Where oh where, do I start?

Dear friends,

     I sit here today with nary a thing to do 

the leaves, the laundry, and dusting, all give me the blues!

So, I thought instead... I'd write you a letter

I'll post it in poem and hope for the better!

I shudder to think that these prose you might judge

so with a wink and I smile, I'll give you a nudge

and ask you to remember that I hold your hearts dear

and I'll continue on without any fear!

I've been here, been there, I've been all around

I've been feeling quite the girl about town!

There've been weddings, trips and shopping too 

I've got so many pictures to share with you!

That's me on the left with friends Marian and Laurie

We had quite the good time, and believe me the stories,

go way beyond what's acceptable here!

I just want to remind you that cameras are near ;-)

I took a trip I had planned with my Mum.

We were going to Charleston to have some girl fun!

The trip was cut short and that was really a pity

because history abounds in this beautiful city!

 The Jane Eliza Taylor sampler is displayed on a wall 

 

And of course I love seeing old cemeteries in Fall:

 Gates to secret gardens are all around

And plants growing out of walls, can even be found!

Thanks to my friend and fellow blogger Mel

I went to a museum and the textile curator, well...

she showed me around and made my day

by showing me samplers that weren't on display!

The museum is the first in the U.S. of A!

And I have to tell you it's got some awesome displays!

The samplers, the textiles, the artifacts, too

Will have you amazed and awed, it's true!

Seeing the samplers from Low Country way, 

Gave me a thrill on that October day!

 But I did walk around and what do you suppose I should see,

but a street in Charleston, named after me.

Now stitching you know is what I adore

but more than one project now that, I abhor!

So how is that at this time and place

I have more than one project raiding my space?

Two I can show you, one I cannot 

but suffice it to say, my needle's not hot.

Very few stitches have I laid of late

but on one little project I just couldn't wait.

It's the English version of Adam and Eve

by Ebeth Talledo and it called to me.

I thought it was cute and oh so sweet

with their pilgrimy collars and turned out feet!

Of course I changed a color or two

the leaves I made all the same green hue.

The snake with blue dots I just couldn't see

so I changed them to red.  Look, he's staring at Eve!

Miss Susan Rambo is coming along fine

Though slower than normal cause other projects of mine

Like the one that's called The Patches of Life

and Susan Singleton yes, they're causing me strife.

But not as much stress as this post has done

cause it's telling me space for pictures, I've none.

What pray tell and how can that be?

Will this be the end of blogging for me?

I hope not my friends, because this is true

I've come to heavily rely upon you!

You give inspiration and love quite willing

and your notes to me, I find quite thrilling!

So no pic of Patches or other treasures; I'm woozy!

and I'm really quite bummed so I think I'll go snoozy.

Later I'll try to figure out what is wrong

and if I can post pics, I won't be away long.

Oh! One last pic that I loaded before

the note that I got said I could load no more.

When my mom and I returned to Virginia

my Dad had this salad all made for our dinner!

The table was set and what a pretty site,

when Dad prepares dinner, he does it up right!

The salad was pretty, the chicken a sight

and spending time with my parents, is my hearts delight!

Good night and farewell for now, my dear friends,

there's more to this story but for now it must end.

I hope I can show you more pictures, soon

I promise some treasures that will make your heart swoon!

Be well,

Peace,

Terri
