Visited Michael's to purchase paint for the boxes and found out my favorite brown in Folk Art brand is no longer. When it was Pat Catan's the store always had a good amount of shoppers. Yesterday and today, very few, only one checkout for sales, returns, exchanges. My favorite clerks were missing and I sure do miss the selections and size of Catan's. I should take the time to familiarize myself with the layout and products, even though their prices are quite a bit higher. Catan's did not offer coupons, every day was 40% off!
I mixed my own paint color and got a few done except for waxing. I'm thinking of keeping two or three for myself so I only have two more to paint and label. I didn't bother searching for additional label designs since these worked out and are the last few.
Waiting for 123 to offer the market charts since I have a GC there, not sure if they will have Becky's sampler so I keep checking her Etsy shop.
Nitzy's ear looks better! Really surprised at this. It was so ugly and I did get the topical on it twice daily but he kept scratching it whenever it started to heal. It is finally closed and not bleeding so I'm using my Cerave healing salve to keep it moist so the scab doesn't get itchy.
Hope to return to stitching tomorrow. It rained all day, no sun, so the eyes are better. My sister is having very brief episodes of double vision and her docs have no idea of the cause. Checks her pressure, low as always, eye doctor has no answer. Next week's Cleveland visit will not be a snow day according to the forecast, but I am having my varicose veins done the day before so I may not be very comfortable in the car that long. Or out of it.
Hope the week is going swell!
Thanks for visiting.

I'm with you on change, Marly... I so miss Pat Catan's--and ours totally closed, they didn't even turn it into a Michaels which means I have to drive 20 minutes just to pick up a skein of DMC!
That aside--your boxes look just beautiful! And I definitely think you should keep a few for yourself :)
Good luck next week with Carole's eye issue and your legs. Me? I'm heading to El Paso for my dear daughter-in-law's mother's funeral. Gone at only 72. You never know what lies around the corner, do you? Take care now!
Your boxes are so nice Marly. Sending good wishes for both you and your sister. Take care.
Your boxes are so pretty! Good luck with the doctors ahead. Hope all goes well. Just curious -- did you watch Fiber Talk's videos from market? Admittedly I didn't. lol! I watched the first and wasn't interested in what they were showing so stopped. But they seem to have several videos up. So who knows! Hope you get to buy all your want!
Don't have to tell you that I am keeping my eyes peeled for the Box sale...
Hope medical appointments for you and Carole go well...Please take care to
avoid any exposure that might be risky. Praying you through....
I really treasure the boxes that I have from you.
The boxes look great.
I wish the shipping made more sense, why cheap craptastic items from overseas gets free shipping and individuals here have to pay huge prices is nuts. Pat Catan's was never in our area, so Michaels is all I know. And Hobby Lobby, but I don't go there. And trying to find what I want at Michaels, GAH!. It's no wonder so many order on-line now, whether from internet stores or using the order-filling service and you pick it up at the door.
I'm glad your eyes gave you a couple of good days, and Nitzy's ear is on the mend, and hope they figure out Carole's vision thing. Wishing you well on the leg work!
