The Christmas orders are arriving. If you have any Christmas orders to place, do
it soon.
I finished the BELIEVE sign for the front
room. It looks pretty good except the
font that I choose has an I that looks like a J and I’m not crazy about the V,
either. All in all I really like it.
Mermaids are always the topic around here. While designing Mardi Gras masks, I decided
that we must have a mermaid mask. I took
a mermaid design and did an outline and made it fit the mask form. It was pretty but too tall and the outline of
the upper half just didn’t look like a mermaid.
Then I tried a different mermaid and a different tail. That one looked better but needed more
definition with the hair. Once the hair
was changed the design looked good but there were tweaks here and there that
needed to be done. I am still tweaking
it, but I do think it is looking much better.
This week was going to be Santa Sack week. Remember the Santa Sacks that I described
that Mama made for Nancy and me? No one
seems to know what they are. After a
search on the internet it appears that these sacks are very popular in Europe
and Australia but not in the
USA
I have ordered some more red and green tea
towels, which should arrive in the next week or two. If you are interested in festive or even
monogrammed towels, let me know. We also
have black and white tea towels. The
black tea towels with the gold fleur de lis are always a good idea for your
local Saints fan.
The last black flannel scarf with the gold fleur
de lis was sold this past week. We are
now out of the black flannel fabric but I’m sure we could find more if anyone
wanted one. However, flannel may be a
bit heavy for this climate. The scarf
can always be constructed from a lighter black fabric.
HAVE A NICE WEEK

Thank you Bob for the following:
Two
gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were
out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the
end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house a
woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her
gas meter. Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his
younger coworker to a foot race down the alley back to the truck to prove that
an older guy could outrun a younger one. As they came running up to the truck,
they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right
behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong. Gasping for breath, she
replied, "When I see two gas men running as hard as you two were, I
figured I'd better run too!"
A
visitor from Holland was chatting with his
American friend and was jokingly explaining about the red, white and blue in
the Netherlands
Little Billy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through
Thanks,
Billy
