"Sharon~ What have you done with my needlepoint?"

"Well I have added silk trims and tassels and made your beautiful vintage needlepoint into a tuffet that will be well loved today and into the future"

"No ~ Sharon what have you done with my needlepoint?"

"Huh?? Right answer to the wrong question. So sorry. Yes I have your needlepoint right here on my worktable~ it means a lot to me that you have have trusted me with a precious family heirloom~ so much so that I sometimes get stymied and worry I will make the wrong decisions~ but I will get your tuffet made."

Late year I had a wonderful opportunity to be an ad in Teatime, but it has such unexpected consequences~ and I am left to deal with those consequences today. I accepted many many special request to make pillows with family heirlooms. Precious family heirlooms. I thought everything would be fine~ I can do this (and I can and I will.) It will take time for me to get them all caught up. It really does mean so much to me that I was trusted with these pieces that I want them to turn out just so...... I just didn't know I would feel that way until I open all the packages that came to my door. Now I know and I will file it in my brain for future reference~ but for now bear with me~ I am working. Scout's honor!
