Meanwhile, the Prisoners Crocheted a Darling Rope Ladder From Their Cells (and Were Never Heard From Again)

I spotted this interesting tidbit (from the Des Moines Register) on Google today. The brief quote says it all:

A Dallas County jailer who was fired late last year for poor performance claimed she and her co-workers played computer games, watched DVDs
and did cross-stitch at work.


I hope the local cross stitch store is offering her a job. That pretty much describes the skill set for working with me, at least.

Alternate title for this Blog entry: Can My Kids Fire Me For This, Too?

Please excuse my delinquency in posting for the last week or so. School vacation took precedence over blogging.

Just think how many of us would be fired, the bright side is more time to stitch:) Only in Des Moines would you find such an article.

As a frequent visitor to Dallas, TX (I was born there) I hate to tell you that I know of only one cross stitch shop in the area and it is in Plano, TX, a close suburb. I now live in Houston, TX and there are no cross stitch stores in my area. Two have closed . I am stuck with the local craft stores (Michaels, Hobby Lobby) and usually have to order my cross stitch fix on-line. Not good when you run out of something special to finish a project!
