Thankful

Hiya.  Thank you so much for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and advice.  I thought it appropriate that Thankful Davis become my sampler choice.  I threw back a few sheets and found her with all the floss, ready to go.  Instead of suffocating on the horrific fumes, I sat outside and started the stitch. 

 I then realized my neck wasn't going to be cooperative but I couldn't wait to start.  Something tells me I'm going to love stitching this one.  This type of border is easy without a lot of color changes and small elements and won't be a problem at all.  This is all I could do without a break.  The linen is 28 count, unbleached, and feels like burlap.  That wonderful uneven brown tone that hides chocolate finger prints very well.  My kind of linen.
My floors are almost dry and I like them.  Not as amber as I expected, and the grain shows distinctly, not encased in the varnish.   A very close match to the existing floors.

Now the clean up begins.  The walls need painted, drywall sanded, baseboards installed, but one thing at a time.  The most inconvenient task is complete.  We're debating another finish coat, but maybe later.  He said a quick scuff and one coat will take no time at all.

I should be back to having good lighting and a comfortable seat tomorrow. 

 

Thanks for visiting and again, for your kindness!
