Goodhart Samplers - Mail S.E.X.
So, on-topic - yeah! Just had the bell ring, and it was a package from
Thistle Threads with the gorgeous book from Needleprint "The Goodhart Samplers." For those of us in the Goldwork Class, Tricia arranged a group purchase, and in 2 minutes I decided that this splurge was a worthy one. All I can say is that if you're interested in historical needlework/samplers - this is a wow! I think there are about 120 samplers in this - it is a collection of early samplers, and has great information about the motifs, writings of the time, etc. I've only just begun to browse through it, and some of this work could take your breath away. Most fun, for me, seeing some of the early motifs, plans for different animals as done in the 16th/17 century. Some really great and inspiring ideas for squirrels, foxes, dogs - different than the ones typically seen. Anyhow, I'm sure this is going to keep me intriqued for quite some time and be a great reference. Well, back to work stuff or some such - did my first meeting with the Personal trainer at the gym - meant stress test - woo hoo, and now have been dealing with the fun of bill paying. More woo hoo!

It's just amazing to me to see such a full collection of well preserved, historic pieces of work. And interesting to think about them in the perspective of how/why these were done. Sort of the link of needleworkers thru the ages. Anyhow - we're celebrating the 'Cup, as I now won the local pool of our hockey pals (a moderated list group that's been going for about 14 years). I'll explain more later, but DH is thoroughly enjoying my win, and the Hawks. Sad that the Philly fans felt compelled to boo the awarding of the Conn Smythe, and the Cup. Ugh. Well - off to bed or somesuch. I have to carpool DH to the Express bus as he's working downtown this week - so early morning for me. And...then a bit later I get to go to the big girl potential job to sign for something that has come for me there from the affiliated gov agency. We're hopeful that it's just another question for clarification, or the like - and that my approval will finally come thru! Ellice |

No one said the Philly fans had any class I was in a dilemma here.....whether to root for the hated Flyers... or root for Hossa on his third try....ended up not being a problem. I flipped back and forth between the game and a movie. Caught the Hawks celebrating. Decided rooting for the Hawks was the lesser of two evils. The Flyers and Philly fans couldn't get my support even if they are in PA. Nancy |
