Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
A dear friend of mine is going to be a
grandmother. She wants the child to
refer to her as “Your Highness.” Another
friend became a grandmother earlier this past week. And another friend has recently become a
grandmother for the second time. Cajun Stitchery better start getting baby
stuff in stock.
One of my friends has given me a baby blanket to
embroider for her new grandson. I’ve
been playing around with ideas for the monogram. She was so sweet and told me that it was up
to me what I embroidered and how, but I still check with her. You never know if something that you think
looks great may be something someone else doesn’t like.
Around 9 a.m. one morning this week the phone
rang. It was a lady who wanted some
monograms on napkins. It turned out that
she and her husband recently moved to Pensacola
from Arizona
One interesting project this week was a clock
face. I wanted to change out the clock
face on one of Mama’s wall clocks with an embroidered clock face with sewing
notion designs. The embroidery turned
out really nice. George took off the
cover of the clock and the second, minute and hour hands. The new clock face fit perfectly inside the
frame. Then George went to reinstall the 3 hands. Well, that didn’t work so we began learning
about clocks. George is going out this
week to get a new clock mechanism and we will finish the clock. It was fun looking through all of the clock
face embroidery designs that we have and learning how to put clocks together. There is another clock of Mama’s that I’m
thinking about embroidering a clock face and replacing the old. Who knows, we may be able to start selling
embroidered clocks. Just imagine a clock
face with your monogram; or, we could embroider baby designs for a clock in a
baby’s nursery.
We were laughing this week because I must really
be getting old. I noticed a box in the
master bedroom and went to see what was in it.
When I entered the room, I noticed some ball caps on the bed. I then picked up the ball caps to photograph
them and list them on Etsy. I walked out
of the master bedroom and as I passed the cutting room, I went in there because
I had begun a project of making the horse embroideries into placemats. I saw in the trash basket a couple of pair of
scissors that were dull and picked them up to take outside to use for
gardening. As I walked through the
kitchen, I noticed that I had earlier started to make myself a cup of coffee. So, I made the coffee and went outside with
the scissors. We laughed because I’ve
read this joke on Facebook only this was my life and not a joke.
Thank you to everyone who so kindly replied to
last week’s Cajun Corner concerned about Evie.
The very next day she awoke just fine and has been her usual Evie
since. I guess she just had a bad day.
Have a wonderful week.

Memorial
Day was declared a federal holiday
in 1971. We now, designate this day to remember loved ones who have passed on,
as well as remembering our service men and women. Flowers and flags are placed
on graves in remembrance of them. Parades and dedications of memorials usually
are part of the day's activities. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, local marching
bands, members of the armed service, fire departments, police departments, and
fraternal orders often march in parades and attend ceremonies to commemorate
the day.
