I think the boys have reached their breaking point!

Duma:  Bronk – can you believe the mess she leaves for us to deal with?????  I think it’s time for the Evil Eye

 

Carolyn sent me this message yesterday.  I was very pleased and interested in her  in her results!  Thank you Carolyn!

Good afternoon, Suz…I have to tell someone and you are the only person who would know what I am talking about. I recently signed up for a class at my local shop to make the OESD Christmas Village. The first class was Monday and not much was going well. My machine wouldn’t accept the designs, the bobbins weren’t winding well (had to use same thread top and bottom). I was using a Brother NV1600 embroidery only machine, certainly not top of the line but more than sufficient to take to class. So here is where you come in. When I got home, things got worse…I did all the usual…checked the bobbin case, wound the bobbins on a separate device (which I could regulate speed and tension), changed the needle, slowed the stitching speed, checked the plate, etc. After the machine ate the project 2/3 way through 32000 stitches, I went looking for different thread. I found a cone of Admelody that was almost the same color. I ditched the first attempt and started all over this morning. Now, you know how old that thread has to be, but GUESS WHAT!!! Not a hiccup, bump, or pause…only when the bobbin ran low. The designs are stitching beautifully,  my blood pressure has returned to normal and the air has cleared. I am so excited and now looking forward to completing the project. Thank you for having such quality products as well as your designs. You have made my day. The color I am using is 226 and it looks like BFC 2168 is the right one to get, as I am sure I will need more that I have. Thanks again, Carolyn Kenngott Have a great day!!!

I was trying to get a quilt sample made this morning and didn’t have a lot of time.  So Duma must have realized I needed help!  He’s such a BIG help….

I always have to laugh because he gets so serious when he *helps*

 

 

Bronk especially hates to be picked up. Getting him to the vet when necessary is a horrible ordeal.  The Vet suggested we put the carrier down and let them get used to it.  I think they’ve gotten used to it!  This is a normal size carrier for a regular smaller cat.  I don’t know how they’ve managed to stuff their combined 36 pounds in there.  LOL

At first I thought the paw sticking out belonged to Bronk (whose face you see) but that is Duma’s.  I know cats like warm spots, but it’s 87 degrees out today  it has to be really hot in that carrier  LOL

I’ve always loved unusual looking animals, birds – any wildlife.  I came across these two photos.  The first is of Nubian vultures but I can’t find  out what the second one is.  I would love to know!  I have this awful feeling I want to make designs of both of these critters.  No one might buy them, but they would sure be fun to do!  I can see these on backs of jackets – imagine the looks going on behind you!

I did some searching and found another photo of this bird – but again, it doesn’t say what it is!  LOL

FOUND IT! – and you were close Donnely, a Reddish Egret (Egretta Rufescens)

I keep getting more and more spam emails from people I recognize.  PLEASE – be sure to periodically change your passwords.  If they can get in to use your email, the next things they do might be more sinister.  PLEASE… for your protection and the protection of your friends.

Rick and I each have our favorite couches in the living room for TV watching.  When I came down for some lunch and a quick TV show this is what greeted me:

Bronk looked up at the camera – Duma is the guy doing the hugging.  Needless to say, I had lunch in the chair.  LOL LOL
