twenty years ago when i got into crafting and cross stitching, i made quite a few of the designs by a company called 'lavender and lace'. they had the most beautiful designs, and very intricate, too, which used beads and metal threads. nothing to show for it though as they all ended up as gifts to some friends who got married or relocated to other parts of canada or australia.
it's very cold in Toronto it's not even funny! i had wanted to go around the downtown area to shoot but the mere thought of how cold it was coupled with a nasty wind just sent shivers down my spine and made me not want to even look out. i did notice the moon this afternoon while the sun was going down and when i was walking home from the subway station. i did brave going to sears to find a pair of leather gloves because i'm just too lazy to find the ones from last year. i should really make the effort because it means my shooting gloves would be with them, too.
As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband's ranch near Snowflake. She put a shoebox on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband never to touch it. For 50 years, Uncle Jack left the box alone, until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important. Opening it, he found two doilies and $2,500 in cash. He took the box to her and asked about the contents. "My mother gave me that box the day we were married," she explained. "She told me to make a doily to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you." Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she'd only been mad at him twice. "What's the $2,500.00 for?" he asked.
"Oh, that's the money I made selling the doilies," she answered.
