Stitching & Tornadoes

 This is January 23rd isn't it?  Once again Alabamians have been in the path of tornadoes. I was up all night watching our area newsman, James Span.  I mean from 11:00 pm till...he is still on the air with the destruction pictures. It is 73 degrees outside. Nice spring day IF, it was Spring.. It is Winter! It was scary last night, The wind was howling and James (weatherman) was saying where these tornadoes were hitting and what damage they were doing! It is something how much feedback they get now from their Weather Watchers out in the field. I mean as soon as he is saying that that tornado is bearing down on a town, someone on twitter or facebook is letting him know it hit a house or building and if anyone is injured. I was hoping everyone was awake and aware of what was going on.. They gave a Tornado Warning for the town my mom lives in.. I picked up that phone so fast and called her.. Get in your closet! She has this little closet in her hall, center of her house. Now she has to round up the cat, ( who weighs about 50lbs pounds!) get her purse, and cell phone.. But first she has to empty that closet out!!  In the mean time I have hung up with her so she could get it together and Raeanne ( my daughter) has called her checking on her.  I think Meme needed to get off the phone in get in her closet!!!  lol  We called back and she is fine, came close.
I have been watching the TV all morning. Only 2 lives so far.. 2 too many... They are thinking everyone else has been accounted for. It is sad with lost lives and destroyed homes and business. My prayers are with them.
I did get a lot of stitching done of the model stitch design.

I got this in the mail from Michelle at The Raspberry Rabbits, Home of Harrington and Hannah Bunnies. I am going to be trying to quilt my first ever quilt project with her. I do model stitching for Michelle also. I have never quilted.. She has started a new craft called Folk Art Fusion.  She is designing Blocks Of The Month (BOM) This year they are all about Harrington and Hannah, her Bunnies. I call it the Bunnies Of The Month Club!  lol  Check her web site out! She has cute designs!!!   http://www.theraspberryrabbits.com/
Going to wrap this post up.. My neck is killing me.. I think I had my neck all tensed last night while stitching. Ouch.... Till later....
