A lot of the time I think I know a definition but when I investigate the meaning can be quite different.<br />I love to read about foods from other cultures and try to be adventurous with other types of food.<br />Lovely to see your J stitching (especially the beautiful birthday card) and I confess until finding Jo's blog there used to be very few designers I would know by name, mainly from seeing them in x stitch !<br />Great post, look forward to seeing more!<br />Barbara xFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903303858533770576.post-83659286205887750132017-01-29T07:36:43.567+03:002017-01-29T07:36:43.567+03:00P.S.

However, unlike dear Jo, I am a foodie and love trying new foods although sometimes they don't like me - lol! It's funny, this is the second time this week that I have seen Jalebi - they were important in the film, Lion, which saw this week and reviewed on my blog.

I am fascinated by the origin of words, the English borrowed many Indian words in our colonial days.<br />I am definitely not a foodie, I like the English version of Chinese food but other than that I could quite happily eat the same foods every day.<br />I do love that Jan Houtman Quakers, the colours are stunning.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903303858533770576.post-35992789338384794842017-01-27T02:02:44.017+03:002017-01-27T02:02:44.017+03:00What an interesting "J" post--it is fun ...What an interesting "J" post--it is fun to read about foods from different countries :) Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903303858533770576.post-27095064023886745252017-01-25T08:24:56.036+03:002017-01-25T08:24:56.036+03:00Ha ha it will be years before I gather the strengt...Ha ha it will be years before I gather the strength the courage to stitch them.<br />I love the card too, Joanne's pattern didn't loose any detail even though its a small design.<br />I searched for her designs on internet, looks like she isn't designing anymore.<br />Her blog has not been updated since long and the website doesn't work :( <br />You can find books written by her on amazon/ebay though.Minihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645232013036378977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903303858533770576.post-30489497848967836732017-01-25T08:17:48.666+03:002017-01-25T08:17:48.666+03:00With the number of projects we cross stitchers fin...With the number of projects we cross stitchers finish in a year ,it is easy to forget the designer name.I agree specially if the pattern is out of a magazine. We may remember the name of magazine but we don't give much attention to designer.<br />That's why I write the name of the designer in my journal every time I stitch a design and my OCD drives me crazy when the designer isn't specified for the free cover kits , which happens often.Minihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645232013036378977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903303858533770576.post-9975485425471906982017-01-25T08:10:22.195+03:002017-01-25T08:10:22.195+03:00Isn't it interesting to know the origin of dif...Isn't it interesting to know the origin of different words we use in our daily life.<br />Great to know that you enjoy travelling and experimenting with food like me.We now have more common interests in addition to cross stitch.Food is one of the most important items on my check list where ever I travel.Minihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645232013036378977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903303858533770576.post-76725873984194751592017-01-25T08:03:23.122+03:002017-01-25T08:03:23.122+03:00I am a big sweet tooth which I get from my father....I am a big sweet tooth which I get from my father.
