Finally finished with all the light outlines, windows, and trim on the house. Very difficult for me to see but I did it and will start on the dark roof tonight which will be so much easier for me.
And then I have a decision that you've been waiting for, on the edge of your seats, wondering when it will be announced. Today is the day. White Cotton is the paint that will take over the rest of the house, kitchen cabinets, shiplap, and any clothes I will be wearing at the time. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. And very pleased. It's not glaring white, it's not a bit of yellow, it's not pinky, it's perfect.
And for the last white, it's a dirty shame. Someone came running home full of mud. He must have been in a fight because he was rolled. Top of the head, face, and sides. He's been bathing for a while and cleaned up somewhat, but this poor boy is wanting to come inside more every day. What would happen? Missy smacks the crap out of him, Nit attacks when too close, and I can't anticipate their reaction if he enters their home space. But I still can't touch him! Would he start running inside to get away from me or the brats? He misses the family that dumped him.
To clarify my prior post about online classes, I was referring to my local school. They did not have to submit a plan until end of this week. The students were referred to online schooling that was available as a stand alone curriculum, no need for them to really be involved other than the weekly check in. I don't know what the new plan will be, but whatever it is, it's a little late.
I'm wondering if a prom will be held the end of June or mid summer. What about brides that planned for a year and right before the event had to postpone. So much is prepaid and trying to get another date will take quite some time. There were always weddings every weekend starting in early spring, a page in the local paper about the event with bride or couple photos, now you rarely see weddings.
Hope your week is starting well. We had another two deaths here from what we read. I had to do a shopping trip for Carole, the curb side pickup times are a week in advance and she couldn't wait that long. The few things I needed for us, I forgot. If it's not written on my note, it doesn't go into the cart. But I got toilet paper!
Stay safe everyone.

Marly, glad you decided on White Cotton, it will look great. Your samplers always look great too! Poor Petey, give them all a little more time, you might just have to try it and see what happens. I just want squeeze him. My fosters I adopted, my boy never purred, took him almost a year to start, I thought it was a distant airplane trying to start up and then I realized it was him, now he talks to me. Petey might end up being a lap cat. Hope all stay well!
If I lived alone, I would take Petey. Wish I could.
Poor Petey-that was a big fight!
Love your sampler and I admire your courage to still doing your stitching despite your bad eyes.
Here in the Netherlands the rules will be less-you can go again to the hairdresser, the children can go to school with just a few children not all of them at once. I am not happy with this--too early I think....
Stay save and healthy!!!

Breaks my heart to see Petey. Can't imagine what is going through his thoughts.
Having to wear masks and gloves and this weather is getting me down.
Can't imagine what the rest of the year will show us. If nothing else, it will be flexibility.
I wish I could wiggle my nose and make everything better for everyone, including Petey.
Take care, enjoy your stitching and painting.
Carole is so blessed to have a caring sister.
Hugs,

Poor Petey, who knows what the thought process of a cat is when it comes to people. I've had cats that will only allow you to touch and pick them up when I'm on the front porch, and run if I try to approach them when working in the yard. It's entirely possible that if he were allowed in the house, you'd be complaining you can't get any stitching done because he insists on being on your lap.
There are so many life events cancelled, some will probably never be rescheduled. With weddings, I wonder how many will proceed with a small ceremony and have the big party later. Sort of like so many obituaries that say private burial with celebration of life get together to be held at a later date. Hmmm, maybe not the best comparison - wedding and funeral. Tho I suspect there are those who would say it's a perfect comparison...
Poor kitty! Hope he is ok. Love your stitching Marly. You and Margaret are tempting me to get back to stitching!
Poor Petey, I feel so badly about him. All life today is an adjustment, weddings will be private and small. To me that would mean money saved. My heart does break for those who have died and cannot have family members around. They cannot even grieve together to tell lovely and sometimes funny stories at the funeral. Life indeed has changed we all need prospective, some people are complaining they can't go to buy beer and yet yesterday ( on the news) a 5 year old died from Covid 19. that is the real sadness. All be safe and stay well.
Poor Petey. Growing up I lived on a small farm and people were always dropping off cats. So sad to have their lives uprooted. I know to some they are just animals...sigh.
So many things have changed in the last couple of months. Heartbreaking for those with weddings planned, funerals and the list goes on. How many business and lives will be ruined forever? So sad.
Wowsers...you really are a fast stitcher...bad eyes or no. And you always make me want to stitch the pieces you do. Copycat Syndrome? I don't think so because, to date, I haven't yet...but you have an amazing way with needle and thread. I LOVE that white cotton... What brand is that now??? You're gonna make me second-guess my decisions LOL. Wanna adopt another sister??? Our pick-up slots are booked as fast as they open them...so I have to bite the bullet and enter the madness tomorrow. Hopefully no one will get hurt. ~Robin~
PS...Poor Petey...that breaks my heart...wish someone would dump the people who did that to him off in the middle of nowhere....like maybe Nod...in winter....(but not anywhere near me please)
