I stayed up until midnight last evening to try to get the third Santa hooked but just couldn't make it with a later start than planned. There is nothing worse than having to pack it in when you are so close to the finish line. It's difficult to pull your brain away from completing it but, I was so dog tired I started seeing double and knew I'd be useless today without a decent enough sleep.
Funny, as soon as I crawled into bed, there wasn't an ounce of sleep in me and my brain remained active until the wee hours of the morning at which time I got fed up and turned on the light to read my book that Sue found at Value Village, Dissecting Death written by a seasoned pathologist that features very interesting case studies of murder victims and finding their killers. A bit of light reading for sure and I learned a lot of interesting tidbits that are useful to my writing. Don't worry I won't get graphic and scare you off with the details, but it is fascinating stuff if you don't mind dead bodies!
At the hook-in I managed to finish the third Santa but didn't get them sewn into cones or hooked their beards because I need to steam them first. I'm thinking maybe I'll hook a few more to dress up the shop for Christmas. These hook-up really quickly and make great gifts or tree toppers. We sell the patterns as singles or you can get three of various sizes on one piece of linen.
So Sue dropped by with a bunch of cutting machines that she hopes to sell. One Rigby and three Fraser 500 machines and a bunch of blades. There is nothing wrong with them, they've been replaced by a Bolivar. All are in good working order. If you are interested in inquiring about these machines email Sue at [email protected] for pricing, etc.
