Actual size is 13" x 19", 36 count, I paid $16.25 and that is your cost. I will pay shipping (US only). Either a check or online gift certificate from 123Stitch as payment. I have a piece of 14" x 18" Mayflower in 36 I may also be offering. Too much going on to think clearly! This linen's brown is taupe-ish and the mottling a very greenish brown. I don't want to mess with correcting to my preference.

Cousins from CA arriving today, my other cousin is still in hospital, another doesn't want to forfeit any lake days at their camp so will only be here to have dinner with them one day. So it's me. And they want to take the ride to visit sis also and need me to accompany them. Chris was told yesterday that the driver of their 4 day golf weekend has covid. It wasn't heatstroke, it was a fever!! Tested negative of course since it's only been a few days, he will continue to test daily, but he can't enter her facility until 10 days after exposure.

My Eastern Phoebes are ready to fly! So crowded in that nest and although I scrubbed the area clean after the first brood, another mossy mess was built the next day. Will there be a third? This is at my front door and very hard to scrub in that cramped corner.

Have a great day folks!

Sooo...you're supposed to entertain, take the gang to see Carole, AND cook dinner? I'd nix that in a hurry LOL. It would be dinner out on the way back from seeing Sissy. Maybe dessert back home. 😉 The red looks stunning Darhling.... I have a sneaky suspicion of what you may have done...as I have been known to work a few shenanigans on a few punched pieces here and there. Never was brave enough with stitching though. ~Robin~
Marly, I doubt that you would ever get kicked out of a stitch group! Your baby Phoebes are so cute! I finally had baby wrens this year after having a nest box for at least 8 yrs. I hope you have a nice visit with your cousins without a lot of work! Cherie in WI
Love the red you chose. Pretty for something for Christmas too !
Sweet little birds. They sure do find unusual places for their nests. Have had a lot of Cardinals this summer. Love them.
I hope your visit with cousins goes well without too much coming and going for you. Hoping you're feeling better now.. Bless your sweet husband, so thoughtful.
Would be John's and my 61st anniversary, today, the 14th.
Thinking of you !

Cute birds! I had barn swallows build nests on our porch columns. That was fine, messy, but OK and fun to watch them grow. Then they decided they wanted to build right above the door. I hang old CDs above the door to discourage that. It's worked for a couple of years to keep them from building. I wish they'd build on the columns again thought (don't tell DH I said that!).
Bummer on Chris's golf buddy taking him out of entertaining duties, and cousin expecting you to take them to Carole. At least there's only cooking for them for one meal? I hope so anyway.
I'm *really* curious on how you brightened the floss. All I can think of is a fast soak in a bit of bleach water. But wouldn't that move the red more to pink, not brighten it up? Besides, I don't think you'd be hesitant to say you dyed or bleached the floss and re-stitched that part. Or... based on Robin's comment... did you use a marker or something on the already stitched part? No shame in that! If so, I'm even more curious on what you used to brighten the color - again what I'd think to use would darken/dull or fade/lighten the colors, not make it brighter.
