My great-aunt lived in a Methodist retirement home. The residents put their trash outside their doors at night for pickup. She'd sneak out at night and put her wine bottles in retired ministers' trash.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Yeah, that's the first piece I've done with that level of beadwork, and it was definitely a bitch to work with. The worst part was all the beading that was done on blank portions of the canvas with invisible thread, which lead to me swearing up a storm because I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to finish a stitch!
I'm going to place the order for the materials for this piece next, which I'm going to do for myself.
I've asked my family for Michael's gift cards for Christmas so I can finally get all of my completed cross-stitch pieces framed for my walls.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very impressive, Kathy!

My parents said that their town put in an 8 PM curfew for tonight -- no cars on the roads except for emergencies.

There's a scene in one of the Great Brain books where they get a teacher fired by putting empty liquor bottles in his trash.

I don't remember the whole story from the book. I think there was some reason the teacher really should have been fired, but they couldn't prove it, or something like that. It's been a long while since I read that book.

That is stunning, Kathy. On today's crawl through the craft stores, Hubby bought me a pair of magnifiers I can clip onto my glasses. The bifocals just weren't doing it for being able to do needlework and lace, but I feel so old for having to go with even more vision enhancement.

I did not know they had any such beast. I think I need me a pair. I would love to get back into crochet and cross-stitch, but my trifocals don't cut it.
Kathy, those are awesome pieces of stitching. I hope you take pictures of them when they are done.
