Volume IV, Issue 2 June 2002 Flying ThreadsIndependance on Hiatus!Well, I am just exhausted from sharing my home again with Chris. She has returned from Guelph and has thrown me out of my office. [Office? That’s my bedroom!] For this newsletter I am sitting with the keyboard on the table and the monitor is on a sewing machine stand at a 90 degreee angle. This could be viewed as exercise but I consider it more of torture. [Isn’t that what exercise is -- torture?] I look forward to Chris with her driver’s license and can run my errands. Child labour is sent out into the wilds to do my grocery shopping,. Let her battle the traffic jams. Of course, I am referring to the grocery store and not city traffic. It was just a pipe drearm. [You can keep dreamin’ those pipe dreams too] And as the weather is either HH (hot and humid) or CR (cold and raining), my front yard is looking like a war zone hit by bombs. [This is new... how?] I just stitched a Lizzie Kate - "Only dull women have immaculate homes" [Oh how true that is here]. Chris suggested that I put it next to the welcome sign at the side door. No wonder, tulip bulbs drying in the kitchen and on the front hall rug, boxes and more boxes of Chris’s to return to Guelph in September. How many more hours before I reclaim my house? [Keep countin’.]Meanwhile back at the store. Every Thursday night Elly leaves for the trailer. Fridays, Michelle style have returned. So I am not as prompt as Elly. Isn’t 10:15 the same as 10:00? In tribute to Elly’s and my working relationship, she keeps me neat and focused as I corrupt her on starting new projects, I am mid way through Mirabilia’s "Under the Friendship Tree". Elly has been whipping up quick samples such as the FREE [take note of that wonderful word!] chart called "Teapot Comforts" by Lorri Birmingham. It is now in proud residence on the front counter. I also started the FREE [there it is again!] chart, "Pleasant Words" but I have only started the border on the chart. For a fast finish, we have turned to banding and bell pull ends rather than framing. On the wall behind our counter, are displayed our newest samples. Everyone is in awe of Lynne Nicoletti’s "Wedding Kiss" framed in a shadow box effect. Check out the store for our Christmas in July SALE. Back to the Top
