She bought 2 of my son some more lead soldiers for their collections so maybe that is the trouble. My eldest son has a nice collection that I started when he was little and then MS has added to whenever she has gone to England. They look lovely on his bookshelves in his unit.<BR/>My Fathers family were Master Tanners up until 1984 when my Dad and Sister were run over on Christmas Eve. My Dad had to retire then as he could no longer do that kind of work and also going through the windscreen of the car didn't help. It was a business where 5 generations worked in. After Dad's accident my Uncle worked for awhile in another Tannery and then he to retired. My Dad was 54. His Dad worked there till he was about 84.<BR/>Still looks like another nice day here although I think we are going to get some more cold weather.<BR/>Don't say anymore about the cost of petrol. We are currently paying around $1.75 a litre. I can remember when we first went to litres that it was around 15cents. Ah memories, or I should say I shouldn't go there as I'm showing my age LOL. - Sandra.samplerloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963651957114053583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18201870.post-38393455834360426042008-07-15T23:08:00.000-04:002008-07-15T23:08:00.000-04:00Hi Judy,Just catching up with my blogging.

Should look lovely when its finished.<BR/>I know the feeling about starting something and go your at it like a bull at a gate and then as you go along the feeling dies. I usually start thinking about what I am going to do next.<BR/>It's a lovely day here today. I just went to pick my son up from work and there are pilgrims everywhere. <BR/>They are all out here at the moment with the Pope for the World Youth Conference. I think a lot of them have come up here for the day. There are tourist buses EVERYWHERE. Oh well that's what I get for living in a tourist area LOL. - Sandra.samplerloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963651957114053583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18201870.post-57201919138853999682008-07-15T10:16:00.000-04:002008-07-15T10:16:00.000-04:00You nailed it.

I'd just finished saying the same thing to my DH. I went great guns when I first started my PS piece and now I'm so close to a finish but can't seem to move along much.<BR/>Your City Gardens piece is lovely. Who's the designer on this one? The colours are so pretty.<BR/><BR/>I've never been that close to a hummingbird. We get a few around here but I haven't seen any this year. <BR/>I've made a date with a friend to see Mama Mia as soon as it's out.

That seems to be part of the stitching passion for me ~ collecting! I doubt I could ever finish all the charts I now have in my collection. <BR/><BR/>We saw the live production of Mama Mia - wasn't it fun!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194880509630916177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18201870.post-75476004937624630372008-07-14T11:57:00.000-04:002008-07-14T11:57:00.000-04:00Great stash!!!

Their site is down right now I think, but as far as I know they're still around. The site was muskokabayframes.com They make frames very similar to the one in the pic, in various sizes. And from what I hear they're great service-wise.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620626706025824486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18201870.post-73969559541534341432008-07-14T11:42:00.000-04:002008-07-14T11:42:00.000-04:00Look at all that great new stash!

I ...You have made a great start on your new piece. I agree with you on that new starts do seem to move along quicker. It probably is partly as more time is going into them, but also with so much more blank fabric each stitch is so much more obvious.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get to the store soon for the DMC, there is nothing worse than being all set to stitch a section and not having the floss. Love your new stash too, what fun patterns, you're going to be quite busy.<BR/><BR/>Needlework Shop is great, and will go wonderfully with Tea Shop. On the LHN board several people have mentioned creating a street of shops (Tea Shop, Needlework Shop, Boutique, etc..)I think that would be fun. As to Mama Mia, it opens here next Friday too, and I can't wait. I also love ABBA's music, think Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan will be fun to see, and throughly enjoyed the musical when it was in our city. What a fun outing to look forward too.<BR/>Suestitcherwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795367484568298951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18201870.post-55155945154183520952008-07-13T15:23:00.000-04:002008-07-13T15:23:00.000-04:00Mama Mia looks like a great film to me, too. I hop...Mama Mia looks like a great film to me, too. I hope you'll enjoy it. <BR/><BR/>I think your progress on your WIP looks great. And Kathy's suggestion for a better scan on your threads is exactly what I was going to say. ;) <BR/><BR/>The hummer experience sounds heavenly. We have a lot of blackbirds, larks, and magpies as well as the less popular jackdaws. The blackbirds are pretty cute, but they can't compare to a hummingbird.mainely stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915498269348257624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18201870.post-54317480748805439432008-07-13T13:31:00.000-04:002008-07-13T13:31:00.000-04:00Great progress on your new piece.

Try a dark piece of fabric or paper behind the threads on the scanner. We seem to be missing all the storms.
