Thanks for sending Nancy!
| Your Brain’s Pattern |
 You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you’re hard to read, but that’s because you’re so internally focused. But when you do share what you’re thinking, people are impressed with your imagination. |
Thanks for this link, Nancy. I actually followed it from another link.
And I was born in the 11th month also. I can relate to a lot of this info.
You entered: Dianne
There are 6 letters in your name.
Those 6 letters total to 29
There are 3 vowels and 3 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 11
The characteristics of #11 are: High spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer.
The expression or destiny for #11:
Your Expression number is 11. The number 11 is the first of the master numbers. It is associated with idealistic concepts and rather spiritual issues. Accordingly, it is a number with potentials that are somewhat more difficult to live up to. You have the capacity to be inspirational, and the ability to lead merely by your own example. An inborn inner strength and awareness can make you an excellent teacher, social worker, philosopher, or advisor. No matter what area of work you pursue, you are very aware and sensitive to the highest sense of your environment. Your intuition is very strong; in fact, many psychic people and those involved in occult studies have the number 11 expression. You possess a good mind with keen analytical ability. Because of this you can probably succeed in most lines of work, however, you will do better and be happier outside of the business world. Oddly enough, even here you generally succeed, owing to your often original and unusual approach. Nonetheless, you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents.
The positive aspect of the number 11 expression is an always idealistic attitude. Your thinking is long term, and you are able to grasp the far-reaching effects of actions and plans. You are disappointed by the shortsighted views of many of your contemporaries. You are deeply concerned and supportive of art, music, or of beauty in any form.
The negative attitudes associated with the number 11 expression include a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer. Fantasy and reality sometimes become intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others irrespective of their desire or need.
For cripes sake, I use to watch Monty Python on PBS when I was a teenager!

this quiz was made by alanna
I’m doing two questions in one week:
How do you `non-hoopists’ who use a rotation system handle it (as it seems to be lot easier if you are in good terms with hoop)? Do you have several scroll frames? Do you use Q-snaps or maybe something completely different? Or do you just have one or two big projects and others are small enough to be kept in hand while stitching?
I have about 4 sets Q-snaps. I can only enjoy and handle the smaller ones that are about 12″x12″. If I am working on an ornament I stitch in hand which is difficult for me. I do have a scroll frame that I should try to utilize for bigger pieces.
Do you mark or hi-lite your patterns or can you follow them without any markings? Do you make copies to mark up, or do you mark originals?
No, I put the pattern in a see-through
plastic sleeve and use either a post-it or piece of tacky masking tape to guide me. To make it easier, I try to do a bunch of the same color stitches at a time. I can usually follow smaller patterns no bigger than 4″ without marking my spot.
Not much new in the stitching dept. I did finish a freebie from Prairie Schooler called ‘Stick it Here’. Thanks to Barbara for that. I am going to apply it to the lid of a round tin. Before I do that, I will spray paint the tin a tan color. I got a nice neutral color so I can use it on the other tins I have.
I am alternating the two Love Quilt squares due early next year. I am bored to tears with the train engine. I will persevere because I am adding a special touch to it. I’ll share it when I complete it. I am also doing a cute bear from a UK magazine. I just frogged it a bit tonight, but I love doing this one. I am working on a few little things too, but I can’t tell you what they are until the holidays are over.
I think a stitching question should be-” Do you know all the DMC colors by their numbers?” I sure do. I was in Walmart yesterday and I always pick up a few and I decided I needed ‘611’ and ‘612’ (browns) two colors that The Prairie Schooler patterns use. I really could have grabbed a ‘844’ too. : )
Ok gang,
I have a little paperback book from Barron’s Whiz Quiz called The World of Nature. Let’s see if you know the answers to a few of the questions. I had to think a bit, so you do the same. Write down your answers. No goggling!! Answers will be in the comment section of this post.
What mammal has the longest life expectancy?
how about another?
How old are the giant Sequioa trees in California?
and finally…
If a plant was to be described as sanative, what power will it have?
1 year today!
I really love to blog and I hope anyone who reads it gets a ‘little something’ out of it. ; )

There had been three little boys missing in Camden, NJ since Wednesday night. They were 11, 6 and 5. Tonight they were found dead in an abandoned car that the police said they had checked the first night they were missing. So everyone is wondering if the police checked the trunk (the car was right next to one of the boy’s home in a grassy lot) or that someone killed them and snuck them in the trunk. This is so sad.
I never let Sean play outside by himself when he was young. Why were those little boys with an 11 year old? Why didn’t the older one have sense not to get into a trunk of a car? So many questions. You would think someone would hear them kicking on the lid of the trunk if they got stuck in there. It’s been warm here too. I just hope there isn’t foul play involved.
Sean rented ‘Ladder 49’ the Joaquin Phoenix (really ‘his’ movie) and John Travolta movie. The ending wasn’t what I expected, so I was bummed about that and then had to hear about the little Camden boys made me feel terrible for their families.
Earlier I was surfing from a James Taylor link (he is on the AOL screen tonight) and was reading up on Sally (JTs daughter) foundation called ‘The Tranquility Project’ which is to help do away with land minds around the world. The late Princess Diana was an advocate about this. Good work Sally and good luck with your natural food line called ‘Sally in the Raw’. She’s a cool lady. I had the privilege to see her in a free concert with her band a few years ago. I must be a long, lost cousin of that family because I feel so akin with many of them.
I’m following Abby’s blog about a 16 yr old guy named Zach down in Memphis who ‘came out’, telling his parents he was gay and only having them toss him in a place to ‘get the gay’ out of him called ‘Love in Action’ which is a load of crap. There’s a big protest going on to ‘Free Zach’. I hope it at least helps to get him out of there and closes the place down.
(Thanks Abby for this one)
