TSS Mission Update

Mini Schnauzers with liver disease and diabetes

Julie holds Taz (diabetic) and Jeff holds Jojo (liver disease)

Once upon a time the 27 foot  travel trailer I am living in actually traveled!  Sadly, the person who sold it to us was a crook.  We told him what we wanted to do.  He sold us this trailer.  This trailer was actually meant for the weekend camper, not for traveling in a trailer!  We learned this from repairmen and others who had had similar experiences.

What does that have to do with the TSS Mission?  Everything!

Since we are no longer traveling I’m not getting to visit anything but online shops.  It’s not the same.  At all.  I’d rather spend my time stitching.

I’ve given this quite a bit of thought.  I have played with changing the name.  I don’t want to do that as it has become part of me.  I have decided to develop a questionnaire for designers from around the world who participate in some of the lists that I belong to.  I will ask the questions I ask when I have visited shops.  And more.  The questionnaire is currently being developed.

“So what?!” you might ask.

So, I would like your input.  Specifically this:

  1. What are the questions you would like to ask your favorite designer?
  2. Who are your favorite designers?
  3. What is YOUR favorite stitch—either canvas or embroidery?  And what color should it be in?  What fiber?

Just note your responses in a comment.  Or if you wish to offer your thoughts more privately, you can use this contact form which will be delivered to my email.  Thanks for your time and your help!

ps  I remain quite busy with health issues…my Jeff needs to have rotator cuff surgery and to have an internal electronic defibrillator connected to his heart.  One pup has developed chronic liver disease and the other has just been diagnosed as a diabetic .  One is settled in her new diet, but the diabetic is really struggling.  I worry she won’t make it, but she’s a tough little Fraulein so I’m betting on her.
