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.

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

Well, it’s almost here! I am almost 40!! Why do I sound so happy about it you might be wondering. Most people get to this age and act as though their world is coming to an end. I choose to look at it in a positive way: I am STILL ALIVE!!! I know HE has a plan for me and my life. I am thankful everyday that I wake up. I am also thankful for my stitchy friends here in bloggy-land. Just because we don’t know one another on a personal level doesn’t mean we don’t know one another, right?! So, I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all. I am going to do a giveaway. Yup! I will call it “My 40th Year Giveaway”. What will be included in this giveaway you might ask? Well, stay tuned! I plan to reveal that a little later on, but first here is my check-in post for WIPocalypse: I put a few stitches into Coming Home for the Holidays (my SAL with Joy ): I plan to work a little more on it this evening. I also put some more into Cancer Ribbon Awareness by Ink Circles: I think I am going ...
