See, I have been stitching and I have the pictures to prove it! Here is a little scissor fob I was compelled (by that inner, screaming voice) to create for Becky. This was sent as a tiny RAK and I think Becky liked it.
There is just a teeny bumblebee on the back.
Oh, hell...I mean...hail.
Yesterday, at 9am the sky grew as dark as night and a storm swept in. We stood in the foyer at work and watched as it rained buckets, then hailed for a very long time. I don't remember a hail storm lasting so long! Below are a couple of hailstones Rick took photos of, beside his cell phone. These were half-an-hour-melted too, as it wasn't safe to be out while they were still coming down!
My truck got several great dents; lots on the roof and this big one on the front quarter-panel. Damn it! Jessie's car wasn't spared dents either. Rick checked the roof of the house this morning and will phone the insurance company on Monday to report the damage.
Mom & Dad House Finch have only one chick. None of the other four eggs hatched. Looks like they haven't gotten their timing of um, things down just right! But the only chick is thriving and I can always tell when Mom & Dad are bringing food as chick makes a lot of noise, right outside my stitchy window!
More stitchy updates soon, I promise. The mojo is still strong...it's amazing what a week off work will do for a person!

What a cute fob! I know it will be treasured for years to come. What a bad hail storm you had. I hope the damage is not too much on your roof. Sorry about your vehicles.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hail Batman!
ReplyDeleteThe one tiny bee on the back of the fob is the most darling touch. Little details like that make the project special.
Good luck to the "only child" birdie.
What a cute little fob, no wonder Becky loved it.
ReplyDeleteThe're not hailstones the're snowballs. wouldn't have liked to be caught outdoors when they were coming down.
We had chicks in a nest right above the bedroom, I didn't appreciate being woken up at 5:00 am every morning. Thankfully they have flown the nest now.
nice fob, wow now thats what I call hail !!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute fob!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen 'hail' that large before - if you were caught outside and donged on the head, you'd end up in hospital!! Yikes!
Cute little "B"ee fob. So sorry about the hail damage, saw this on the news, luckily the city was spared this round of storms. CJ ok;-)

ReplyDeleteGreat little fob. I love those initial designs.
ReplyDeleteHail, I know about hail. When I was workinging at OSU in Okmulgee we had a hailstorm in October. My library was damaged severly. It was a mess.
Wow! That's some big hail stones! Your poor car.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures, even those that don't involve stitching. :) The bees on your fob are just darling. I'd love to see an update on Crabby when you get around to it. I love that design!
OMGoodness, just look at that Hail...huge, huge stuff you got there! Sorry to hear about the damage it did to the vehicles...OUCH! But, hopefully it'll all work out, getting them fixed.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! That's the biggest hail I've ever seen! Hate to hear you got damage from it too:(

ReplyDeleteThe fob is adorable.
That is a pretty fob :)
ReplyDeleteThe hailstone is really big..can't imagine what will happen if it is gonna hit on someone...gosh!

Wow that is some intense hail. We've had some hail lately but nothing that big!
Great stitching!!
ReplyDeleteThat hail is crazy!!
Love the cute little fob - am sure Becky did too. :0) Hope the hail damage isn't too bad & is easily fixed. Must be seriously scarey!
ReplyDeleteoh your scissor fob is lovely!
ReplyDeleteand wow they're big hailstones!!
The fob is great! The hail, not so much! OMG !!!!
ReplyDeleteThe fob is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe hail --- UGH! We went through that a few years back. Luckily both cars were in the garage. But, our oak trees looked like someone went through with a weed whacker!
Lovely fob!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have hailstorms here from time to time. I remember the largest pieces when I was a child, but now with the climate changing we don't have such big pieces anymore (or at least I haven't seen them).
Glad you're getting your mojo back. Mine isn't gone but work hardly lets me any free time. I'm counting down to vacation...
What a gorgeous little fob.
ReplyDeleteThat was one huge hail stone! Glad we don't seem to get them that big here.
The fob is super! Beautifully finished too!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the dents on your car :(
Nice little fob for Becky, its perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat fob! I especially like the tiny bumblebee detail on the back. Well done. Sorry about all of the damage that hail left. With ice chunks that size, it would be impossible to escape the damage. I hope that you were able to get the roof fixed up quickly.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Those are HUGE!!!! No wonder you had such dents in your cars. I'm SO glad I live where I do.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish and I'm sure Becky loved it too :o)
What a cute baby!
