Why?

 What is it about this sampler that has set my stitching mojo into high gear?  I came home from carole's after a long afternoon. We had sandwiches from a new to us restaurant, highly recommended from friends who obviously never had a good sandwich.  Take out of course.   If it wasn't for four calls afterward that kept snapping me out of a stupor, I would have been sleeping by 8.   I slid my stitching station to the sofa and planned to just check the chart's middle pages before bed.  Next thing I knew, four rows were stitched.


This morning, I went to the sofa to retrieve the station, and saw this.   Oh no.  Missy, who has not been outside in months, has tapeworm!!  Once back to my chair, she left them there too!  That much?  One night?  And good grief how did they get into the microwave!  Oh.  It seems my home made heat wrap is leaking rice.  Made years ago, time to replace.

 Hope your day is fine and dandy.

Good grief...I was in high freak-out mode LOL. I could only wish it were my stitching or hooking mojo. ~Robin~

YIKES! MAJOR FREAK-OUT MODE! Don't think I've ever had a post of yours give me shivers! So relived to learn those white spots were just rice fragments! (Just had another shiver as I was typing this brief note.)

Your new stitching project is zooming along. Can't wait to see your finish. Have an easy-going (hopefully) weekend.

Thank goodnesss that was just rice! You are really making short work of stitching that sampler. It doesn't seem to be giving much trouble. Enjoy your stitching.

I'm glad it was rice bits, not tapeworm bits!
I have no idea why one project is pulling teeth to work on, another makes me want to ignore all else to work on. Maybe it's not the project, but what the "all else" is that I'm not wanting to deal with? Little Dutch is looking good.

I laughed when I read about the rice. So glad your little 9ne is worm free.

Ha! I'm so relieved it wasn't tapeworm. We dealt with that with our cat (who often went exploring outside!) and it was just plain gross. I really like how this sweet sampler is coming together, Marly--so good you can work on it in between calls and visiting/doing things for Carole. Hope your Sunday is a relaxing one! ♥
