What I get for trying to be organized

A lot of guff from my family! 
That's what I get!
I bought a new dry-erase month at a glance calendar with magnets on the back that I can tack on my refrigerator. It has a space for my schedule and for "their" schedules. 
You should have heard the laughter!
 OK, I am not known around these parts for being organized, but when I do try I think I should be at least encouraged! 
Right? 
Yes I should!
 
I carefully filled in all of the activities for this week and hung it up. And so far, I like it! OK, I didn't fill in the dinner menu-I mean you can't expect me to commit a week in advance, can you?
So this morning I went in the kitchen to get my coffee and "glance" at my new calendar, and this is what some Wise-enheimer added,
Ha Ha Ha! Everyone is a comedian!

Sampler Stocking finished!!




 
Sampler Stocking VIII
Mary Beale Designs
25 ct. Dublin linen
 
I hope I will be able to find good fabrics to finish it with. 
Our fabric choices have really been limited in the last couple of years.
 In the past I used a decorator weight moire'  taffeta to line my stockings, it was wonderful. And a velveteen for the back. 
Well, we'll see what I can find!

Sandyhook

My heart is broken.
St. Michael the archangel defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
By the power of God,
Cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits,
Who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Sampler Stocking~so gorgeous!

I am loving this project-it is turning out so pretty!
Isn't it just gorgeous!!!
I am down to the heel now.
I love working on 25 ct.
It is a breath of fresh air after working so many projects on 40 or 36ct.

I hope to have it finished this week.
