    My 39 yr old daughter climbed into her townhouse dumpster to rescue 3 skunk that she feeds and tries to play with. This is the honest to God truth.
    Helen is the best.

    My friend was going home to spend the night with me in college, and we were driving to my house about an hour away. We saw a dog in distress in a fence line and stopped to check on it. Bad move. The skunk promptly turned its back to us and let loose. Got the entire side of my car. I don’t remember it being on us…. But we went home, showered. Scrubbed the car as best as we could and showered again. I drove her to her college the next morning. She went back into her dorm and showered and changed clothes again. Said she walked into her first class and everyone got up and moved away from her. She was so embarrassed. Her backpack was the stinky holdout after all that showering. She eventually ended up throwing it out and just buying a new one. Couldn’t get the smell out.
    Love all your haul and WIPs. I feel like I get nothing done compared to you all!! Thanks for sharing with us ~Roxanne

    I love to see what you are stitching (or not stitching). My parents had a skunk family that lived under their carport for awhile. They used a company to trap the skunks and all were caught except for the dad. A couple of years later, the dad showed up with another family and they lived under the back patio until they were trapped. This was NOT in the country, but in a city in PA.

    A few years ago, my fearless Corgi, Willow, picked a fight with a skunk. I was clueless! So what did I do? Brought her in the house, got her wet, used my good towels to try to clean her up, did not have a drop of tomato juice in the house….what a mess! Not fun, even after a professional groomer cleaned her up, she still smelled for weeks! Not sure what was worse, the skunk smell or the stuff she used to clean her with!

    • @heidipugliese

      Corgis! Mine is so fearless. She leaps out of the back seat of my car and just trusts that I will catch her. Bless her heart. Corgis are such funny dogs. She is SO BOSSY. They call her the “sheriff” at her daycare. Love her to the moon and back!

    Oh my! Skunk! On our daughter’s 6th birthday, with a house full of 5/6 year olds and had a skunk come in our house! After Animal Control came and got it, we had to open the whole house and left for the day. We locked it up that night and 3 weeks and $10,000 later we were able to get back into the house!

    I watched a video that suggested washing the cardboard Aida with fabric softener…even putting it through the cycle twice…to make the fabric more stitch friendly. If I had some to try it on, I would…I am curious if it would work. Lots of fabulous finishes today ladies. Happy thanksgiving….when the snow arrives, the skunk goes to sleep.

It never sprayed anyone and we all loved it. I feed the skunks around here (we live in the country) much to my husbands dismay! The only thing I will not stitch is a snake. I hate them and am terrified of them! Can't even do pictures of them. Kathy...I scored a Hawk Run Hollow pattern at the second hand shop a couple of weeks ago for $4.00!!! I snatched it up right quick! Happy Thanksgiving gals!

    When I was teaching my son to drive. He thought it would be fun to hit a McDonald's bag in the middle of the road. As he approached the bag a skunk stepped out of the bag. It sprayed the front end of his car. He did not hit the skunk but his car smelled awful for weeks. Love your channel.

Helen D is so great. I have watched her stand-up tutorials, but haven’t dared to try it yet. I’m going to the Jingle Ball. It’s my first time. Eeek! Missy will stitch a skunk, but not a mouse?

    Yeah so glad you ladies are back! I love krenik too and beading is your easy and fun! I do make an entire x thru my beads though because I like them to stand up and not lean unless they look like they should! Make sure you use a beading needle! I tried a reg and yeah that didn’t work! 😂 lovely finishes and stitching ladies and have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍽
