The robe orders were completed last week. They really turned out nice.
Remember the mystery of the gnomes? One of our friends finally confessed that she
is the gnominator. Since I missed giving
her a birthday present, a nice tee shirt with “I am the gnominator” was
embroidered with a red and green gnome on the top. She received her gift today and loved it.
I had received an adorable gnome but I didn’t
tell anyone for a long time. George and
I decided that if I don’t say anything it might flush out the real
gnominator. After all was said and done,
it turned out that a couple of other girls were trying to flush out the
gnominator and they actually gave the Saints gnomes to another friend. They told me that their next step was going
to be stealing the gnomes from people’s homes.
Luckily, they didn’t have to go that far before we found out the true
identity. Today I found out that
although the one was the ringleader, there were several devious accomplices to
the gnome antics. Oh what a fun summer
we had trying to figure out the mystery.
Thanksgiving was quiet around here. I did the usual turkey dinner cooking and we
have eaten off of that for about 4 days now.
I don’t plan on cooking again until Christmas. Well, there are the 2 parties where I
promised to make cherries in the snow, again.
I think I’ll drink something containing alcohol while I’m cooking so I
don’t get so stressed over it all.
The studio is decorated for Christmas. At least the front room is decorated and
looking good. There are lots of tee
shirts, towels and all sorts of stuff that we sell on display in the front
room. The working rooms are looking like
Santa’s workshop.
We have sold a lot of fleur de lis items. As soon as they are sold, I’m at the machine
making more. The handkerchiefs just
floor me but I love making them and people love buying them.
This has got to be a banner year for the Etsy
store. Although people purchase a
variety of items from the store, by far the biggest sellers are the
handkerchiefs.
Gosh, this season we have embroidered robes,
kitchen towels, pot holders, aprons, towels, tee shirts, polo shirts and
tomorrow a customer is coming in to have Christmas stockings monogrammed. Oh yes, I’ve embroidered another chef’s hat.
In the meantime, another mask for glasses design,
a turtle, has been created. That makes
three designs for the mask. Now I need
to make lots and lots of each design and sell them.
My new friend at The Mardi Gras Store in Pensacola
“Krewe
parties! We book krewes for a meeting or party at our facility. We provide
light Hors d'Oeuvres and mixers, and they provide their own adult beverages.
Then they have special pricing while they shop at our store! We'll hold for
pickup or delivery, or you can cash and carry like anywhere else! We also offer
layaway to krewe members.”
I would love for the Nereids to do this and see
what is available locally. It is time
that Pensacola
Today was our annual SOB Brunch at Flounders on Pensacola Beach

Thank you Bob for the following:
Four best friends met at the hospital since their wives were giving births to their babies. The nurse comes up to the first man and says, "Congratulations, you got twins." The man said "How strange, I'm the manager of Minnesota Twins." After awhile the nurse comes up to the second man and says, "Congratulations, you got triplets." Man was like "Hmmm, strange I worked as a director for the "3 Musketeers." Finally, the nurse comes up to the third man and says Congratulations, you got twins x2." Man is happy and says, "Ironic, I work for the hotel "4 Seasons." All three of them are happy until they see their last buddy jumping all over the place, cursing God and banging his head on the wall. They asked him what's wrong and he answered, "What's wrong? "I work for 7up!"
Also from Bob:
There were two guys working for the city. One would dig a hole - he would dig, dig, dig. The other would come behind him and fill the hole - fill, fill, fill. These two men worked furiously; one digging a hole, the other filling it up again. A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally he had to ask them. He said to the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!" The hole digger replied, "Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants the trees is sick today."
