 Hi.  Received email about my Free page being flagged.  I closed all the pages and will check into a fix.  I would hope to save these charts, will update.

Next

 Probably.

I thought about Sherry's suggestion of a round frame for the Folk Art finish, found one on Amazon that I like.  The box top is much smaller of course, not sure yet.  But if I stitch again and change the fruit to a rich cranberry, different vase, I could have both.

I have been moving these small prints of Carole's every time I dust, do not want them.  She never framed or displayed, all from 1977.  Don Davey's San Francisco, the other set is Jane Hill.  I guess ebay.  Not worth much at all, but the last several times I took donations to my local place, it was horrible. 

I bought another pinch pot, love the wood from Tuckahoe.  So cute!

My biggest to my smallest.

Have a good day.

2026 Finish #20

Shakespeare's Peddler Folk Art Basket

46 count dyed by me with dmc

A few changes to fruit and basket, finished 3"x3" approximate

Considered a small square soft finish with corner tassels, and thought another Shaker box top would be nice.  Either way, it's darling.  Will decide when the mood hits.

 Be safe.

Behave.

Fruity

The fruits are done, added color to a few more.  Not changing the basket because I removed the stems, had enough.  The 934 with 3371 stems did not show at all so I stitched again with the 612.

It seems this higher 46 count doesn't distinguish subtle changes as on a 40 or 36.  The tiny stitches can't show as well unless consecutive or grouped.

Doctor said it's ok to take Jardiance when on a pump. Not the info I found, but he chose to follow the cardio's order.

And so it goes.  Why do I waste my time?

The grandson's GF is not leaving, and there are close to twenty unaltered females now.  Considering donating to agencies elsewhere since I haven't even received acknowledgment of the problem in any form of response.

Have a good one.

Doesn't make sense

But that's me and my stitch quirks.

The first is symmetry and moving elements in attempts to center.

The next is color.  Good grief, color.

More so in linen, but contrast within is important too.

This has mostly 610 and 612 in basket and fruit.  I switched to a very pale apricot and green for a little change from all beige, but the vase is looking too undefined in its pattern.  If I change the 612 to 613, that will make a huge difference.  But should I bother?  The chevron would stay as is, just the fill would change.

I most times put the work on a wall or cabinet and stand away since that proximity would be how it's seen when finished.  Silly, I know.

But these quirks are mild to my others!!

I am glad I questioned nephew's result of his cardio appointment.  I asked to see his blood work requisition.  And there it was.  Despite seeing the pump on his chest, discussing his issue with adhesive holding the pump on when sweating, and his record showing type 1, this doctor's diagnosis on all his paperwork is .... type 2 diabetes, start on jardiance.  I will be visiting their office tomorrow morning.  Nephew went to my cardio, trusts doctors, and being worried about his heart reports so far, would have taken the drug.  I hope he has learned that yes, in fact, his aunt does know everything and to never fully trust health info when it could kill you!

Week one.  Over and out.

I will be bitching for the rest of the month.

Bandit doesn't seem to care.

The pattern of errors

What the chart is ....

What mine is .....

And that's perfectly fine.  The first error was placement of color in the middle chevron.  The second was trying to center it.  The third was another attempt at symmetry, but during that, the wonk appeared.  To be fair, that top area was a real wonk to begin with.  So with a zig to my zag, it became another chevron, and thank goodness it's done. Very difficult to prevent errors in stitch placement on this 46, close in color to the floss.  The fruit/berries may need a color change because of this.

My nephew (and his son) are both under cardiologist care now, heart issues.  From stress?  None are minor.  But I'm shocked that he ordered jardiance for him when he is type 1 with a pump!  Is it safe because his pancreas is dead so that part of the drug won't affect him?  Regardless, I told him to check with his diabetes doc.  There are other drugs for heart failure.

The kids are growing up.

Enjoy your second week of AUGHust.
