TGIF

You may have seen on other blogs, Friday Fill-Ins.

I went, I saw, I copied, I pasted:

1. Good times: __a plate of cookies & a cup of tea__.
2. _I NEED to sell_ my home.
3. Sleigh bells ring _are you listening ?
4. ___Money- just a _ little.
5. Once more __I don’t want to ride_.
6. ___Will this cold snap ever__ end?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _TV watching_, tomorrow my plans include __visiting Bob & barn Xmas dinner_ and Sunday, I want to __sleep___!

And in an awesome development, I stitched today! I actually stitched!

Yes, Virginia, there IS a Great Pumpkin!

What’s in Your Bag?

Stitch Bitch proposed this meme a couple of weeks ago. Always a day late and a dollar short is me, but it’s been fun to read what other people carry in their stitching bags. Here’s mine:

My repurposed bag from a Womens’ Conference my best friend attended several years ago.

Back row, left to right:

in purple bag is the end of a roll of paper towels around which I wrap unframed WIPS; my PS Christmas Eve chart & framed WIP; in the yellow plastic envelope just above is some silks I carry around in case I want to work on a monochrome ornament although I no longer carry around the chart for those ornaments (!); my Quaker Halloween chart & my floss selections is under the large blue plastic envelope which contains my WDW, GAST, and Crescent Colours floss lists; then the scavenger hunt answers for the Online Needlework Show and some miscellaneous freebie charts. In the front row is a bookmark, my needlebox, and a spool of red thread for marking fabric centers or attaching fabric to scroll frames, and lastly, a fat honking pile of orts (Yuck!)

My needle box has some Thread Heaven, a threader, needles (Doh!), scissors, a seam ripper. a yellow pencil for marking off my working charts. I think that’s a spare skein of black or DMC 3371, some odd buttons and more orts.

Pig Pen with straps!

Six Random Things About ME..ME..ME..

Is that too narcissistic?

Anna, over at StitchBitch, tagged me for Six random Things. Way to go Anna, takes care of another day's post. You bitch. (That's tongue-in-cheek sarcastic in case you don't know me!!)

The rules are as follows:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know your entry is up.

OOOO.. my FIRST meme!

1. This is the VERY first time I've been tagged! (Take that!)
2. I can't type worth a damn- I backspace more than forward ...space...er...type.
3. I've been working for my boss for over 26 years! And I still love my job!
4. I went thru a cigar smoking stage about 10 years ago when my brother lived in Spain and could mail me Cubanos! My favorites were Partegas and MonteCristos.
5. I sleep with a light on.
6. My half-uncle went to the South Pole with Admiral Bird in the 30's. He was the radio operator.

OK- here's the hard part- picking some victims! This is why I absolutely HATE chain letters! (Random fact #7?) I will pick blogs on which I've left comments or have left comments on mine:

1. Anna at Cookie Madness
2. Edgar at Blacksheep's Bit of the Web
3. On The Bit at Horse and a Half
4. Jennifer at Running With Scissors
5. Vonna at The Twisted Stitcher
6. Glenna at Eye of the Needle
