What can I say two posts in one day.

I have the titanium needles in now.  What a great success these needles are.  I have them in Embroidery and the Quilting.  I have put quite a few packages away for those who have asked for them.  I hope with your help that I will keep on track with the dates of the clubs.  (Not like the last time).  I have lots of great news.  I would like to welcome Karen to the Embroidery club.  Karen will be picking up her new Pfaff Embroidery machine on Monday.  She does not know what she is in for.  The other news is Sharon has decided to buy a Diamond and she is picking that up on Monday.  I am really excited for these two.  Let the lesson begin.  The other great news is Gudrun was in the store today for a class and has her embroidery quilt pieced together.  She has to put a border on it and then quilt it.  I guess I better start to quilt my and give some life.  (I find for me that the quilts come to life when they are quilted.)  I will be posting some pictures of Gudrun's quilt today or tomorrow.

Oh what fun we have

Margaret suggested that I post this as it is quite funny and yes I did put my foot in my mouth or should I say both feet.  We were hosting the embroidery recipe and the Christmas block of the month during the day and of course I told people different times for different things.  For example I told the recipe people the afternoon time and I told the Christmas block of the month the same time so I had two classes going at the sametime.  Well that was not bad as the machine embroidery classes are a little easier as the prep work takes more time than the stitching.  So everything was going well the recipe that I had prepared was good and we were having loads of fun and two more people have decided to come to another class.  Sharon decided that she wanted to particpate in the recipe class and Lynne decided to participate in the Christmas block of the month.  Great more ladies to have more fun.  I was explaining to Lynne about the Christmas club and I prepared her a binder etc and explain how I teach the class.  Lynne said that I have a fair amount of catching up to do when I said do worry how that you are retarded you can get caught up quite quickly.  Everyone started to laugh I then realized what I had said and oh great a good way to turn people off of my embroidery clubs.  Lynne took the comment in stride and was laughing just as much as everyone.  Thanks Lynne.

Another day what can I say

Hello everyone another couple of days have gone by and I am still trying to finish my jacket and I have decided and have finished ripping the front out to restitch the front.  I am still busy with lessons and machines which is good and when you are busy the time does go by fast.  The house has not sold as of yet today it has been  up two months so far.  (A reminder no dwelling).  I am getting Margaret to show me how to add pictures to this blog as I think they might be fun to see.  My design wall is not finished and I am still trying to work on it.  Well that is it for now and I will be back soon.

Yes Margaret you are working me to hard.

What can I say Margaret and I have decided to change the machine side around as the new Horn Cabinets have arrived.  We needed to see what they look like.  The space does look good.  Now that three more students have signed up for Carolyn and my Christmas Block of the Month we are very excited (you know it doesn't take much to get me excited) we have decided to do a design wall in our classroom that will host an array of ongoing projects from embroidery to jackets whatever we are working on. The next thing is getting it made.  Margaret is now a tweeter or tweeting and she has asked to me to join her.  I think me tweeting do I have the time with all my ideas.  However we did get a visit from Kelly and she has decided to tweet with Margaret.  Kelly is joining me in my Sulky course and has decided that it would be fun for us to tweet Margaret while we are away.  Only time will tell with that one.  Carol I hope you notice that I have done yet another post on this blog.  I think that I am starting to like it.  Now off to send more invites.  Debbi

Yes Tim did hit a Turkey

Yes as Margaret did post Tim did hit a Turkey on Monday early evening.  No he is not cooking it at home, no I am not eating the turkey, yes the vehicle has to get fixed and yes I am sick of Tim saying a turkey took out my truck.  Thanks Kelly for asking if Tim was okay we have decided that if he had taken the car which he was supposed to do there would have been more damage to the car than the truck.  So I guess that is a good thing.  Haily has decided that she is not sure about her favourite Uncle and she has post the pictures etc on facebook and keeps saying she is not related.  Hopefully Carol you will notice that I have posted two times in one day on my blog.  I hope to keep it up.  Debbi.  P.S. I have sent out invites for some people to follow my blog.

Boy does time fly by

I have to admit that I am not keeping up with my blog and I hope after a client (Carol) reminded me that I have not posted anything since January that maybe I better do something.  Well in the last couple of months we were in Florida for two weeks had a great time and not to mention the weather was terrific.  We have listed our house (in the hopes of getting a new studio space for you know who) with over 40 showings no offers yet I am going nuts, oh yea.  One of our clients informed me that listing your house is just a excuse to keep the bathroom clean and at this point I think that she might be right.  Enough about the house I do have some exciting news, a friend Kelly and I are taking a Sulky Class in July and we will be certified Sulky Teachers we can't wait.  (The only thing staff here say Debbi certified or certiable.)  Three days of projects without the embroidery machine (can't imagine that one) we will be thread painting and bobbin work etc. using sulky threads and stabilizers.  More exciting news is we are hosting Kerrin Brooks from B.C. Kerrin is a Pfaff and Husqvarna Educator and she will be working with 4D on Thursday June 2 on Friday June 3 we will be creating a Floral Rhaspsody that Kerrin has design herself and on Saturday June 4 she will be showing us how to turn line art or picture into stitches.  As well my husband Tim and I will be hosting Kerrin and her husband, talk about picking someone brain.  The class run from 10:00 - 4:00 each day and the cost is $75.00 per day.  If you don't have 5D and are thinking about it this is the class for you as we will install the program onto your laptop for you to try and if you are not ready to purchase we then remove the program from the laptop.  Carolyn and I are hosting a Christmas block of the month in the afternoons and in the evenings.  We are having a ball if you are interested let me know as there is still room for anyone.  Hopefully I will remember to post more notes and keep you posted on my new studio space.  (I know my daughter and son in law are looking for someone to buy our house so they can get their house and garage back.  The other thing is I have make sure that everything comes back as I am sure somethings might go missing. Hopefully you will hear from me more often.  It is Carolyn's birthday today so Happy Birthday Carolyn.  Debbi
