Coffee Musings - 010908

I woke up a little tired because I had a hard time getting to sleep, and my dreams just weren't interesting. However, once I woke I realized that I planned on taking pictures of my needlepoints, and all of a sudden I felt this surge of energy!

I was a huge Elvis fan when I was in high school. I finished this needlepoint the summer before I went to college.

I finished this needlepoint the summer before I went to college also. I didn't realize at the time that the fashion was a theme with me over life . . .

This is a picture of my good wall. I completed these since I've moved to Maryland. There's about a 20 year difference between when I finished these needlepoints and the earlier one of pink and blue. See a theme? I love the fashions of the 1920s.

This is my good wall. Not only do I have the needlepoints (from left top row- Rose, Eva, left bottom row - Bibliobella, Charlotte), but I framed thank you letters my oldest niece and nephew sent to me after I took them to Pearl Jam concerts (E. Rutherford June 1+3, 2006). We were in 2nd row, and both of them were thrown tamborines by Eddie, and pics by Mike. We were able to get 2nd row because of my wonderful 10C number. Membership has it's privileges!

I completed a LOT more than this, but I gave them away. My parents have a lot. When I visited them once most of the art on the walls were my needlepoints. That's pretty cool. Very easy decision when Christmas time comes around.
