And now the blue

 Recommended conversion is DMC 926, I think a darker blue will look great with the very light floral above.  One is 3768, the other 924.  Both are good, I'll decide later.

I noticed an extra stitch mid-way in the skirt on the left, but that is charted.  Following my need for symmetry, I'll add one on the right.  Really enjoying this design.

Wonderful dinner out with cousins.  He is so great and his wife could not be sweeter.  We are going Italian again on Saturday, I just get sherbet since food is a problem for me and that's fine.  What to serve here Sunday hasn't been talked about yet.

I discovered that tunics can hide thighs, but holy hotcakes don't get a mirror to look at your backside!  It's like a tent.  An A-frame style.  I knew I had to lose weight but had no idea how wide my load is from the back.  I can wear a tank with an open tunic creating three vertical lines which breaks up width, but that thigh length solid fabric on the back needs a jackhammer to break that width.  MUST lose.  

What a difference in sun exposure with the tree gone. 

Have a good day folks

Hi Marly: I hope your day is going well.
You have made great progress; the red is perfect thread color.
Love your garden.
You made me giggle so much with your tent comment, we had a security system put on the outside of our home, I almost fell over when I saw my backside going away while walking my dogs, I am in need of a full body reduction, I almost thought it was someone else walking my dogs.
Have a great day.

Your garden, lawn, swing, flowers........a beautiful sight to see with the sun shining.
Glad you're having a good time with your cousins. Enjoy the weekend.

Yeah, I'm afraid to check my back view. Front and side are scary enough, not to mention the number on the scale.
I'm still not used to how much lighter our living room is on summer mornings after the top bits of a tree got taken out by the derecho in 2020. I guess I should be thankful I didn't have much for shade gardens that were suddenly full sun. I hope it's not too much of a shock to your lovely plants. Total bummer your tree had to go, but better it being under somewhat controlled conditions, not crashing down on your house.
I'm glad your visit with the cousins is going well.

Tree or no tree, that space is wonderful. I like both blues too...but my eye is drawn to the darker. LOL on the view from the back. I only wish I had a backside. Then again, I have taken up making homemade ice creams and sorbets...so that may very well change. ~Robin~
