I finished up the Christmas ornament for Staci ( I think I need to make me one!!) and will get that out next week, no snap yet. I also worked heavily on the Halloween RR - but am not sure if I like how it is looking..... so I will not show it yet on the off chance I need to hit the froggies - no matter - whatever is done is fine as it needs to get into the mail on Tuesday - so there might be a snap on Monday, but none today. I can't believe how indecisive I am about this piece - usually I just make up my mind and go with it -
The movies on TCM last night were chosen by the Programmer of the month and this month it was Sally Feild- The first flick was "The Awful Truth" - 1937 with Irene Dunne and Cary Grant. This is a great movie and I have seen it many times before - worth seeing if you haven't. This was followed up by "All About Eve" - 1950 - a perfect movie IMHO - and one I can watch over and over!! and have!!
The SBQ -
How do you balance your stitching time with your other obligations such as work,
household chores, etc.?
The way I balance my stitching time is after dinner I settle down and stitch until I go up to iron the clothes for the next day and go to bed. I generally stitch every night. If there is something that has to get done or an errand to run then I do that first. But, I am a creature of habit and I like doing the same thing every evening - I stitch and watch movies!! ( and fight off the hounds that want to sit in my lap and prevent me from stitching, that is another story)
There you go - pretty basic and I am very easy to please.
Now to the comments section of the show.....
Dear Vonna - I did know about the JCS issue this month - and YES, I got my copy as that is another great memorial chart - I really like these two patterns and both of the patterns are just perfect!! Such great sentiments about those that we love and loose.
Dear Donna - you just send any of those black jelly beans my way that you don't want - In fact if truth be told I even by the bags of just black ones because they are so yummy!!!
Dear Carol R - You know how I love those English Pontefract Cakes and just horde any I get - but I also don't really know anyone else who likes them like I do. :)
Another week zooms by - whooooosh - Thanks for stopping by!!!!
Take care,
edgar

Edgar I do believe we could be roommates :)
ReplyDeleteI am a creature of habit as well and if you would iron my clothes...I'd fight the dogs for you! :)
LOL...Vonna's comment made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteAll About Eve is one of those wonderful movies. I have it in my calendar to watch next month at the oldie classics theater. Can't wait!
Love the Awful Truth. I love a good screwball. I should have been around in the 30s.
ReplyDeleteHousehold chores? What are those? LOL I like your thinking about stitching every evening. Oh yea, ironing? I don't know if I even have one. Just kidding, I have to have one to iron my stitching finishes!
ReplyDeleteI do everything on a "need to" basis, and I need to do stitching more than housework! LOL Seriously though, as I'm at home all day I usually stitch in the afternoons having done any necessary housework in the mornings. Very rarely do I stitch in the evenings.
ReplyDeleteI just got the JCS issue too and it has me panting for the ornament issue to come out! There are just too many great ornaments in these to do. I love how your Halloween piece is looking - can't wait to see the verse that you stitch in!
ReplyDeleteI also love "All About Eve"...Great movie!
ReplyDeleteThe frogs have been busy over at my place, so I'm sure they will leave you and your Halloween RR alone.
