AND THERE WAS PEACE IN THE KINGDOM AT LAST

The Happy Chair is back in place and all is well once again. Thanks to Aunt Chrissy and her considerable patience (and muscles), we managed to re-arrange all of the furniture one last time so that I could have a little sanity in an otherwise nutty little world.
We even managed to preserve a stitchy spot for when Aunt Chrissy comes for MooMoos, Mocktails, and Movies! This is much nicer than having to drag a chair, table, and lamp around before the festivities can begin.
I'm ready for the weekend, and it's only Thursday. I am envisioning something fabulous on the grill and about 75 hours of uninterrupted stitching time. I am hoping that I will be able to finish "Needlework Shop" today or tomorrow and then pick up a canvas piece for the weekend. I'm jonesing for a little Laura J. Perin action, or maybe I'll see if I can finish up "Wandering" by Kimberly.
Stewey did four loads of laundry yesterday, including all of his little stuffed toys that he's peed on, and then he swept and washed the floors. So today I'm overlooking the fact that he's glued to his perch rather than in the kitchen emptying the dishwasher.That's the report from Chez Spinster today. Here's hoping that your kingdom is peaceful too!

    I am soooooo happy for you. Peace reigns in the Happy Chair. :)

    Needlework shop looks fabulous. It should be finished in no time.

    I hope you gave Stewey a few extra yummies after all that hard work he did.

    LOL

    Glad you have your Happy Chair back in its proper space and its good that you made a spot for Aunt Chrissy to have a stitchy spot, too. Very happy to hear that peace reigns at Chez Spinster--wish that was the case for Chez Gherity's house, with hubby home, things have been crazy and I'm dying for some stitchy peace.

    Stewey is just so cute on his perch! I guess he likes to look out the window? Needlework shop looks very good.

    Great picture of Stewey. And on his "Prince" blanket, no less. He looks a little tired after all that housework while you and Aunt Chrissy were setting the house in order. Perhaps he needs some moo moos, mocktails and movies, too.

    Since you have the Happy Chair all cleaned and back in it's place, I guess I will have to find another home for the Big Chair....

    Ah, peace reigns supreme. Peace and Stewey, that is.

    You should be happy dancing in no time on your Needlework Shop. YGG! I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with stitching that causes a serious case of Stitch Ass. I'm hoping for the same for myself, only getting up to pick up more take away. Yeehaw!

    Can Stewey pop over and teach my dog that stuff? Then I will have more stitching time!

    Cute pic of Stewey.

    Dear Coni,

    I really enjoy reading your blog. The last couple of days I started at the very beginning. Would you mind sending me your email address? I have so much to say (only positive of course) it would be much too much for a comment.

    Well all I can say is AMEN! Having that chair in the garage was worrying the pee out of me! What a good boy Stewey is! Carmen says big hugs and sloppy kisses to him!

    Phew! I'm happy to know you're happy! (I kept thinking of you in that not-quite-right chair, knowing that things could not be all right with the world until your happy chair was back in its happy corner. Yay!

    So glad that the Happy Chair has returned to the kingdom. I was away for a few days and was so worried that things were still in a state of confusion at Chez Spinster.

    So glad to see the Happy Chair back in its proper place so that you could make such nice progress on the Needlework Shop. Tell me, is that a Longaberger basket I spy next to the Happy Chair? Sort of an interest, um, another obsession of mine.
