Why? Because it's saturday and you need to relax after a stressful week
Well, remember this post where I was telling you how upset I was with Chuy's niece wo didn't send the package on febuary like she had said? When Chuy called, she said, she sent them on march 14 th. Today, we got 4 packages on the 11 she said she has sent.And what is the date ?????????? March 24 th
Do you believe that ?
Anyway ....... I got some of my christmas stuffs but 3 little angels are broken: too bad, they were very cute. And I got some of my charts back and some clothes.
The mail carrier asked if it was me who had called them about some packages sent from Germany so I fell really bad telling him that yes, it was me ... He said: " but the packages are not from Germany"... So I try to explain the best I could ( understand: without telling him the whole lie story that is getting worse and worse) that it had been sent from the american base in Germany ... The guy probably thought I was dumb not making the difference between the USPS and the german mail (thanks god, it didn't talk about the dates that didn't match ... it would have been more embarrassing ... ) Anyway, Chuy called to say "thanks"
Wait: it's not over yet
I committed a stitching sin last night ...

And this is my first progress picture (not very impressive but you know I like to show daily progress

It's stitched on a 27 count cream jobelan. The fabric is not serged so I'm doing it by hand (no sewing machine living here ... ). I know I could use some masking tape but see, I'm a rather tactile stitcher; that means I love the feel of my fabric on my fingers and I don't think I'll like having tape on my fabrics. Will you be surprised if I tell you I love the colors on that one too?
Two or three days ago I did something you won't believe:

Oooh lovely to see Christmas Tree back out again Chiloe. It is growing nicely.
I'm sorry I don't live next door so that I could stitch that green tree for you! I still love green, but I am getting rather bored with all the blues in Hawaiian Mandala.
Yes, even when family means well letting them ship you stuff can be a nightmare. I left my cell phone charger in Kentucky last summer. I asked my MIL to ship it to us in San Francisco USPS Express Mail. See, we stay in an industrial area in San Francisco and only the USPS will leave stuff even if we are not there. FedEx and UPS will just leave a notice and eventually return the delivery. So, of course, my SIL sent it UPS Overnight. I got on the phone and called her every name in the book. At least it was still at the shippers and she got it back and sent it USPS Express Mail as I requested. We are still a bit sidewise about that. I hope the rest of your packages arrive soon and in good shape.
You are doing a great job on the green.
Love the design of the new start.
Sucks so much about the mail. Hate it when you can't rely on people to do what they said they would.
I wouldn't say it's funny, but I do guess you've learned not to rely on her again. :(
Your stitching pics are great!
