Stupid Guest Tricks

This is the blanket I made for Randy's parents. It's hanging up right now drying, and hopefully with any luck will be in the mail to them tomorrow.

It's a good sized afghan, white yarn made into puffy stitches- in my mind signifying clouds in Heaven and I attempted to make a little monorail and embroidered it on. Might be a little crooked but I am working with one eye and that has taken a toll on my skills. My family did a QC check for me and insisted it looks enough like a monorail to send.

I just hope that they know how much we'll miss Randy when they see it. I took the liberty of signing "Bru and all the regulars at SGT" on the card that I wrote to go in with it- which said that we will miss Randy a lot and that he will always be remembered, for his love of monorails, among many things.

I positioned "Monorail Gold" near the upper left side of the blanket- indicating Randy remains in our hearts. I explained that on the card too.

I just hope they like it. I wish there was more I could do. At least it's something.

Bru

Bru - that is a true gift from the heart. The afghan is beautiful with the monorail embroidered on and I'm sure Randy's family will treasure it always.

Bru, that is really beautiful. Thank you for signing it for us "regulars".

Bru, once again your generous heart has brought happiness to a sad situation. The blanket looks beautiful and that REALLY IS a monorail crocheted into that blanket! Randy is looking down from heaven and thanking you in spirit.

Thanks ktulu, Wazzup and KingdomKat. It's funny- usually I have a horrible time whenever I try to embroider anything onto a blanket with the yarn getting tangled as I'm sewing- but it did not do that this time. At the end, I looked up and said "Thanks, Randy," cause I definitely felt as if somebody was helping me!

I'm so glad my monorail looks like a monorail. My family is now asking me to work on a little 'sampler' for our wall in our kitchen with different colored ones. I told them when my eyes recover I'll think about it. I wish you could see the detail of the windows, I sewed black yarn in behind them and they look really 3 d up close.

If anyone would specifically like me to include them on the list of "regulars" I can add a second note in before I go to the PO tomorrow. Just post here.

ktulu- you're already there :)

Bru, could you please add Purpura and I to that list?

Again, thank you :)

Nice work!!

Bru- it is truly a work of art and I'm amazed at the monorail you added. If You want to put my name on the card too, that would be great, and mean a lot to me.
I will remember Randy everytime I ride the Monorail, and said a little tribute when I was at Disneyland last weekend.

that is so thoughtful, DisneyMom. . .

I've added you all to the card. I hope it'll help Randy's family to know how many friends he had here. . .sometimes the internet seems like such a shadow world, but times like this remind you just how real the people are, and you all are really sweet.
