Crossing

I'm taking a break from it while sorting out the print exchange, but, for the past few weeks I've been working on a large cross stitch. Its about 30 inches square and contains a half a million stitches. It is going to take a while to get completed. I'm estimating 2 years if I don't take too many days off. I'll let you know how it goes. By the way, the prints are all collated and ready to be packaged for shipping.

Littlest Prints

All the prints are in and we are working on sorting the Littlest Print Exchange 2011 for distribution to the contributing artists. This is the part that takes the most time but hopefully, everything will shipped out within a week or two. I looked into stamps.com as a solution for buying postage but it seems unlikely that we'd use it more than once or twice a year, so the subscription fee would be cost prohibitive. Anyone have any good discount shipping suggestions?

Propagation

After just about two weeks, the first tiny cucumbers have started to appear on my plants. Three tomatoes popped out of that plant on the first day they hit the dirt and they've steadily (but slowly) grown to the size of golf balls. I hope it produces more than three fruits.

Mystery Beast

A new record for the month of August, sampled entirely from local Maine musicians. Check out the links to the original artists and listen to their music please.
