George has been working with Boudreaux
lately. Now that we have Clothilde, I
rarely work with Boudreaux, unless I need to use some of Boudreaux’s
hoops. Boudreaux has a greater variety
of hoops than Clothilde. As time goes by,
and money comes in, we’ll get more hoops for Clothilde but for now Clothilde
has the biggest hoops and Boudreaux has the largest variety of hoops. Nevertheless, George had stopped embroidering
when he went next door to remodel the house.
He’s back in the saddle, again.
He is definitely my hat guy but can do it all on the embroidery
machine.
It turns out that Clothilde embroiders on
structured hats better than Boudreaux.
When we first began embroidery on hats and caps, we simply couldn’t get
Boudreaux to stitch on structured hats.
We read periodicals saying that different machines embroider better on
various types of head wear. That must be
true because Clothilde does fine with structured hats. The problem is that Clothilde has to stop all
of her beautiful “couture” embroidery to do the hats. Some day we will replace Boudreaux with an
Amaya but that is way down the road.
A local pastor contacted us requesting embroidery
on his robe. The digitizing was done and
he brought the robe over for embroidery right before Hurricane Isaac. As he was leaving, he asked if we were
prepared for the storm. I told him that
I prayed the then tropical storm would go someplace else and not hit Pensacola
Speaking of Isaac, I was very happy that my
friends and family in New Orleans and SW Louisiana were not hurt by the storm. The ones I’ve been in touch with told me that
they never lost electricity but did gain a houseful of guests who had lost
electricity and utilities.
As I said, we just got wind gusts and some
rain. The wind did clean out the
trees. Sammy, the 70 pound, 8 month old
puppy, must have thought it was Christmas.
He is a retriever, after all. As
the branches would fall from the trees, he was running around retrieving all of
the limbs. George said it would have
been nice if he had then stacked them all together, but such was not the
case. Sam has played with tree branches
all week, just running around with branches in his mouth. He is a bit perplexed about a large palm
frond that fell. He tried carrying it
around but it was just too big.
This November I turn 62 years old. I have debated all year whether or not to
apply for early Social Security. Cajun
Stitchery is three and a half years old and doing well for three and a half
years. After vexing over this, I
decided to go ahead and apply. I did the
entire thing online. Now I have to make
an appointment with our local Social Security people and bring them my
certified birth certificate, and then it is done. Wow!
It is just amazing to think that I have reached this age. Does this mean that I am now old and
wise?
Next Sunday the Mystic Krewe of Nereids will be
hosting our annual Splash Party at Paradise Bar & Grill on Pensacola Beach
Cajun Stitchery has embroidered krewe tee shits
for the Splash Party. Just look for the
girls in the California Blue tee shirts.
That will be us.
Have a wonderful week.
HAPPY LABOR DAY
