Embroidery

I did embroider today , the napkin for my friend. I was such a mess of nerves. I won't take someone else's precious only piece again. If it is not my own fabric it won't be done.  However it IS done.

I took the brown yarn back to Michael's  today and was able to get the second ball. I wrote to the company as it does no good to complain to clerks in the store. They are good people but of course do not know anything about the product.  The company  responded to me immediately which really impressed me. The reason is that the blended yarns ,special colours they call them, are more expensive to make so instead of raising the price of them they reduce the number of meters making the balls smaller. They said the stores prefer it that way, I guess so customers won't complain about the higher prices.  So if you are buying Wool-Ease check the yardage. I cannot say meterage. Oh there I said it!!  Still doesn't sound right to me. LOL.
Ah the eye specialist..... He looked in my good eye and said he thought there was the beginning of  Glaucoma and he wanted me to take a number of tests in six months assuming there will be more to see by then.   Not very good news but then Dr. Finlay said it is a slow mover and since I am getting on perhaps it won't bother me very much. Even he remarked about it being my good eye. The right eye has had several things done to it so it has its own issues. We call it my bad eye.  But for now I can see fine if I am not too tired.
And we went to Walmart again today for three things margarine, Tylenol and one other thing. Significantly we bought more than three things, those three items  cost $135. How can that be LOL. We just have to stay away from stores. They are just like casinos, except that you walk away with something in your buggy :)
By the way do not put WD 40 in your sewing room, you might mistake it for something else and use it on your machine not the blades which must be cleaned if you use WD40 on them, don't be silly Nan we all know that.
Rain all day today, dark and gloomy, a typical November day in Vancouver.  But still lots of colour on the streets, the leaves are falling and the streets are alive with colour both in the trees and on the ground.
The tree I out up on the right side of the page was so beautiful last week , full and very,very red. I have been meaning to take a photo all week but kept forgetting my camera. Today I remembered and you can see I was a bit late, most of the red is gone.Oh well next year.....
Will William and Kate announce their engagement soon. On the Queen's facebook page. Isn't life amazing.
Time to close folks. Have a lovely night stay warm and cozy.
Good night!
