More Embroidery


I now have all my Christmas decorations down and put away except for my tree.  I will get to that eventually.  I am still working on Jana’s t-shirts and sweatshirts.  We went shopping for new t-shirts because she didn’t like two of the others she had.  We embroidered one with the four chihuahuas like we put on the one sweatshirt.  The other one is called a woodland scene.  We also embroidered a t-shirt with a dog and two cats on a scooter.   We also embroidered a sweatshirt with a butterfly. They all turned out nice.  We had embroidered one with the state of Ohio bird which she didn’t really care for so we bought a different colored t-shirt and tried again.  It would have been great except I screwed it up and now I will be buying her a new t-shirt and will try again.  We still have two sweatshirts to go.





Brian and Tracy are here for the weekend.  They got in about three o’clock this morning.  Of course, Brian and Kevin are already fishing.  We could have some rain tonight, but the worse is supposed to come tomorrow.  We are in a level three situation where we could have extreme wind, up to five inches of rain and tornadoes. Brian and Tracy along with Kevin and Renea were supposed to go camping at Uchee Creek campground and do a lot of fishing, but because of the bad weather it was decided they would just stay and visit at Kevin’s.  Just another weekend in Alabama. 

I went to Opelika Sewing for my first class in digitizing.  They didn’t tell me I needed a special program.  When I arrived they explained it to me.  I said okay, and I thought I would buy it then.  That is until I heard the price.  $1,800!!!!!  Needless to say, I didn’t buy the program and have cancelled my other class.  The other class I signed up for which was a software program would have cost me $4,000 so I cancelled those classes also.  I will continue to use You Tube.  I did, however, keep my quilting class.  I seem to have everything I need for that one.

Monday I went to my nephrologist for my six month appointment.  He told me to keep doing what I am doing because everything was fine.  I go back in six months.

Jana and I decided to take a class at St. Patrick’s church.  They have been having these monthly classes, and we thought we would give them a try. They are held on Tuesday evenings.  This month is about the Gospel of St. John.  We attended the first class on Tuesday evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  We even learned something that first night.  Father Dave actually gave us “homework.”  Almost like being back in school.

Wednesday we went shopping at Walmart for t-shirts, had lunch at Applebee’s (which was very good) and stopped at Winn Dixie. 

Thursday most of the day was spent embroidering.  Not sure what all we will be doing today.

Love, love those designs! Definitely don't love those prices of the programs. That's ridiculous. Glad you are going to some classes at church. We learn so much after we are adults...they didn't teach us this stuff when we were in school. Last night Herb and I went to our Bible Study class. We are about to begin reading Exodus, so the first two Thursdays for prep, we are watching The Ten Commandments. Enjoyed the popcorn as well. Haha

I LOVE your shirts! You should take orders, I will send you my requests! Those classes seem to be priced for the professional. So glad you and Nana are having a good winter. Always worry when I see had weather reports for your area. Please keep blogging. I love reading what you are up too. Debbie F
