Well, it was a long day, and not without a few glitches, which HAD to be solved. But the good news is that everything got done! I even used up all the extra samples I had made the day before. I wasn't sure I would use them, but I did!
Everything for Project Two is tagged, bagged, and labeled. It's all packed and ready to go to the airport early in the morning.
So, my original plan to take a carry-on didn't happen. As I set aside stuff to take, I wondered how many pairs of scissors and other potential "lethal weapons" one could get away with in security. I decided not to risk it and checked my luggage. Well, imagine my surprise when I needed a larger suitcase than a carry-on to put everything in! Over thirty pounds of stuff for two projects!
But we must remember that there are MANY iterations of those projects, and there are a few outfits for them to choose from. Yes, I don't get to decide what to wear. I take several options and the producer picks!
I sent a few emails tonight, and I'll have some time tomorrow afternoon to send more. However, I have a side trip planned for tomorrow, which is why I'm leaving at the crack of dawn (OK—before the crack of dawn).
But it feels good to have all that done—I knew it would happen, but even my last minuteness scares me sometimes. The little hiccups? Well, I found a workaround, but now I need to investigate more, and I will confess at one point. I thought I had killed one of my embroidery machines. Thankfully, it's OK.
There's nothing like pushing these machines to their limits, and I found that limit today. Now, I want to know more about how the machine knew it had reached its limit. Can we do anything to help it conquer those limits?
So those girls were beyond themselves this morning. When I returned from the gym, the two were outside rabbit hunting. There was at least one under the deck, and the girls were NOT giving up. The way they ran around, you would think there was a herd of rabbits.

Eventually, they gave up, but that rabbit entertained them for hours! I hope the rabbit disappears quickly or finds a new place to stay. But I doubt it—our neighborhood is swarming with the darn things—where the heck are those coyotes? Or the fox? Or the hawks?
This morning, I spotted two rabbits on the neighbor's lawn. Cute? Maybe, but they are a significant pest. They need to be culled. Don't get squeamish—it's the circle of life!
Lexi is doing her part to give them something to line their winter nests. This is the pile of fur in the forest at our grooming spot. The pile is now almost as big as she is!!!!

Oh boy -- this was the quote in my teabag this morning. How true is this! It happens in all walks of life!
