While I'm waiting

 for bigger projects to be kitted, the new Gigi R I showed with a boatload of colors is on deck.  I didn't even know I had Two by Julia since my memory is terrible, and after studying the charts, both will be worked on with the Little Dutch.  Three.  THREE.  I'm becoming fearless at 71.  Nah.  I just want to see how I handle several ongoing projects before I attempt this with the larger samplers.  All small, none complicated, and I have a feeling that Julia's will be fabulous in person.  I don't care for the photos and will probably jazz the colors a bit.

We'll see how this goes!  I've been a mono stitcher since I started.

My peeps and I enjoyed a snack this morning.  That silver tube on the bird feeder shepherd's hook is very effective in preventing climbers.  It is that cheap vent pipe that comes apart, put the two sides over the pole and bend the seam over to close.  Not a problem since.  We have dozens of squirrels this year.

When the poults run it reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park.

Tomorrow is flosstube day and I can't believe two weeks have already passed since watching my favorites.

Still feeling weak and weird, can't get in for another two weeks, heart angio scheduled for September.  Would be nice to test my reaction to the dye beforehand so I know if I will again have a problem, but they never do that.  

No landscaper, still no ramp.  Husband could do it if he has guidelines and specs, but we've done enough and his shoulders, knees, and back are not for lease.  I understand how backed up projects are for these contractors, but I hired the landscape company last fall after the sewer project tore up my yard.  He was to come out early spring, but small jobs aren't top priority I guess.

Enjoy your weekend.

p.s. Gail - not sure but Spools linen may be leftover Oatmeal (Colour and Cotton) from Petite.
