You know something - when I type out a title - and don't add -"and some movies" just know that there really were some but not worth mentioning or I am going to yap about something else - but today ..... Let us first talk Christmas!! Yesterday was a double delivery for me for the Ornament Swap - First to arrive was the Ornament that Becky stitched for me -
This totally cute ornament is a Mary Garry design called "Reindeer on the Roof" and is stitched and finished so perfectly on 32ct Amber using DMC & GAST floss. I just love it!!! Since we have two address' we often will get two mail deliveries as the mail carriers will split the mail - I have no clue why or what the criteria is but it happens and so I got a second ornament
- stitched by Staci -
This sweet thing is from the JCS 2002 Issue and is called "Quaker Christmas Tree" - and he is stitched up so wonderfully on 32 ct Lambswool using WDW Collards. I totally embrace my crazy Quaker obsession as most of you know so this was just a perfect choice to stitch!! Both of these lovelies will be such treats on our tree this year as will all the ornaments!!!
As I said before I am just loving this swap!!!!
Last night was a continuation of the Star of the Month on TCM - showcasing Carole Lombard - the flicks I got to see were some I hadn't before - and it is a shame as they were really good - We didn't get home until late so I started the evening off with "Virtue" - 1932 - bad girl goes good, but will the husband forgive her past kinda thing - I enjoyed this film and thought it had great pacing and Pat O'Brien was excellent in the roll of jerk Taxi Driver/husband. Second on the bill was "No More Orchids" - 1932 - about a society rich girl giving it all up for love - very precode in subject matter but well done and Carole couldn't have been more lovely!! Third on the bill was a very early talkie - "The Racketeer" - 1929 - very early and not such great production / print but it was very interesting to see Hedda Hopper "acting" and to see an early performance of Carole's - just beautiful and you can see the star quality shine through the pretty poor delivery.
Did some more exchnage stitching - but no snappy yet......
Thanks for stopping by!!
Take care,
edgar
