TSK TSK TSK

My mom can't come to the blog right now. I've grounded her to the laundry room, since she refuses to be the GROWN UP and put her toys away. I'm putting my paw down, people. Every night before she tucks me into bed, we go about the house picking up all of my toys. Only then (!), when they are properly put away in their respective baskets (one for balls, one for stuffed toys), am I allowed to get some shut eye.

Well apparently this door doesn't swing both ways. Today, I finally had to get some photographic evidence of what can only be described as A MESS:
Mom has a 300 square foot stitching studio upstairs and she insists on spreading her stuff around like she owns the place or something. Charts and linen and threads and q-snaps everywhere. Geeze, Louise. What is a puppy to do?

So until she gets this mess cleaned up and under control, I am not allowing her to spend any time on the 'puter. I will be nice, however, and share with you a pic of what she worked on last night:This is Shepherd's Bush "Garden Gate". I know that Mom would want me to point out that the stitch that is second from the top is called Swedish Weaving and that she patted herself on the back so hard from figuring it out that she pulled a muscle. (I have no idea why she gets so proud of herself...the directions from SB were very easy to understand and I'm sure that even my stupid little cousin Bosco could have figured them out.) But I'll let her have her moment and will pass along all of your oooo's and aaaaah's.

That's the report from Chez Stewey today. I hope that you (and your loved ones with four legs) are having a splendid day!

    Ooooooh! Ahhhhhh! Love that pretty SB piece. And what mess are you talking about? It just looks like a big girl's playground.

    I think I have a serious case of "studio envy."
    Thanks for the update, Stewey.

    You know, Stewey, you could tell us that that's **your** stitching project, and we'd believe you. After all, you sound like you know your stitches, and your mom's not around right now to contradict you . . .

    Stewey dear, you'd probably die of a heart attack if you saw my house! In my experience, most crafters aren't *nearly* as tidy as your mom.

    Pass my praises on to mom on her beautiful SB start, too.

    P.S. It's so nice of you to wish my *kitties* a happy day. ;)

    That's what you call a mess? You must be joking! I thought it was a picture from a magazine!!! Love the SB - beautiful colors.

    Stewie, Please tell your mother that I just got done with my Swedish Weaving on my shepherd's bush piece to. I read the directions about a hundred times. I know I got it right but hers looks so much better than mine. By the way I wish I had that big of a studio because my things would be everywhere!

    Stewey, tell your mom that the SB piece looks great. I love the colors. My dog just rolls his eyes when I pull out my stitching for the night. The cats just run, they aren't allowed the stash

    Ummm... so what does it say about me that I gazed at that photo in envy before I read the post?? LOL!! Stewey is a great writer, btw. I wonder how big the keys on his keyboard are... :)

    Stewey what a great blogger you are. I have stomach ache from laughing so much! And to Stewey's mom - that SB looks amazing!

    Dear Stewey,

    That's not a mess - that's normal for us stitchers.

    Stewey, you are being over-sarcastic. Have you Mom send you to a stitchers' camp, and you'll see the difference and die to go back to a real tidy home.
    I quite like your paw writing though, so I'll be looking forward for some more.
