitching this on 28ct Flapper Cashel purple linen.

A perfect color for Halloween! 

In other news, I hope everyone is aware that 

if VP Harris gets her way and puts in a price freeze...

then our country will be like the 1970's

all over again when President Nixon tried it.

It forces stores to only stock what they can make

money on and then the other items go away.

Everyone in my opinion should take a class

in Economics to know what I am talking about. 

Just like when I knew having the high pay raise 

for the Stellanis workers during the strike

was going to result in folks losing their job. 

Sure some will reap their higher wage increase,

but now 500 lost their jobs....

with more to come.

Companies need to make money or they go out of

BUSINESS.

Same is true for any business...even our 

small antique and gift store.

We have to cover the utilities and taxes.

Nothing is free.

The shipping cost of goods just for our little

gift shop has risen 25%...

therefore we have to raise the price 

in order to make money. 

Also dont get me started on giving $25,000

to first time homeowners either.

My Economics tells me this will result in

buyers raising their prices on properties

because they know that folks get money.

This will not work either.

Its just a pipe dream.

Economics 101.

Get rid of the green new deal regulations

that are being forced on the auto industry and other manufacturers.

Become energy independent which will lower

the cost of gas,

which will further lower the cost of goods

that need to be transported all over.

This administration has spent way too much money.

They need to curb the spending.

My personal spending has limits...

so should the governments.

Student bailout $150 million.

$224 billion to force auto companied to go EV.

$300 billion in increasing SNAP by 25%.

(sure wish I could get a 25% rise)

They spent $7 billion on only 8 EV charging stations.

How many of those even work?

That's just some of the spending.

Over 300 million people live in the US.

You want to help us all...

then give us the unspent money you are spending.

That would put a lot of money 

into our pockets to spend.

I worked hard to get where I am.

Nothing was given to me.

Ok enough of my rant.

Today we are headed to a birthday party

foe a young friend who turns 88 today.

Ron is a magician and I love watching him perform.

We just hope the rain will hold off

as it is an outdoor party.

Sunday Blessings To All!
