Even more tipsy

The tipsy tree has captured my stitching heart. I've done four so far. Sorry about the quality of the photo, I was too lazy to iron them. The pieces will be turned into tree ornaments for friends. I need to decide on the backs and then stitch them up. I do all my stitching by hand, so it will probably be an easy design.

I have decided on the design I'm going to stitch for the USEBB Christmas Ornament exchange. I've done the design and one similar to it several times. Like the Tipsy Tree, this design has a place in my heart also. All I need to do is pull the threads and decide which fabric I'm going to use. Most likely the fabric will be Cashel since I really like to stitch on it. I'll see.

The open house at the Humane Society went well. The day was beautiful. We adopted two little pups. We had hoped to adopt more, but the lookers has something very specific in mind. We just didn't have the dogs this time. Maybe next. I do not understand people. Someone dropped off three little kittens without telling us. They just left them to fend for themselves. They are now in the shelter. We also have four, count them, four black cats. We don't adopt them out at this time of year.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy stitching to each of you.

Any Idea?

Well, now I've temporarily misplaced the notebook I have all the Just Cross-Stitch ornament issues filed. Any idea where it might be? HeHe. There's a cat ornament that I wanted to stitch for some of the volunteers at the Humane Society. I mean, there's only five rooms in this duplex, so the notebook can't be far. It's not in the ROOM, because the clutter in there has been moved this week. So, it must be in the bedroom. Hope I find it soon. Time is getting away from me.
Tonight I finished a small scissor fob, but can't show it because it's part of an exchange. I also started the finishing on the tin topper, but it's just not centered right. Guess I'm too tired as it's nearing my bedtime. I'm one of those early to bed, early to rise kind of people. After nine o'clock I'm pretty much useless.
Went to the Humane Society for a couple of hours and then to Weight Watchers. My friend Lynn and I try so hard to stay on program. Both of us have reached goal in the past. The school year took it's toll on both of us both mentally and physically. She's going back for another year, I retired again.
Guess it's time to let Tobie in and hit the sack. Hope to have a small ornament to share tomorrow.

Another Hot One

I just put the last stitch in my tin topper exchange piece. Now I have to finish it. That's an early morning project while it's still relatively cool.

Did some more volunteer hours in the Humane Society shelter today. No one adopted any of our dear dogs or cats. Guess it is too hot for adoptions too. One gentleman (?) did try to get us to take a diseased dog off his hands. We had to decline knowing full well the fate of the dog.

I spent the good part of an hour searching for my Elan frame in the ROOM. The room's neater, but no Elan. My friend Karen called on the telephone while I was searching. As soon as I sat down and answered the phone I remembered where it was. Right next to my stitching chair in the living room. Too much "stuff" and not enough room. Oh, one of these days.

Shelter Day

A little stitching this evening. It's almost too hot to do anything. Today I worked the Humane Society shelter. The sweetest little pomeranian mix came in. She had all the volunteers and customers eating out of her hand by the end of the day. I adopted my cat, Tobie, from the shelter. I've posted a picture and tried to crop all the clutter out of it. He seldom sits still long enough for me to get a decent shot. All of our animals are posted at Petfinder if you'd like to take a look. www.okmulgee.petfinder.com My stitching is calling from the other room. I must answer!
