Boo Boo Cold Out
Well isn’t that something. I am beginning to come accustomed to it.
I had an agenda today. I had stitched some small Christmas stuffed pillows to put in my dough-bowl. This morning the dough-bowl and the pillows found their home back in the studio. The pillows are in a box labeled “Finished Item” up on shelf. The bowl back into the cupboards in the cistern closet. That was the extent of our decorating for the Christmas of 2024. It wasn’t what was setting out as decorations, it was what I felt in the heart and my entire being.
While I dribble out my thoughts on the blog for today, I have the embroidery module running next to me on the sewing machine. I still have a few Christmas feelings that I want to stitch out for a Christmas yet to be.
I was surfing the OESD site. It is the site from Oklahoma that has designs compatible with Bernina. I had had an email of the sale. I looked over some Christmas designs. Ever since the time I have had the option of embroidery, I never not dipped my toe into what was available much for Christmas. I did choose four packets. Each packet has multiple designs within. One has 41 designs of machine quilting designs and applique designs, another 34 white work (all one color) designs and the last Christmas packet has 16 multi color Christmas. The fourth packet has 11 designs of non Christmas plus there were three free designs. Each one of these 102 designs could be purchased individually for the average of $3.00 each. Merry Christmas to me for my purchase price of $84.00. For the phenomenal nominal price of $15.00 the company loaded all these designs on a flash drive plus would send it out to me. I cannot imagine this Grammie having to individually get these files extracted from a zip folder for my enjoyment.
I didn’t care that I would receive this possibly after Christmas. So . . . right now I have one design being stitched while I type. The wonderful thing is that all the thread that these designs require are suggested for Isocord thread. All the designs listing the color of Isocord thread needed is the color pallet I have and work from. Oh so sweet.
So that is my day in a nut shell. I need to stay focused on the embroidery.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
