Triple Happy Dance!

Finished the cat Santa for my sister early last week, did a quick
Christmas stitch from Cedarberry Stitches (Up and Away) and last
night, I finished Edwina Gorey - which makes finish #3 in the last
week! AND I even picked up my Laura Perin Mardi Gras and did a bit on
it.

Of course, stitching so much, I didn't take pictures yet, but will
tonight.

I'm on a roll!

Woo-hooo!!!!!
You certainly ARE on a roll!

I'm on a bit of a roll myself. Finished four ornament tops in the past
week or so (a Margaret Sherry cat and three motifs from Emie Bishop's
"Christmas Quilts"), and have started to assemble kits for finishing
them up. But that finishing work will wait until next week. I have
travel plans for the weekend that involve some small travel stitching,
so I've already begun those projects with an eye toward getting them far
enough along that they won't take a lot of thinking as I travel/visit.

That, and started the new book by Mary Monica this a.m. That'll be
lovely travel reading, too!

The one thing I didn't prepare for this trip is catching DH's nasty head
cold/cough. I'm working hard to keep it at bay, with lots of strong,
clear tea, hot showers, and my trusty Fisherman's Friends!

Another busy girl - where is travel taking you?

Hmm - forgot to ask the library to get that

I was handing out FF to all the Dads at hockey practice - most hated the
taste too much to really give a try, but those who did, are converts.

Sounds like one for Tia Mary. Off to google up a photo for myself, too.

Sure does't look like Mardi Gras to me!! No-one in the Big Easy would
guess that, either. Mardi Gras colors are purple, green and gold.

I thought maybe it was just my monitor, but if you don't see those
colors, either.....


I was looking for the colors and totally missed the piece! I've only
been up for about 30 min. and my vision is still a bit wonky this AM so
reading the itty bitty titles was a no-go :-). CiaoMeow ^;;^

Oh I wish I hadn't looked. I want "cut glass dishes" for sentimental
reasons. My grandmother collected cut glass and so do I. And I'd love to do
the Odd Fellows piece for my uncle - an Odd Fellow.

I thought the Oddfellows had packed up years ago. However, Google pulls
up several sites that show that they are very active. It's amazing how
many of these old-fashioned Friendly Societies (such as the Rechabites)
still thrive even in these days of financial difficulties.
