Hey, Friends!
Please accept my apology to anyone who has tried to leave a comment but was not able to. I hope the issue has cleared up. Blogger says they’re ‘working on it.’ I don’t know why it happens to some and not others. They suggest clearing History and logging off and back in. I’ve tried that and some other suggestions from friends, so hopefully it will allow now. I’ve gotten a few, but don’t know if they’re just persistent, or if it is really fixed.
After starting the Mystery Sampler: Birds of a Feather last week, I realized that I had miscounted and the fabric was not wide enough. After frogging two sides of the border, I’ve started over on 36ct Lakeside Lentil. I really think it is pretty …
I was able to go to the PALS get together in Manning at The French Hen’s yesterday, and I had a great time. It seemed like everyone did! For the first time, I wasn’t one of the last to get there! There was a bit of surprise on a few faces, too!

Amy, Down Sunshine Lane, had a few new goodies from Lady Dot, so I got a heart shaped pincushion and some darling little acorns, too. 
Four of the girls had a Friendship RR-SAL and they delivered their pieces to each other, and they really did a great job on them. You may be able to learn more about it on their blog: Amy, Faye, Karen, and Nicole.
Getting this shot wasn't the easiest...

Donna, Faye, Nicole, Deborah Y'all know I'm teasing; right? |
There was some sad news at the gathering - Hildit and William's house burned. They are both safe and did have insurance, so that task is before them, now. I believe they lost most everything, including a vehicle and several pets.
We had a new moon this week, so here’s my TuSAL for June, 2011. This is the fourth time I’ve used these clear, glass ornies to collect my orts, and this one seems to roll and compact the threads more than any of the others. Hmmm. Reminder: TuSAL is in the side bar this year à
Thanks for stopping by, and if you can leave a comment, I will certainly appreciate it. I'll be making a few stops myself in a few minutes!
PeaceëLoveëJoy
