Here is my weekly CHS stocking post late again. Does anyone have information on the scissors? I paid $5 for them at the flea market. I thought think they are very interesting. They have the center cut out and the ornate rollers on them.The rollers do not adjust the scissors so I wonder if they are just for decoration purposes, but if you know something about them I would be interested to know. They are marked Howard Cutlery Company, Germany. I also started Esther Yeakel, but not enough to show any real progress.
I traded some of my cherries for raspberries. I can't wait to make a cobbler. Now if I could just trade cherries for cross stitch supplies, that would be awesome! lol!
Friday brought lots of changes to my world. The lady that does payroll at my office resigned. She had a chance to advance to a new position. Although, I will miss her dearly, I am happy for her. She is such a hard worker and made the work place a fun atmosphere with her sense of humor.
On Saturday, the school corporation hosted a retirement party for Mr. Pride and his lovely wife Sara. Mr. Pride has served as superintendent for fifteen years at my school corporation. I have a lot of history with Mr. Pride. We have gone through two embezzlement cases, an IRS audit, not to mention all of the other regulation changes. I wish them both well on their new journeys.
My new boss will start on Wednesday. I am hoping for a smooth transition but with two key people leaving at the same time, I can't help but to feel a little stressed. I will be doing Mendy's job until they find someone else, hopefully it won't take too long.
I have a little teaser for the next post. It has to do with the movie Public Enemies about John Dillinger. I have some family history that involves him. No, we are not related but my aunt was working in one of the banks he robbed. More to come. Until, next time Happy Stitching!

Tan, your stocking is looking fabulous!! Congrats on trading the cherries for the berries, too funny! Now you know I can't trade you stash for cherries, but that said, you know if your freezer gets too full, I will definitely give some a good home in mine!:)
I know you must be stressed, that won't be easy, but keeping you in my prayers, that they know what a wonderful employee they have in you and give you a break soon!
Can't wait to hear your story, and I am thinking maybe the bank was in Greencastle? I know they 'visited' there on their crime spree!
Oooh, Tanya! Your stocking is looking gorgeous!! I wish you could find someone to trade cherries for x-stitch supplies - that'd be awesome!
Can't wait to hear more about Dillinger!
Your stocking is so pretty!!! Love those scissors too -- what a great find! I love fruit of any kind so cherries or raspberries, just send 'em over! lol! I hope your work transition isn't too stressful -- fingers crossed!
Your stocking is looking great!
I had to laugh about trading cherries for stitching supplies, that would be so great!
Hope things at work go smoothly, I think work stress is just the worst!
Looking forward to the bank story!
Have a happy Sunday!
I love watching your progress on the stocking. I'm sure that you'll have it finished by the end of summer, no problem.
Trading fruit for stash - how I wish we could do that! Would make for a great world.
And hope everything goes well with your new employees and their transition. It always takes time to get used to new people. Hopefully it won't take too long.
Your scissors look absolutely wonderful and a bargain for $5. German goods are Quality.
Great to see your stocking coming along nicely.
Hope your workload will not be to much of a burden.
Great progress on your stocking, Tanya! I hope things go smoothly for you at work. It sounds like you had a great party!
Your stocking is looking lovely, great progress. I hope work dosen't get too stressful
Hey there Tanya - my grandmother had a pair of scissors similiar to those with the cutout place and ball and she always referred to them as "buttonhole" scissors - now I wonder where those gems are? Her's were black and older looking or maybe just more well used - anyway - I sure would love to have them in my antique sewing table -
You hang in there at work - it's always hard to lose key people but things will fall into place. WHOOOOO - a new sampler start - have fun with that and your sampler stocking looks awesome - Melody
Your stocking is looking wonderful, another good progress.
Hope all goes well at work.

I do love Cobblers and I know your raspberry cobbler must have been delicious! :) I love those scissors... I do love collecting scissors and I just love the ornate antique ones, tho' I don't have any of those in my collection, *yet*! ;)
