Playing catch-up again...

A couple Topics of the Week, an SBQ...why can I not keep up with these things?

Here we go:

Topic of the Week April 28, 2008: Share a photo...and a little info...of yourself as a child

OK, I don't have a photo. Most of the photos of me as a child are at my parents' house, and the handful that I do have here are located in a box somewhere. So I slack and have no photo.

As for the info...I was a typical little girl growing up in the 1980's. I loved horses and animals, took dance lessons, played soccer, was in Girl Scouts, wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up...and I was also *painfully* shy. Not around friends or people I knew, but put me in a situation where I was with strangers and I could not socialize. This annoying little deal carried on until I went away to college and literally had to force myself to mingle with the strangers.

There you have it...I've been normally typical my whole life! ;-)


Topic of the Week May 5, 2008: How did you choose the name for your blog? Is there a special reason behind it? Please share.

I know I've answered this before, but instead of looking for the link, I'll just answer it again.

My blog title - The Stitching Hour - is a play on words of the witching hour. When I got back to stitching a few years ago, each night as I was preparing to stitch, I would tell my husband that it was the stitching hour...trying to be corny and punny. When I set this blog up a couple years ago, that was the first name that popped into my head, so it became The Stitching Hour.

This week's SBQ was suggested by Jennifer:

Do you have any pieces that you would liked passed on to future
generations as family heirlooms?

The permalink to this post is: http://blog.blondelibrarian.net/archives/2008/04/sbq-heirlooms/

There are a few pieces that come to mind: our wedding piece, the girls' birth announcements, the first haircut pieces (still need to make one for The Little Tot), my Alphabet Sampler Book...probably some more, but my mind is mush and I can't think at the moment.

The rear-view picture of The Little Dog from yesterday...I played around with it a bit:

:-)

Nothing fancy, as I had to use Microsoft Paint because we don't have Photoshop (although I would love to have it!). Nonetheless, it's quite fitting, I think.

I'm sure The Little Dog would be thrilled to know that I'm plastering his rear all over the Internet. At least his butt's not too big, unlike a lot of Dachshunds I come across.

(and I'm wondering what kind of weird search topics will link to this entry...all this talk about dog butts and rear-view pictures...LOL)

Have a good weekend!
