I'm currently in California visiting one of my sisters. My dad & I went to the hardware store to get some things and while we were there he started having some problems--we thought it was heat stroke because he was light-headed and had been in the sun. Being 84, the store personnel called the paramedics and they ended up taking him to the hospital. Turns out he probably has diverticulitis or colitis but will be fine. *ANY*way, that's not the humorous part, obviously. When I called my sister and told her they were taking him to the hospital, she kindly thought about bringing my stitching (current project is Fairy Grandmother) for me to do while there. My other sister gathered up my stuff and brought it with. I opened it up and, knowing I needed to start a new color, I studied the pattern for awhile, then reached into my bag for my fabric and it wasn't there! LOL!!! Luckily, I had popped a smaller project, a lightswitch cover, into my bag so I was able to start that. I told her it was great for her to think of bringing it for me.
