Something Wicked...

I was trying to think of a fast way to do towels for the kitchen and bath this morning...

While I thought, I stitched a bit on the rug for the bedroom... Sooner or later it will be finished.  I just keep plugging along on it.

Then Tessie had a brilliant idea.  She threw the rug down and started rummaging through the cross stitch drawers...

When she stopped, she had found the start of six other projects... I am notorious for starting things and then shoving them in the drawers to be finished later...

These were starts of various borders for rugs and even one for a full sized sampler...

She shoved them under my nose and said, "Are you ever going to finish any of these?" 

I sheepishly answered..."Probably not..."

Continuing, she said, "OK.  Make towels!  You don't need more starts for rugs and other projects, but Daisy needs towels!" 

She is right.   I shall coat the edges with white glue on the back, before I cut them and I will have quite a few new towels.  I won't even miss the rugs or whatever they were going to be...

As I got to work, she dug around a bit more and found this...

She grabbed a needle and finished the three French knots at the end and as she did she said, "I think that you need a new purse patch... Finish this and sew it to the side of one of your purses... I do believe it is only fair to warn people that you are coming..."

With that, she disappeared in a puff of smoke and I could hear mad laughter coming  from further and further away...Then it disappeared altogether...

I don't think that it is me that needs the purse with a patch... But I couldn't catch her to pin it to her skirt. 

People be warned!  Tessie is on the loose again!

See you tomorrow.
