Working on the primer chart with changes (of course). Should have been completed but ....
The last row will be solid fill with her name, I may add the date also, the two rows above that are left off. Small, very quick, quite similar to my favorite small of last year.
My aging brain was shocked when I realized Notforgotten Farms little thread pouch was not stitched in 2023 (another favorite small). Since I fail to add labels to posts, looking back for the year's finishes took some time. Where was that pouch? 2022!! Very hard to accept my sense of time is that bad. Vocabulary too! What the hell is happening? I wrote 2024 at the end of the date line on a load of personal checks, guaranteeing no flubs until I adjust to the change.
Now for the luck. Decided to change all bulbs to LED bright white from the soft white. Not the stark ultra or bluish daylight, the bright is mid range. Just grew tired of the warmer yellow, this bright is soft enough but whiter, without being harsh. While browsing that display, a man said "hey, you got old". As we turned to face him, after a few seconds I recognized the construction pro we had used a few decades ago. Wow! He got old too. So he spent time here yesterday (hours) catching up and we have an excellent knowledgeable pro now! YAY! He was working as the foreman for a large builder which is why we couldn't find him. Now on his own after major surgery (no more scaffolds and roof trusses), he will be fitting our projects into his schedule.
Someone asked for the source of Spring Green and Budding Twigs finishes in my 2023 recap. They are both in BBD's Ooh la la book.
Hope everyone is well and safe.
Happy 2024.

2014, so 10 years ago....good grief time flies~
It's it weird how things just turn. Now you have someone to get stuff done. I guess good thing come to those who wait. It's weird how you see someone from years ago and you think first, wow they look old, forgetting that you do too. It happens alot. LOL!Jen
I hope the guy carries through and you actually have someone who will do the job they say they will!!!
Hello Marly: Love the Spools bags very pretty.
I like the red samplers so pretty, I need to stitch something in red.
I hope this guy works out for you.

There are no coincidences... you found one another to the advantage of both.... Heave
a sigh of relief at having a trusty workman on your speed dial... a rarity these days. Speaking of memory .... I was going through boxes of Christmas cards received some years ago and was stunned that I could not match faces to some of the names or recall our connection. No one prepared me for that....
Your stitching is lovely and you are so quick with your stitching!
It takes me days to stitch a small chart about an inch wide and high.
The older I get,the more I forget.....well it is what it is....
Have a lovely day,Truus from Holland
Good morning ! I can't keep track of years anymore. My daughter has them "down pat", she's young !
I'm going, you know where, today. Wish I was going fishing instead.
I'm glad you have someone to help you with what needs to be done, even if you have
to wait a "minute".
Praying that 2024 will be good to you and your family.

Your mini sampler is looking fabulous, Marly. Love your spools pouch! I am glad you reconnected with your former construction person.
The reds are so pretty and I love your little pouch whenever you stitched it. I might go looking for that one!
How nice to ohave that workman back in your life! The little pouch is so cute and your mini sampler in red is beautiful.
That's so exciting that you reconnected with your old contractor/handyman. It's SO hard to find reliable people these days... Hope he gets everything on your list accomplished in no time flat!
Your pouch is darling. I have that chart and thread--just need to get going on it. Love the mini-sampler, too!
Well that is a stroke of luck indeed....yay you! When he is done there, can you please send him my way? Looking good in red.... ~Robin~
