Nothing to do with Mystery Books… but …

May 7, 2008

This may seem like a very silly blog entry on a site that is devoted to Mystery Books… in particular Cozy Mystery Books  BUT:::

I am pretty sure that I have mentioned that I enjoy cross-stitching a whole lot! Recently most of my cross-stitching involves 11 mm glass beads in one way or another. I use "regular" cross-stitching patterns and simply add the beads that coordinate with the floss colors to achieve a truly 3-D effect…. and I love it!

I started "adapting" my cross-stitch charts shortly after I became addicted to the Mill Hill beaded cross-stitch kits. I thought… why am I purchasing these kits when I have oodles and oodles (that’s a term I haven’t used in "oodles and oodles" of years!) of cross-stitch books and pamphlets?!? And, since I had so many of those little glass beads left over from my past kit projects, I decided to put them to good use.

Of course, with my rather compulsive personality, this meant that I had to separate the mixed beads into little packets, which almost meant that I had a new separate hobby… Thanks to my reading glasses I have been able to "keep ahead of the game" by separating the beads as they become available. I was able to supplement my cross-stitch beading addiction with new bead additions… while our local Michael’s and Hobby Lobby kept the beads in stock. Unfortunately, neither of the stores carries them any longer (anyway our local stores don’t) so I have had to resort to other "suppliers"… See what I mean! It does sound like I’m talking about a true vice addiction!

    Dear Danna,
    I just love your website! Because of this site I read my first Agatha Raisin, (Kissing Christmas Goodbye) Aunt Dimity and Professor Shandy (Rest You Merry) this Christmas. Because I started the series from the end except for Professor Shandy, I now have the obsession of finding all the books in the series on ebay. I prefer hardcover so that is posing a little more of a wait but I’ve already got nine of the Agatha Raisin books. I just read The Thin Woman by Dorothy Cannell and enjoyed that one much more than her latest, Goodbye Ms. Chips. I use your lists all the time to make sure I read them in sequence. I realize I couldn’t possibly read all the books I want to. Again, thanks so much!
