It has been another busy week. The huge headboard embroidery design is
finished. I am very proud of that
project. Now I am repeating the same
project for the same client. This time
the embroidery not only includes multiple hoopings, and puff embroidery, but
also some metallic thread. It is the
most beautiful project that I have worked on so far. Sorry, I cannot share photos of the project
at this time. This project has
definitely built up my confidence as a professional embroiderer.
Remember earlier that I said that I planned
eventually on George handling not only the hats and caps, but the regular
day-to-day logo type embroidery. We are
at that point now. George is brushing up
his skills, learning some new skills, and is back at the embroidery machine,
Boudreaux, stitching out those orders.
In the meantime, as George says, I am working on the haute couture
embroidery. I call it my Tiffany
embroidery. Soon I hope to be able to
move into larger quarters because we have run out of room in our little studio.
Today I was very tired and George insisted that I
take the day off. So, what do you do on
your day off? My hobby and passion is
embroidery. I spent the day on the
computer posting photographs of our embroidery on Facebook. It initiated some good conversations and I
even got an order. I think the people on
Facebook will be happy that I have now stopped posting – at least, for awhile.
This year we have bell peppers all over the
garden and not one of our chili pepper plants has grown. How funny is that? Especially when you consider that last year
we had so many chili peppers that we kept ourselves and a local restaurant
stocked. This seems to be the year of
the ginger. Not necessarily edible
ginger, but ginger plants. We have all
kinds of ginger plants – including the edible ones. They are beautiful plants. Some we don’t even know how they got in our
garden.
The tomato plants are in the garden and they are
huge but so far all we have are 2 cherry size tomatoes. I sure hope the beefsteak tomatoes start
producing soon.
Beans are also doing well in the garden, although
nothing like last year. We didn’t plant
nearly as many beans this year.
George did, intentionally, turn over a bucket of
sweet potatoes to see if we have any. He
got a handful of little sweet potatoes.
I guess we will leave the other bucket alone for now. Anyone know when we are supposed to dig those
things up? I think we will be replanting
these little sweet potatoes that George harvested.
We planted horseradish, again. It is already growing. Can’t wait for the taste of fresh
horseradish.
We did monogram a little boy’s jacket this
week. Imagine a Blue Angel’s jacket in
miniature. It is the most adorable
thing. It is for a friend’s grandson. You did good, Gram.
Hopefully this week we will get our new
dishwasher. This washing dishes by hand
is getting old.
The Nereids Splash Party was wonderful. Everyone was soaked and everyone had a great
time.
Have a
wonderful week.

STARS
|
|
a poem by Robert Frost
HOW countlessly they congregate
O'er our tumultuous snow,
Which flows in shapes as tall as trees
When wintry winds do blow!--
As if with keenness for our fate,
Our faltering few steps on
To white rest, and a place of rest
Invisible at dawn,--
And yet with neither love nor hate,
Those stars like some snow-white
Minerva's snow-white marble eyes
Without the gift of sight.
