The Christmas orders are arriving. If you have any Christmas orders to place, do
it soon.
We just finished embroidery on some nice big
towels. The names are 3” tall. There are a few orders for robes which should
be completed this week. Then we have
aprons and jackets. In the meantime, we
are working on a quote for some satin jackets.
The biggest news is receiving the first order for
the Mardi Gras mask for glasses. Mardi
Gras is just around the corner. The
butterfly masks are $15. If you want
krewe masks, please let me know right away since they have to be designed
before stitching can occur.
I did make a Santa Sack today. It still needs to be embroidered. The sack wasn’t too hard to make. How hard could a sack be? What took time was deciding to have a cuff
around the top and designing that. The
designing is always the time consuming element.
Obviously, this is going to be a short week. On top of that I am cooking for Thanksgiving,
which translates into I will be cooking and not working on Wednesday. However, on Black Friday I am not leaving the
house to get into the craziness. I will
probably be working on Friday. Sometime
this week I have to get to the bank and sign some papers and that sort of
stuff.
The red and green tea towels with the fringe
arrived and are ready for orders. We
also have black, white, and purple tea towels.
More handkerchiefs were purchased from our Etsy
store this week. I use cloth
handkerchiefs and I love them. It still
amazes me that people buy them. That is
a pleasant amazement, however. Some of
the hankies are priced pretty high but those entail a lot of work because the
lace is actually made and attached on the embroidery machine. Other hankies are simple to make and very
reasonably priced, especially our all time best seller “You Have A Booger”
hanky for merely $10.
HAVE A happy thanksgiving

Thank you Bob for the following:
An
When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address, he did his best to type it in from memory.
Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
DEAREST WIFE: "JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW. P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE."
Another joke from Bob:
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm over worked. The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.
