Babe's Valentine Swag

Well, we heard all your requests and protests...

So, I roused the troops for a quick share of Babe's Valentine swag...

I mentioned earlier loving this Four Majors belt but, knowing Babe's fondness for sportin' ribbon had long ago waned, needlepoint was the obvious default...

I worked with a custom painter at The Village Ewe in Old G'wich emailing pics and requests and tweak after annoying tweak after just one more eensie tweak...

Including leaving a space for me to attempt Necessary-and-Proper's shmancy like monogram...

Et voilà!

We have the Masters, the US Open, the British Open, the PGA and thee Major himself all representin'...

 A king's ransom worth of Vineyard Silk later...

And, all that's left is for me to finish stitching my way through my not so li'l Christmas ornament project that that trouble maker over at Summer In Newport roped me into annnd Babe's belt should be completed just in time to be re gifted next Valentine's Day...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Ti-Babes were not handling the reemergence of the "paps" in their life and, in a page right outta Sean Penn's playbook, Dickie (nickname du jour) made a rude gesture...

And Lolly attacked the photog and her camera. Lucky pour moi there's documentation and I'm currently shopping lawyers. And, TMZ offers...

*FYI Anyone interested in the Four Majors needlepoint canvas can call Estelle at The Village Ewe and ask to have her painter pump out another one. It's $160 un-kitted and around another $75 kitted. I was surprised at the width but, she painted it to be rolled under when finishing which means no binding stitch is necessary. For you showoffs, I'm sure you can just enlarge my pics and count the stitches. Just give me a holler if you need me to email more closeups...

Kindness of Punxsutawney Phil for not seeing his shadow. Otherwise I'd be coming to you from a SAD rehab facility...XXOO
