Hi folks. It's Sunday morning and I can barely swallow. Tested and negative so far, but since this started yesterday and more symptoms popped up today, I will continue testing.
My husband won some $$ golfing so I bought linen! Was considering a drive out to Shaker Woods which started yesterday but .... If I continue to be negative, maybe next weekend. The last time we were there was many years ago and hubs thinks it's about time I do something fun. We'll see. I wear a neck brace on longer rides because of my wonky vertebrae and need to remember who I lent it to. Uncomfortable, but it stabilizes and would prevent further movement toward the spinal cord. Both incidents of being hit by others happened within two miles of home. But they were in town on two lanes, not a major higher speed highway.

Ann is the only sampler I've been working on and I am very surprised (and a little concerned) that this 30 count requires my 4.0 glasses and the Dazor mag. I worked on 40 not that long ago and I'm almost afraid to pull out the 35 count in the kitted projects. I'm following the thread colors except for three so far and they are mainly adjustments for better show. The 3046 appears a little dull on this linen, the 3023 is barely visible, and 3033 is hardly seen and looks dirty.
The dividing band and letter N on the left are 3046 and the right is 676. Not much change except for a more clear yellow. The 3023 will now be 3022, and 822 shows much better than 3033. Very minor difference in these changes but enough to offer more clarity. The large area of blue in this piece may not be readable with the 927 used throughout. DMC 926 may be subbed but I need to see how well it will show.
Time for Tylenol and a nap.
Enjoy your day!

Yay! on the linen money...and hubby saying you need to do something fun....Boo hoo on the not feeling well. Hope it passes quickly. Yes, the subbed yellow is much more distinct. And hmmmm...that's how I stitch all the time (i.e., high-powered cheaters and a magnifying light to boot). Some linens are just strange... I'm always surprised when I stitch on 40ct and it is easier to see than a 32ct. ~Robin~
Wish you felt better but glad to hear you are still stitching even though you have some troubles seeing what's to be stitched. Maybe it's that particular linen causing troubles.
I think a day out would do you good! Always good hearing from you.
Love the colors of this sampler of Ann and the yellow is much better to see.
Sorry to say, but did you forgot a xstitch in the row above the first row of the alfabet? It's above the second C or was this in the chart?
Hope you don't mind me saying this....
Are you feeling better today-- wishing it is...
Take care and stay save.
Agree with Mark you deserve something for fun and a day out.
Happy day,Truus from Holland
Ann is looking lovely, Marly. I hope you continue to test negative and praying you feel much better soon.
So, so sorry you are unwell. My dil is also experiencing similar symptoms post-Covid. She remains negative as well. Darn virus keeps on giving like a tacky gift from a family member who visits regularly to make sure it is still hanging on your wall! (ask me how I know that one!)
I have been a Shaker Woods fan for decades and always come home with lots of stuff. My greatest purchase was a glorious handmade Windsor rocking chair. Another favorite is Pennsylvania Baskets. Oh, I have done damage there. Since I am unable to walk more than a few steps these days I will probably not get there. Boo-hoo.
Take care, hope you feel better, Ann is a beauty, love the yellow too.
Can you believe I have never been to Shaker Woods? I don't think it will happen this year either ;-(
I hope you feel better soon.
How nice of Mark to share his winnings with you! I bet you "need" linen like I "need" wool...lol!
So sorry you've had to postpone Shaker Woods because of being under par. Mark is a hero to endow part of his winnings, but then, you deserve the gift and love. Ann is looking lovely.. I find the LED bulbs not as bright and seem to cast shadows, but what do I know. I will not mention age regarding leaving higher linen count until another time.... Hope you continue testing negative and start feeling more perky.
