Weekly Rotation #9 ~ Save the Stitches 01/01-01/07

Hello Everyone! 

I hope the New Year has started off fantastic for you all! I have started my weekly rotations with Save the Stitches Blackwork Journey. Although I am not stitching it with any black whatsoever. After the first week, I have been thinking that maybe I might try changing up the rotation a bit. And instead of a weekly rotation, I'll do a biweekly rotation so that I'm working on each project for two weeks at a time instead of just one. But since up until now, I have been doing the weekly rotation, I wanted to go ahead and share my small start on Save the Stitches.

So I will continue this week with Save the Stitches! 

On a side note, we have a new addition to our family. A couple of days ago, we rescued a cute little puppy, that someone had left by the trash dumpster in the alley behind a friend's house. Our friends couldn't keep him, so we took our other furbaby over there to make sure they would get along. And with the exception that my Jack doesn't realize how big and strong he is, they get along fine. We will have to watch them when they are together until the new puppy gets big enough to be on his own with Jack so that Jack doesn't unintentionally hurt him. But other than that, they do like each other. The kids named the new puppy JJ. So now we have Jack and JJ.
