Anna & G On the Road: Jury Duty

It is the countdown to Christmas and all the stitchers of the world who celebrate are counting down with a build up of calluses on the tips of their fingers. I am in the same boat and yet I have been given a gift...a Jury Summons. Yep, jury duty in the middle of December The thing is, I believe it is the responsibility of every citizen to understand and participate in our judicial system. Our system of jury duty can be traced back to the Magna Carta and a right to a jury trial is granted to defendants to prevent oppression by the Government. With all that said...what is a stitcher to do in the middle of December on jury duty???

These type of events are exactly why I spend at least once a month on a prep day! Prepping projects for car rides, doctor's waiting rooms...and jury duty. I am NEVER caught with an empty hand. All I have to do is dig through my basket for just the right project, pack it up, and head off to the Court House. I highly recommend this way of controlling one's life and emotions, LOL. Scheduling a prep day means only one day of mess. I keep everything that is prepped in a laundry basket and depending on the mood, I know I can find just the right project to stitch. You'll have to check out my Instagram or Facebook page to see which project I decided to take :)

Be sure you hop on over to the Woolie blog where we are in the middle of the 12 Days of Christmas Give Aways.

Also have a treat of a video on the Quilt Roadies...Fabric Depot!!!

Enjoy the Christmas slide show of our local drug store...yep, drug store...can you believe it! Have a wonderful week!!!

Jury Duty at Christmastime.. . oh my. You are so smart to always be prepared with handwork Anna! Waiting around doing nothing is no fun and this way you are never bored.

My jury experience was that we were allowed to take no books, knitting, sewing, nothing but ourselves and ID.

I received my summons for December 20. I will not know for sure until evening before. Thank you for the info about hand sewing. I do red work or table toppers and this would work! Besides a book. I was picked 6 months ago and had a murder trial but settled out of court.i was very relieved. Thank you.

I feel for you! I just finished jury duty last week, which was a month-long murder trial. I had never served before and the thing that I wasn't prepared for was the hours of just waiting around outside of the courtroom. You are very smart to go prepared - as long as you can get everything through the metal detectors! Thank you for your insights and fabulous videos!

I'm always amazed when I go to smaller town the variety to behold in their drug stores. The one in Sisters always catches me in awe.

Hope you don't get reprimanded for stitching in the jury box Anna!
