Today....

I finished another TWO! Yes, siree, sir another pair of ornies bit the dust yesterday. The first found completion at lunch and is in 3 DMCs on a natural linen and the pattern is Papillon’s Serendipity Sampler part 5 without the outer border. I like it enough to want to do another in similar greens and maybe one in reds too. Hmmmm.


The second is the long-suffering Dutch motif in Carrie’s Highland Hills and DMC blanc. I think this will remain mine. I finished it during the stitch-in.



Speaking of the stitch-in, here’s the clan – That’s Judy wreathed in Mill Hill reindeer (she’s doing one for each family member):


Then there’s Allison working on a box for her Star Wars episodes:


And Jenn showing off parts of her pieced needlepoint poodle from Sew Much Fun (if you’ve never done one of their animals, you can try one in safety knowing that they do excellent stitch guides and paint their canvases very well):


And here’s my proof that I was in attendance—iced tea, scissors, and the Dutch piece….


Sad to say, today is not about stitching. Today is about cleaning my office. Wish me luck!

Quote of the day in honor of the “big” memo I sent out to all offices this week—I’m quite sure no one trembled because I’d lay a quarter on the line that no one opened it yet:
“The sub-lords of Hell trembled. This was going to be dreadful. It might even result in a memo.” Pratchett -- Eric
