Counting

I can do that.

But counting linen threads and graphs is a problem

This damn tree gave me fits, even with my Line-a-Timer.  Enlarged the chart, symbols are clear, yet I continually counted incorrectly.  Finally done with the 3012, time for the 936.  Well that didn't work out either.  Did not like those greens together, removed and changed to 3051.  

Considering a deeper shade of red for the house instead of the light gold.

Hubs cut a board similar to the ladder step, less height and thickness.  I prefer the step, but would rather it be eye level somewhere, with hooks or not.  Hate to cover it with pots but may use it anyway.  Either will work.

Toots is snoozing again in the final days of summer.  But I'm not sleeping and my right leg is aching enough to keep me awake.  Who knows why.

Google won't offer help to change their error unless I make my blog available to their search console and other search engines.  Did not want to do that, but did, now waiting for their fix.

Have a good day.

Too much?

Starting to get rid of excess and choosing wall decor.  I haven't made a nail hole since we painted, walls are bare.  I like it.  

This old wood was a step from a ladder, the rope went through those side holes, it is very heavy.  Why the hell did I only purchase one?   Anyway, hubs would like a little black chandelier in place of the recessed light (adapter kits allow all sorts of things not possible years ago), but that would throw the light upward rather than over the sink.  

I was thinking of having the board installed on the wall above the window ( height fits perfectly), and use large iron hooks to hang these two copper pots. 

The pots would reach over the window trim board but not the glass area.  Hanging from ceiling with black hooks would look odd I think.

I have more that are much too large to hang.  The old dark wood and copper will look good?  Or too heavy?  Maybe make a board with less height, just along the ceiling.  I'll stick two board sizes up with the pots, holes will be covered unless I decide against it. Easy small area to patch, no harm done.  

Be safe folks.

Google did it

Hi folks.  I checked into the red flag issue on the Free page and the entire account.   It's safe, no threats.  Google had an major issue that flagged hundreds of blogs as malicious that are not.  Seems something as simple as a copyright symbol caused the flag.  I saved, cleaned for no reason, ran scans, will bring them back hopefully in tact.

And this is the new project.

Notice the error?  I knew the border pattern, but was distracted and obviously failed to stitch as charted.  It's fine, will either follow it or correctly stitch the upper part of it.

Enjoy what's left of summer.

Tootsie is.

Closed

 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.
