May WIPocalypse Update

Happy Sunday everyone!
I know I am a day behind with my WIPocalypse update, but the date snuck up on me...

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot to share, since I've been posting so much lately and I spent Friday "bobbinating" (thanks Mii for the term :) )...
So, I haven't done a lot of stitching.

I did start a new bird by Fuzzy Fox Design...
...decided to work on the cute little Kiwi bird...
Say "Hello" to George the Kiwi...

The entire time I'm stitching on this piece, I have this dialog running through my head...
"My puny kiwi wings weren't big enough for Delores. Oh no, oh no... she had to have AN ALBATROSS. With great big huge LONG WINGS."
10 points to anyone that knows what movie that comes from... 

He has been a lot of fun to work on and I can't wait to finish him!

So, that is it for stitching...

I do have a funny story to share...
A couple weeks ago, during one of our weekly grocery shopping trips, I picked up 4 skeins of DMC 310 floss (one can never have enough black floss)...
We checked out and I distinctly remembered watching the clerk place my floss in a bag, but when we got home, I couldn't find it.  I didn't think much of it, figured it got left in a bag that I put in our pantry closet (I save all the plastic bags) or it was in one of my hubby's grocery bags (he drives a semi-truck, so he has separate groceries that he takes on the road)...
Honestly, I completely forgot about it...

The next day I remembered, because I had been sorting my floss for and upcoming project...
So, I called my hubby and asked him to check his bags.  He did and said he couldn't find it.
I checked the pantry bags and still no floss.

I figured a bag must have had a hole in it and my floss fell out...

Well, guess what my hubby brought home to me this weekend...
my MISSING floss!  
It had been in one of his groceries bag the whole time.


This floss has been on quite the journey, out to North Carolina and Texas...

Anyway, it just struck me as funny.

Well, I hope everyone has a great upcoming week, filled with lots of stitching!

  1. Great stitching progress!
    I too have been "bobbinating" this past few days... all my DMC are now to be on plastic bobbins instead of the card ones! Such fun :)
    You are really lucky to find DMC at your local grocery shop!! Glad you've managed to find them after all this time!

  2. I love your Floss story - I think because it always happens to me, I am always losing the floss and finding it later - usually in the "Empty Plastic Bag Stash". It's amazing what lengths I will go to, to find missing floss. Love you bird, I have no idea what movie that song is from

      I am always losing things...
      My hubby and I have been looking at shelving units, so I can have a place for all my crafty stuff. Hopefully that keeps me from misplacing everything. :)

  3. Hello George! Cute stitch. Could you have a look in your hubby's grocery bags to see if you could find my 5 new pieces of finishing fabric which I have lost somewhere in my house since last Thursday?

      Bobbinating can be quite relaxing some days.
