Our little Georgia finally succumbed to whatever illness she had yesterday. Josh didn't want to have anything to do with the burial so I took care of it while he was at school. It's funny she was a gecko. She wasn't warm and cuddley and not particulary anxious to get out of the cage and spend time with us. In fact, she was a little spaz case, every time we took her out. Somehow, though she got a bit of our hearts and we were sad to see her go. Thankfully, Savannah is healthy and happy and is quite curious as to why she can no longer see a cage next to hers.
Have you ever lost a needle that you just loved? I had that happen to me a few years ago when I lost a golden needle that I won as a door prize. I figured that a needle is a needle and it is ridiculous to get hung up on a particular one. Well, shortly before finishing off Lizzie Kate, I lost my last petite. Finishing off that project and the few little gifties I was working on has been a pain. My "normal" needles all feel so huge (except for the eye, LOL). I didn't want to work on the Red Thread piece again until I had another John James petite. I finally got one, and let me tell you, it just glides through the fabric. I'm enjoying stitching again so much more! I cannot believe how out of sorts I felt with those other needles. Funny, when I first tried the petites, I thought that they were rather small. Now that I've got my groove back, I should soon have some pictures of progress on the Red Thread piece. I think I'm going to have to set up a rotation so some of these WIPS will start to show some progress.
Speaking of LK, has anyone heard that she is doing another Double Flip series with a Halloween theme for 2009. I've checked her site and don't see it, but it sound intriguing. I know a few Halloween buffs.
Chiloe is having a drawing for her 600th post. You can go here to enter.
Cheers,

You have been tagged, the instructions are on my blog.
I'm so sorry to hear about Georgia, sounds like it was a blessing though at the end. Hopefully Savannah won't miss her to much.
I don't think I've ever worked with a petite needle, just the regular size ones. Did you have to order some more petites? Or, did one of the shops around you have some? Glad your stitching is moving along, looking forward to seeing your updates when you can post them. I saw the write up Deb had in her latest newsletter on the Halloween flips, they sound like they are going to be adorable.
