Some Exchange Updates
4 October 2006
Greetings from the midnight to eight shift! As I mentioned in my last post, I am working part-time for my dad while I am waiting to get a library job. My dad is a deputy sheriff in Small County Iowa and I am dispatching for them part-time. This shift is pretty quiet, so I imagine this will not be my last post from the sheriff’s office. 
Anyway, I just realized that I have yet to post a picture of the needleroll exchange that I received from Christine last week. I love this little needleroll and can’t wait until I get my own place so that I can display my ever-growing needleroll collection.
Today (OK, technically yesterday) I got my Crazy Cat Lady Exchange from Judith. As you can see, she stitched me a Britty Kitties design and made it into a little flat-fold. (If you look closely at the top right-hand corner of the picture you can see Scooter checking out my CCLE.)
Judith also included some goodies: Two skeins of Gloriana silk! This is my first silk thread and I have to say that I am having so much fun fondling it that I am not sure if I want to stitch with it! 
I have been working on my square for Mylene’s round robin and am getting pretty close to finishing it. However, today I was in the mood to stitch something else, so I finally got my act together and started my scissor fob exchange. Since it is a fob, it is a small design and I was able to finish the stitching today… Now I just have to put the fob itself together.
I brought my stitching with me tonight so after I finish up here I will probably pull it out and work on Mylene’s robin while I wait for something to happen… Even though I hope nothing actually does.
