I’m leaving today…(well actually tomorrow) in my very best Liza Minnelli impersonation…I want to be part of it, New York! New York! Those vagabond shoes are longing to stray, and make a brand new start of it. New York, New York!
Well in case you haven’t figured it out by now, my Mac and I are headed east for a little visit with my sister. Some girl time, some sister type things, some stitching time, some laughs and gabbing the nights away. My sister usually comes out here for a visit every summer, but we decided that I would come east this time.
I have stitching to get ready, lots of shorts, tshirts and all kinds of casual clothes to pack. Noticed I said stitching first? I am starting a new Pische Pocket, actually this one is for my sister, so the plan is to hopefully finish it while I am there and leave it behind. I think that I have given myself high expectations of speedy fingers being that I haven’t put one stitch in it yet! I won’t be taking the Deeva Easter Egg House or Sharon G’s Cat’s Night Out or Maggie’s Guarding the Village with me since I have my work cut out for me with my Pische Pocket.
In case you are wondering about this canvas seen here, it is by DJ Designs and is a snippet from the larger stockings that are in the line. It is just an ornament size and it came from Annie and Company in NYC.
I have thought ahead and worked to photograph and load a variety of pictures on my computer, so that I can keep the blog going. It might not be as often while I am gone and it might not be a stitching report every time, as you might get rather tired of the slow and steady progress of a Pische Pocket. Just in case I finish the Pische Pocket for my sister, I have another one for myself! yes just like I need another bag, but when Susan Portra said beads, I gave in. Oh well, what can I say? I just may take a heart with me too.
The cats will not be pleased with me, especially AlleyCat and trust me she will voice her displeasure when I get back. Rose, who takes care of them when I am gone will be busy keeping them entertained. I was giving some of the plants a little drink of water yesterday and Miss BB, better known as Miss Busy Body couldn’t figure out what was going on! and until next time…keep on stitching
Don’t mean to rain on your parade, but we’re having a heat wave a tropical heat wave. I should be at Annie’s on Saturday so maybe I’ll see you there! Have a great time in the baked apple…
I am expecting heat…not that I want it, but what can I do?
Sounds like a fun trip and enjoy your stitching time with your Sister. Drink lots of water and most of all ENJOY!!!! Safe travels

Thanks Sue!
Have fun Vicky, will miss your daily posts, they are always great. Love the Sugar Skull and can hardly wait to see the beaded version. Have a blast in NY!
Thank you! I think I might take the Sugar Skull with me. Yes I am all for the beaded version, but thought some wouldn’t want all the beading, so that’s why 2! I need to go bead shopping too for that.
Have fun in The City and come home safe.
Thanks Jane!
I vote for Sugar Skull (and all of his beads and maybe some Sundance Sequins) to make the trip to New York. Start spreading the news … Have a fantastic time. We will all live vicariously through your adventure. We want full reports (but you can omit the humidity & heat, I’ve got my own, thanks)!
I have been stitching on that today with Kreinik #100 so far. I don’t have the beads yet and the Sundance sequins are at the Needlepoint Now photography studio.
Happy trails and safe travels.
