The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side

So here it is - a cold December day.....a really cold December day!  The Shop Girls are busy completing several orders that have Christmas deadlines.  In the meantime,  a few orders are in the pipeline for the New Year.

restitching the needlepoint piece

First things first though.  We've been working on a needlepoint piece for a bit.  Truth be told, the spacing of the initial job didn't agree with our customer.  No worries!  The Shop Girls simply removed the backing and began to reassemble it. 

After all....we know 'The Customer Is Always Right'.  The extra half-inch on the bottom, that was so pleasing to the design team, just had to go.  Well, who knew this needlepoint piece would misbehave so much.  The material remembered the first position it was in.....and upon being restitched/remounted/redone....decided to shift back to it's initial placement.

*sigh*

No problems....no worries.....The Shop Girls will get it right.  The Shop Girls will get it DONE!  Today!

We're happy to announce, "We Did It!"  After our shift today, it is finally done! 

*Whew*

In the meantime, an interesting 'theme' has been observed.  It was completely by accident....a coincidence for sure.

The next several pieces are all 'beachy'.  Visions of sun, sand, ocean breezes....and warmth.  Scenes from Margate, Atlantic City, Nags Head and a stunning sunset over the Delaware River. 

Kinda funny for a cold December day, huh?!  We've just received our first snow of the winter yesterday and we're already longing for Summer.
