How fun is this? a color party put on by Bedecked and Bedazzled. So what’s a color party all about?

A fun selection of threads, crystals and beads that arrive in your mailbox every month. New threads, exciting threads and beads that are brought together by color. This was our first month…pink, and look at those wonderful Miyuki beads!

We’ve had pink, green, purple, yellow, blue, orange, red and now white with such wonderful choices as Miyuki drop beads, Gloriana, Belle Soie, Gumnuts, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, sequins, Treenway Silks, Soie d’Alger, Rainbow Threads, Soie Perlee and so much more.

Ruth always adds her special touches, such as the threads presented in a color co-ordinated draw string bag and a crossword puzzled written around our threads. I was thinking that this was our last month, but there is 1 more yet! She is talking about continuing this into a new “seasonal” color party. You know, Halloween, Fall, etc…

It’s been a good baseball week, but on the other hand, yet a tough baseball week. Great ball as teams try to win those last few wild card spots and that might not be decided up until the last minute…or they might even need a playoff game (or what they call a play in game) to determine who gets to go to the playoffs.

The tough part has been saying goodbye to great players that are retiring such as Mark Kotsay of the San Diego Padres, Todd Helton of the Colorado Rockies and of course as the Sandman, Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees, exits. Quite a sendoff last night at Yankee stadium and I guarantee you, there was not a dry eye in the house…in any house, including mine.

One of my favorite movies A League of Their Own, Tom Hanks has this great scene “There’s no crying in baseball” but for this night, just this once…there can be crying in baseball.

This is what I go through more often than not…

Somebody’s keeping my spot warm! and until next time…keep on stitching
