I am not sure if I should post this… The last time I raved about something that I love I received MANY emails from folks who didn’t take the time to read the blog, and simply asked me to send them the free Kraft Food and Family Magazine. I sent each of them a letter giving them the phone number and email address of the real distributors of the magazine… and am hoping that each of them received\u00a0 my letters and that they are actually getting the magazines now.<\/p>\n
Anyway… back to why I am writing this blog. I know that I have mentioned (probably several times) that I am a cross stitcher. I just love to cross stitch while I watch television… something that bothers my husband, so I don’t stitch while we watch something together. I am wandering (again!) from my blog’s point…<\/p>\n
Last summer (2007) my daughter and I took a tour through Canada and some of the northeastern states. Whenever we had free time to do our own thing, we would wander around… and invariably find a bookstore of some sort. One time, when I was looking for something other than a cozy mystery (or police procedural, true crime, ETC!) to read, I found myself looking at the magazines. I found myself drawn to a magazine that I had seen in the past: Cross Stitch & Needlework Magazine.<\/p>\n
I usually purchase cross stitching books and pamphlets for the projects that I want to do, but I had been drawn to Cross Stitch & Needlepoint magazine before… When I got home, I put it on my Christmas Wish List, and was very happy when I received a subscription. This is a magazine that I actually keep “whole” rather than rip out the pages that most interest me. That’s because almost all of the pages interest me!\u00a0I get a sprinkling of different artists (as in cross stitchers) projects. I enjoy reading the letters to the editor,\u00a0the editor’s letters in each issue, the “fabulous finds” page,\u00a0the projects… even the ads are beautiful to look at!<\/p>\n
If you have a non-cozy mystery find that you would like to share… please feel free to drop me a comment…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
