We have a bit of a mystery around here. When I came home from Florida there were 2 ties sitting on the table in the laundry room. One looked like my SIL would wear - very executive looking but along with it was a very unusual one that I took a pic of to show you. The mystery is my daughter (who unlike her Mother has a very good memory) says she did not put them there. Says she has never seen it before. Well I asked my son & DIL on the weekend if they had dropped them off and they both just laughed at me. Friends who know me know that I made a large wallhanging all out of silk ties and have used pieces in some of my other work - hence people giving me ties. They were the only ones in the house except the man that checks on it for us and he doesn't even know I sew. It is very unusual as you will see. It will solve itself sometime.

Time to go and catch the end of the Chicago-Philly hockey game. I guess you can take us out of Canada but you can't take the hockey out of our Canadian blood. Go Hawks.
