Happiness

We are happy in the house tonight. If you have read my blog for long, you know that I am an Obama Mama. A rout in our old home state of North Carolina and aan almost win in Indiana, Steve’s birth state. Both of the respective counties that we resided in went for Obama. See my other blog for a great video.

I am also pleased that my third collage was sold today to benefit Fiberart for a Cause, Virginia Spiegel’s American Cancer Society fundraiser. They are all ready to go into priority mail envelopes and fly off to their new homes. Over $12,000 was raised in two days. Congratulations and thanks to Virginia for her tireless work.

I spent most of today running around town getting last minute things for the trip. I bought some great Mephisto sandals, recommended for my foot problem. I also picked up some t-shirts at Chicos to fill in my wardrobe plan.

Tonight, I am hand stitching a piece that I want to get finished so that I can photograph it and enter it in a show with a deadline while I am gone. Do you think, I will make it? Stay tuned.

Now, why am I not getting any nice comments from you? I know from my stats that there are lots of you stopping by here every day. Am I boring you?

  1. If you are going on a trip how are you going to vote for Obama on the 20th?
    You are never boring.

    we passed a school bus full of elementary age children hollering to the tops of their lungs…i couldn’t figure out what they where saying and was feeling sorry for the bus driver until my daughter said “those are you kind of children”…they where chanting “vote for Obama”…that made me smile really big…i had my 2 year old grandson doing the same thing last weekend! hehehehe

    You never bore me. I’m just a lazy commenter. Good luck with the hand stitching. Oh, I meant to tell you a few posts back that I also adore Brothers and Sisters! Wow… Rob Lowe has aged well!

    I doubt you could ever bore anyone. So glad your pieces did well-what a great feeling. That scarf is gorgeous.

    BTW, Mia’s hair is adorable.

    I’m here, just grumpy and drugged – pinched nerve in neck – so I am afraid comments wouldn’t make sense. the scarves are beautiful. Have a great time on you trip.
