Sentimental Stitches

The sun is shining and there’s nice weather predicted for late afternoon when the kids come downtown to trick or treat at all the shops. Clutch and I bought four huge bags of candy to hand out and hope we don’t run out before we close at 6 PM. I don’t have trick or treaters [...]

I realized while looking at my “to do” list this morning that the Nancy Page Magic Vine block of the month will be ending with the flip of the calendar page for November. I hope you’ve been able to complete all (or some) of your blocks. I have embroidered strips I want to finish this [...]

Clutch is glued to my lap this morning. I sure wish it would warm up a little around here. It’s a good thing I have lots of stitching I want to do today and maybe a trip to town later in the day.
My assigned Stitcher’s Angel likes pink and blue pastels so I pulled a [...]

Clutch and I have been sooooo… lazy this morning. We’ve been snuggling on the couch for almost 4 hours. Clutch hasn’t even gone outside for morning peepee and poopsy. He looked at the open door as I was making coffee but didn’t move and when he saw me grab the remote for the TV he [...]

It’s a gloomy, windy, cold and wet morning here in TC. It would be nice to stay snuggled up with Clutch on the couch today doing some applique or embroidery but that’ll have to wait until tomorrow when we have a day off. I have some final stitches to finish up my Stitcher’s Angel gifts [...]

It’s supposed to be a cold and very windy day in Traverse City. I’m off to work at the store today - no surprise there huh? I spent the morning making some extra signs for sale items and one in particular that says “Not For Sale”. That one is going above Clutch’s bed. Everyone wants [...]

International Quilt Market in Houston opens today. I can picture it all in my mind, right down to the Paula Nadelstern like carpeting

in the walkways from the Hilton Hotel over to the convention center.
More on Quilt Market later. Right now, it’s off to work at the store. I can’t quite make up my mind if [...]

I woke up this morning to hear more disheartening news about the economy around the world and warnings of another crazy day on the U.S. stock market. Profits are down for this company and that one, job layoffs in the hundreds of thousands and I can attest to employers downsizing with my own job ending [...]

Darn !

Overslept !

Don’t want to be late for work.

Looking at this little clown online I don’t like the shape of one of his arms. I’ll fix it tonight after work.

Sorry………….

He’s still a cute little clown even if he looks like a squished gummy bear.

A mother who came in the store last week. She had two very handsome boys and was pushing a pram with a baby inside. Rita and I looked inside and nearly fainted. I’ll be the first to say that all babies are cute but there was a sleeping little girl inside that pram who was [...]
