Sampler Club Plan B

Mom and I showed up for Sampler Club and found out that no one had gotten my e-mail reminder.  So we moved stitching to my house.  Bobtail was ecstatic!  He stole our thread and markers.  He tore up our papers.  He chased the DVD we were trying to watch.  Then he took a nap.  Here's a picture of him and his Mawmaw.

My Big Helper

Here's a tip:  Never let your cat help you sort beads.  Here's what my angel did while I was trying to sort the beads for Nora Corbett's 12 Days of Christmas. 

Sweet Moon Rotation Complete

I finished my rotation for Sweet Moon.  I'm going to keep stitching on it though because I have so many to make.  At the rate my friends and family are getting pregnant, this could turn into another Superbowl Tree!  I'm very happy for all of you though.  However, don't be offended if I won't eat or drink after you.  He he.

I've also been working steadily on Tina's Mardi Gras Tree.

Tuesday Night

I went to Tuesday Night Stitching Club.  I did absolutely no stitching!  I visited and shopped instead.  Nikki was there with Makayla.  Kate was "babysitting" when I got there, but had to go home to feed her husband.  So being a good friend, I "babysat" Makayla so Nikki could talk.  Ha ha.  It was such torture.  Eventually I did get the fabric for Bethie's baby announcements and Nikki helped me choose fabric for Makayla's announcement.  They're all going to be pretty.

Sue Birdsong came to stitching tonight.  It's been almost a year since I've seen her.  She's another retired teacher, but she's been busy taking care of her mother and driving to Florida to see grandbabies.  It was great to talk to her again.  We spent a lot of time discussing our favorite children's books.  Even though 10 years separates our teaching careers, we still love the same books.  It's amazing how some classics never change.

I also bought a new pattern.  It's way perfect for gifted.  It's called "What in the World?" by Funk and Weber Designs.  Each hexagon has a close-up view of something from nature.  Wonder when I'll actually get it stitched...

Finished Another Rotation

I finished my 10-hour rotation on Fish City!  I got a lot done.  The end is near!  Woo-hoo!  I've also gotten a lot finished on Tina's Mardi Gras Tree.  I'm finished the bottom half and I'm up working on the top of the tree.
