[speaker002:] um what kind of hobbies do you have
[speaker001:] um I do a lot of cross-stitching and painting when I do have spare time oh I love it
[speaker002:] really I like cross-stitch too  I just have a hard time finding any spare time lately
[speaker001:] I'm that's my case also I've got a new born and and there's just no time
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] have have you been cross-stitching long
[speaker002:] oh several years my husband is even interested in it now he likes to help me design um you know projects that are a little more customized
[speaker001:] oh really mine sort of he looks at the pattern and he says how do you get that from there to the to the material
[speaker002:] not that hard I really I really enjoy it
[speaker001:] but oh its not and once uh once you get started on it it's just oh I just I love it I do a lot of my own patterns also
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] in fact I did one uh Bill the Cat you know from Glenn County
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] that uh was a real good one to do it was it was tough but uh yeah do you have any others or is it just mainly cross-stitch
[speaker002:] um I do mostly that um not very artistic really for like painting and stuff
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh um
[speaker002:] but now I don't know
[speaker001:] yeah uh but I well I'm still trying to get all the DMC colors
[speaker002:] oh really yeah I've got the kits to to put them all in I don't have them all yet
[speaker001:] uh right yeah uh got to counting the other day and uh I think I have what was it two hundred and I got to thinking the money that I've got invested in this
[speaker002:] certainly
[speaker001:] is uh it uh yeah it can add up quick
[speaker002:] oh yeah I just I just keep an inventory of what I currently have and then when I start a a new project I go through and see if I if I you know just buy the colors that I need of what I'm low on
[speaker001:] um-hum right I see well now can I improvise with adding using another color color instead you know what comes close
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] because a lot of them are are similar
[speaker002:] yeah a lot of times you can do that think the I think the pinks there's like forty two different shades of pink
[speaker001:] good grief yeah there's there's lots of pinks and greens
[speaker002:] pinks and greens yeah
[speaker001:] there's lots of shades of greens
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but the colors are I just love all the different colors
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] they had they had quite a few new ones come out last year that they added to but but you don't have much spare time either
[speaker002:] well not lately I even started a new job and trying to get acclimated there
[speaker001:] oh yes and that does take sometime yes we're trying to get acclimated with the uh with having a baby and there's just he's seven months old
[speaker002:] yeah how old oh yeah
[speaker001:] and just into everything so there's not a spare moment oh but I wouldn't trade it for the world I've been trying to do some bibs for him
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] and uh and and work on his Christmas stocking
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] we missed it the the last year so hopefully this year he'll have one
[speaker002:] yeah well last year he was a little bit young for having one
[speaker001:] uh right right
[speaker002:] probably wouldn't have enjoyed it anyway
[speaker001:] he oh he liked right if it tasted good yeah uh
[speaker002:] you would have but
[speaker001:] uh yeah all he liked was the lights this year so
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] oh well that's neat that uh you like cross-stitch also
[speaker002:] yeah that's that's kind of strange that we got the same call
[speaker001:] yeah uh uh
[speaker002:] it to which oh
[speaker001:] oh I'm sorry go ahead
[speaker002:] no that's okay
[speaker001:] okay uh but yeah I've been doing it for probably about ten years or so
[speaker002:] oh wow no I just started about well five years ago I think
[speaker001:] but but it is peaceful I mean it is relaxing to do once you find the time to do it
[speaker002:] um-hum there's bit off a couple of large projects baby afghans and got one done and I think the other one's gonna the child is gonna be in high school before I get finished
[speaker001:] oh  on that uh is it one of those uh afghans that I've seen in the packages or the the squares large squares
[speaker002:] embarrassing well yeah I just I bought the cloth and the the pattern for it I didn't um I didn't buy the uh I didn't buy a kit
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh well I've seen the afghans in the in the stores that uh are designed for cross-stitch
[speaker002:] uh-huh it's it's that cloth it's called Anne Cloth I think and it has the borders and everything already
[speaker001:] oh okay um-hum yeah those are pretty
[speaker002:] number one turned out just great and the lady said she couldn't believe that they know that I had done it in the colors that they had decorated the uh the nursery and I didn't even know it
[speaker001:] oh that's a coincidence
[speaker002:] she I gave it to her and she said how did you know those are the colors we used I said didn't
[speaker001:] that was a good coincidence
[speaker002:] just worked out that way
