I am loving the large type easy to read pages. And page one is finished. I did change the 842 to 543 but all else is as charted. Never would I have thought to use this brash pink but oh my, it is fabulous. Many times the color in skein appears stronger than when it's incorporated into a design. Still bold, but somehow not offensive. Like some people.
The EF was to be rice stitch which I enjoy doing, but the time between reading the instructions and executing the piece was too long, and I forgot! I've made so many placement errors, having a really hard time visually on this WDW linen, mostly with the lighter thread.
There are tiny over one stitches throughout the tree to soften and round the inside corners, but I am not doing them except for the hanging fruit. Those tiny elements are much nicer with the over ones that round the shape.
Our family room and kitchen have "pot" lights throughout. I have a friend that would get excited and assume the term was a new delivery method. She can't live without it. Anyway, another term is canned lights but 40 years ago they were pot. Long metal straps between studs hold them securely and without removing the drywall, they aren't coming out. We found a replacement that is such an easy fix. LED that are very neat looking, sealed, with an option to change between five types of light. No wiring, they have a base that screws into the existing socket but the old metal liner and rim need to be removed. So glad we came across these before painting because that light will make a big difference in brightness.
And we may need a window replaced because I am fairly sure that's where this laptop is headed.
My bone head sister is refusing to get Covid tested after coming down with a terrible cold the day after a doctor visit and flu shot. I always keep her cabinet stocked with OTC products and know she had several bottles of cold meds but claims there are none, so Mark delivered a fresh supply. I tried to tell her that catching this early is key but she swears it's just a cold. Both of our parents were hard heads so there's not much wiggle room for reason.
Have a great day!

I have to say the pink in this sampler is just right, truthfully, I would probably have not chosen it. Glad you did, gives me a boost to try something different. I can always pick it out!
I really, really need to replace the can lights in my studio! Where did you find the replacements?
How cool you found an easy fix for the very 70's - 80's can lights!
It sounds like Carole comes by her stubbornness justly...lol!
I am not a pink fan...but it looks perfect.
I saw the pink and smiled big! ;)
Hoping and praying for Carole!!
Sure hope your sis will be okay! If it’s the C —early treatment us the key. I laughed out loud about the new window! I have a printer story!!!
LOVE the pink it is such a pretty colour. Stay safe love from Australia
I like the pink. I like the light fix too. Sorry about your sister's stubborness. I wouldn't hesitate in getting a test if I was even a little ill.
I'm not a "pink" person typically, but dang...that really works well. And you're just burning up the charts!! I have yet to pick up a needle, hook or punch...in weeks. Hope I am not heading into another untimely hiatus. Never heard the term "pot" light, but canned I have.... Used to shake my head in disgust at them...but have come to actually appreciate them.... unless they are rimmed in gaudy shiny gold yeah,...like the ones here at the lake LOL. (Yeah, I know that's coming in...but, hey...I started married life in the 80's and ain't buying into it)....I just had them painted black (or dark, dark, bronze....and they are more than tolerable. Hoping all it is for Carole is a cold...last thing she (or you) can probably deal with at this point. ~Robin~
