big difference.
This design is quite soft and the threads on my choice of linen are melting. Still considering the charted 371 instead of the pale gold for the sides of the house.
The bloom strip at the side was quite dull, and after a few do-overs, decided on the darker tan (3863), the pink (223), and the real change ... 720 for the centers. This small motif has changed the look and I am really pleased. Still soft, but more interesting. Is that the right description?
The top area's florals will also get this pop of 720 for centers and accent. This project just got more appealing for me.
I received my kidney test results and they improved and are good! Cholesterol was much higher and I need to ask if Meloxicam can possibly be involved, the only change. Probably not, but doesn't hurt to ask. A few other results are concerning but explainable.
Carole has been sick, bad cold/cough but negative. Her aide that is there all the time, ate with us, visits her dad daily. He's been sick also, and had/has covid so she was exposed before our dinner. Fingers crossed!
I put all the boxes with ornaments back into the attic. I'm done. Lights on the tree are enough, the two and three foot trees in every room are bare, plus a few bright poinsettias. Enough. Will that change before Christmas? Who knows.
Hope your week goes well.
Be safe!!

Marly, this sampler is just beautiful and your color changes are always perfect. I’m glad to hear that things are going better health wise and I’ll cross my fingers for you and your family not getting covid. I love the sounds of your simple decorating, but I just couldn’t do it! I’m in the middle of pulling out box after box and am pleading insanity! But, I love it once it’s all done! I hope you have time for serious stitching the rest of the week. Cherie in WI
Your sampler is lovely Marly - very soothing to look at it. I have not even thought of decorating! Maybe in a week or so. Don't know if we will do a regular, full, live tree this year. Mable... She was with us last year and we did not do a tree because we left town for Christmas. We shall see.....
So happy to hear your test results were good! Now you and Mark just need to stay healthy.
Trees with only lights are so pretty. I wish I could resist putting ornies on mine.
Your sampler is looking very pretty and just like the very old samplers with their soft colors.
Hope covid will stay far away from you and your family.
Take care and stay save, Truus from Holland
Marly I love that linen you're using for your sampler ~ and per-usual, your colors changes are spot on...cannot wait to see you finish this one!
:)
I'm happy to hear you had some good test results, Marly. I deal with high cholesterol as well and have been taking a tiny amount of statin (5mg/day) and it's really helped. Let's hope that Covid chooses not to infect your sister (or any of you!). Lovely sampler and changes--you definitely have an artist's eye for color! I tend to decorate more every other year--the year the boys are all here. And that's this year :)
