How Did I Miss Thee?

Posted on by

Let me count the ways… Wow it has been way too long and I am soooooooooo sorry! I hope that you really did miss me as much as I missed blogging.

But my not being able to blog pales into comparison to the challenges left behind from the wrath of Sandy. My family in upstate NY was not effected too much and they are all safe and sound. Now my thoughts are with my stitching friends in the Northeast, I hope that you are too. Annie, Sharon G, Tony Minieri, Karen Milano, Nimble Needle, Fireside Stitchery, Edwardian Needle, Rittenhouse, Rita’s, Needles and Threads of Ruxton, The Enriched Stitch, Ridgewood and everybody else that I might have overlooked…I hope you and yours are ok too. My heart breaks for all without power, without gasoline, without the bare necessities of life and for property and treasures lost.

Let’s see I missed National Beer Day on October 27th, National Chocolate Day on October 28th and National Cat Day on October 29th… trust me, the feline deinizens of this household will never ever forgive me! Halloween and Dia de los Muertes just flew by.

The annual seminar of the Emborider’s Guild of America is going on in Sante Fe, NM and I am so looking forward to hearing all about it from all who are there.

So you are wondering what I have been doing with myself lately? Classes with Tony Minieri in Denver, Colorado where I was greeted with SNOW for the 2nd year in a row! Back home to 80 degree temperatures and hanging out with Brenda Hart for a few days. No classes, just chillin’ and talking stitches. Finished up with a few days at A Stitch in Time with the “Divine Miiss M.” In case you are wondering, that would be Meredith Willett of the Fab Four fame.

Speaking of the Fab Four…have you signed up for their class that is being there next year at A Stitch in Time? Trust me, you don’t want to miss this! There are only a few spots left, so it is sort of like shopping at Costco…don’t wait too long as you don’t want to miss out! If you have been thinking about it, call! call! call! 626-793-5217

As for my unexplained absence? well lets just say that somebody or more than one someone compromised the blog and…oh well the details are not important now. Let’s just say that mostlyneedlepoint has moved to a different server and hopefully will be totally back to normal. I look forward to bigger and better things and not being bothered by these technical challenges again!

I am home now and have lots to keep my out of mischief! Stitch guides for Needlepoint Now, stitching for NeedleDeeva, Raymond Crawford and Kirk & Hamilton… stitch guides of my own to write and edit. Then there’s the laundry, grocery shopping, errands and putting away the Halloween decorations. There is no rest for me!

Sylvester is guarding the thread stash, or is it his bag that he wants? and until next time…keep on stitching

  2. So good to see the blog functioning again. You have no idea how hard it is to start my day without Alley Cat! No offense intended toward Sylvester, but he’s so well behaved …

  11. Hmmm…the blog was compromised by “somebody or more than one somebody,” eh? A-HAH! It was THE CATS, WASN’T IT!!! I think you might need to use a more sophisticated log-in system, ideally one that strongly depends upon the use of opposable thumbs…

  12. OOOOH Vicky – I have missed this so much! It’s like all is right with the world to have you back in business here.
    There is nothing like the happy sound of the coffee pot grinding beans and the beeps and twits of the computer turning on, knowing that for a few peaceful moments even Charley and Greg need to linger in their beds while I enjoy the serial story of the life of my two favorite furry purries and their stitchin’ mama!
    Happy Stitching all!
    Deeva!
