Aunt Linda's Cocoa Gravy Recipe
Some people would get out of bed only for coffee. There are two things that will make me hop out of bed with great joy early in the morning*:
1. A new box of cereal (any flavor I like, just a new one)
2. Aunt Linda's Cocoa Gravy
*This list is NOT in order of importance
This recipe tastes best at her house, made in the same bowl she has made it in since nineteen eighty something.

2019 Stitchy Wish List
There are only a few items that I are giving me ALL THE FEELS and I must start in 2019. Let's be honest, everything gives me the feels, but these are all of them right now!
They are:
Strawberry House by Scarlett House. Yes Yes please. This is a perfect plane project.
I really like Coffee Quaker by Heartstring Samplery and it has had my eye for quite some time. I would like to frame it and hang it behind our coffee area in the kitchen.

Chalkboard ornaments by Hands On Design. There are 9 and I will need to order the Linen from Fabrics by Stephanie ahead-of-time because it is dye-to-order.
There are many bird patterns in this collection but I would like to start with this one, Birds IV by Heartstring Samplery. I would like to do them all in time and frame them individually and make a beautiful grouping on a wall. That American Robin, yes, another great plane project.

Be Exceedingly Diligent by Needlework Press keeps showing up in my feed and I MUST DO IT. The entire thing is stitched in DMC but there are a few ladies on Insta doing it in silks. I will stalk their feeds and watch the progress to see if this will be my first project with silk thread.
Virtue Sampler by La Di Da. My Aunt Linda's last name is Virtue and this is her brick house and those are her trees in her yard out past the highway 12 bridge at Beaver Lake in Rogers, Ar. All the feels, ALL THE FEELS.
