Yesterday, I was two-thirds through an embroidery design when the needle broke. After changing the needle, I tried to continue the design. It was in the wrong place. I could not think how that happened. I pulled out the stitches and started it again. The same thing happened. What the h**l! I did it all over again with no luck. What was wrong? I did everything that I could think of. I finally turned it off and finished making supper. I had that chicken to contend with. Around 5AM, I woke up. While taking care of the call of the wild, I remembered what I forgot to do. This afternoon, I finished the design and all it took was two clicks to recalibrate it. I really do know better than that. It is something that I have had to do on occasion. Where was my brain?
I decided to try something new for dessert tomorrow. It’s called strawberry meringue cake. I made the cake part this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, I’ll make the strawberry whipped cream. The cake certainly looks interesting.
My grandson is not happy with the picture that I put up of him so here is another one.
How’s this, Kevin?
Elvis has his own chair.
Where’s Zippo, you say? He had work to do.
Somebody has got to watch the printer.
I found this cute heart and some little flowers. Maybe I’ll add another cat or two.
So I guess I’ll go cut the binding if Zip is done with it.
You should have seen the look on his face when he saw her. She purrs and talks and likes to be petted. Here is a better picture of her. Just don’t look at the rest of the room. We are in the process of clearing it out.
She looks a lot like Elvis’s Mom, Hooter. We got her from the same pound when Win was three years old. She died just a few years ago. Maybe that’s why he latched on to her so quickly. He is calling her Biscuit. He said, “It just came to me. I like biscuits”. He really does. Last time I came, I brought some leftover chicken pot pie with four extra biscuits. They were gone as soon as he found them. I’m so glad he is happy with her. I wish that I had found something. I stopped at PetSmart after knitting group, but I didn’t see anything.
Would you believe that I am related to this person?
Pretty, huh?
Ready to sew together.
It’s kind of lumpy.
The borders are on. Now I have to cut out and applique the hearts. That’s my favorite part. I like to embellish. I also want to embroider a label. I think I have a cat one somewhere. I may also embroider some more hearts and flowers. And, to think, I actually managed to take all these pictures without any cats.
Time to go.
