Weekend Stitching

P6177649

I spent a little time with Praying Hands over the weekend. Here’s my progress as of Sunday evening:
I hope you all had a truly blessed Father’s Day with your dad’s, husband’s, son’s, and other father figures in your life! Mine was a little different this year as many of you know my dad passed last September. I decided to cook Rosemary Chicken [tenders], baked Sweet Potato and French Style Green Beans for me and my sissy. We had a quiet evening together.
Next week I go to Denver. Part of my job requires me to travel there for training at the National Veteran’s Training Institute (part of the University of Colorado). I am attending Labor Employment Specialist next week. I will have to go again a couple more times for other courses. It will be nice to get away! I want to take Praying Hands with me, but not sure of the policy with bringing a sewing needle on the plane with me. Any suggestions?? I don’t plan to check my bag.
~Until Next Time~

I have had no problem bringing one needle with me; you need to be careful about scissors--the total length cannot be longer then 4"--if I were you, I would go to the website of the airport/airline you are flying to see what they say. Hope you have plenty of time to stitch!!!

I agree with Debbie, call the airlines direct and ask for solutions. More than likely they won't have an issue if you declare it when you check in with security.

Sounds like you're off to a great start.

I recently flew to ID on Delta and no problem with my needles...my scissors they weren't happy with until I agreed to put them in my checked bags.

Again, thanks all! I did look up the regs from TSA and Southwest (their link goes to TSA) and feel confident I will be able to take a project with me to Denver!! Now to determine just how to make everything I need fit into 1 bag that I can carry-on. I refuse to check my bag this trip. One of my colleagues has lost his luggage a couple times going there or coming back, lol.

It's My Turn!!!

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

Image
 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
