I first saw it on Easter Sunday and loved it so much I ordered it from TCM. You MUST see it!<br />Thanks again for your blog!Peggy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719096552002968247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-33502558637026101292009-08-10T19:23:04.841-07:002009-08-10T19:23:04.841-07:00I really like that first piece you ever stitched! ...I really like that first piece you ever stitched!

(I also watch very few TV shows as most a either poorly acted, dumb in the extreme or so repetitive in dialogue or story line I want to gouge my eyes out!!! I also can not stand 5 mins of show and 8 mins of commercials - that makes me insane!!!!)Finally someone that gets me, and puts it into perfect words. My husband doesn't understand my old movie obsession, and I keep telling him it's because the acting is so superior! <br /><br />Your RR is looking wonderful! I really love the colors. Your first piece is sweet too. I'm glad you finally got it framed.<br />Take Care.Lorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099740341363729893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-75976762367079272882009-08-10T13:01:53.420-07:002009-08-10T13:01:53.420-07:00Edgar, I'm a newbie to your blog and am really...Edgar, I'm a newbie to your blog and am really enjoying it! I think it's great that you got your very first piece framed but am so sorry about your experience with Michael's on the framing. It's always so frustrating finding the right place to get things framed.<br /><br />Like you, I watch movies while I stitch. I don't find much on regular (cable) tv to watch for the same reasons you stated. Thankfully I've got a good (large) movie collection and a netflix membership! LOL I'm planning an MGM musicals marathon this coming weekend. Wanta join me?Mary's Stitchin Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01430552520064718035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-31278330323803282752009-08-10T12:42:47.758-07:002009-08-10T12:42:47.758-07:00Gosh Edgar, you stitch like a mad demon!

Service was slow (we only ordered salad's) and after 45 min. we decided to leave. Our waiter told us "to come back when they weren't so busy"!!! And the thing was...they weren't!! It was after 7PM and only a couple other people in the place!! I was furious and sent a letter to Chili's telling them what happened and said I would never set foot in another Chili's as long as I lived!! So there!! Know what I heard back....NOTHING!!!<br /><br />You must be a fast stitcher. You seem to get a lot done in one session :) <br /><br />I would do away with TV altogether if it weren't for my DH. He likes his sports. I'm like you...I would rather watch an old movie any day :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-45732714809810181462009-08-10T10:52:59.358-07:002009-08-10T10:52:59.358-07:00I don't know what my first piece was and I pro...I don't know what my first piece was and I probably gave it away as a gift....I had something framed at Michael's once that when I went to pick it up it was so far off center it was ridiculous - the woman said they realized that it wasn't centered right but thought I might not mind so they didn't redo it right away....Yes, I minded and yes, they redid it.

Love those little watermelons! <br /><br />I hear you on the TV shows that are out there.

Nice colors on the new RR. <br /><br />I still don't get how you stitch and watch a movie.
