Guess what I found in the mailbox earlier this week . . .
This cute piece of stitching from my giveaway winner
Ranae. My apologies, Ranae, for not posting this earlier, but my DH had custody of the camera for the golf tournament earlier this week.
Isn't this little pincushion sweet? It feels like it must be stuffed with crushed walnut shells (?). Beautiful colors (a little brighter in real-life), pretty finishing fabric -- I love it, THANK YOU, Ranae!
Our DS recieved the Arrow of Light, the highest achievement in Cub Scouting, tonight. The ceremony was awesome! This flaming arrow, which was lit at the climax of the ceremony, was 8 feet long.
Today was the first 100% humidity day of the year and HOT with mosquitos and gnats and it started raining during the ceremony (but a little rain doesn't stop Scouts) -- but everyone had a great time.
Needles(s) to say -- no stitching done today. Still practicing the bullion knot roses before I put them on my final piece, the roses and attaching the charm are all I have left to complete "Mother's TLC". If I can get it done tomorrow morning, I can use the 60% off framing coupons from Michaels -- wish me luck!
The recent oil spill in the Gulf is looking pretty bad. Officials have opened shrimping season early (catch what you can while there is time) -- not sure if that qualifies as a silver lining.
{{{Stepping onto my soap box}}}
Please consider supporting the Louisiana seafood industry by choosing Certified Louisiana/Cajun seafood instead of the cheaper (and not nearly so tasty) Chinese imports.
Thank you.
