Hey. How the heck are you?
Hope you're doing well, comfortable, serene, not wanting to throw items through windows. Mine are still intact, but some days ..... getting close.
A bright spot is my luck in finding 36 count Winter Brew linen in stock. Love this non pink non green neutral. Not much left!
When browsing my charts, I saw this favorite. Recommended for this full coverage design is 40 count silk. My plan would be a dark linen to avoid that. Another option .... black perforated paper? Its 14 count would be much larger of course, but if that would allow a finish to enjoy instead of a chart in a drawer, something to consider.
Or dye a linen piece to a soft khaki green. But before a project is chosen, I need to make sure it wouldn't be set on fire at the first sign of trouble.
Spring is coming. Birds are strutting.
I've had problems with email programs for a while now, but as of the 1/31 windows update, Live Mail is not working at all, nothing coming through. What a mess. I have emails for Carole's accounts, our accounts, my brother's, and need a program where I can view all as Live allowed. So I have no choice but to log in to the provider for each email account until I find a suitable platform. My brother has been burning my toast with his incessant and obsessive calls, over and over, which has become the norm. Very frustrating.
Hope your week has been good, the coming weekend even better.

I love that Coverlet pattern - very cute. I think I'm only an hour or so away from Ye Old Cross Stitchery!! Once I am retired, I may need to make a trip over there....check out The Strawberry Sampler too - not as large as it used to be, but they have fabric. Only about 1/2 hour from me!
I thought I saw another place that got a shipment of Winter Brew in but can’t remember where?? Victorian Rose maybe?? I was too lazy to check if I have any in my stash still so didn’t order any. I’ll probably regret it…or forget that it was available and I didn’t. Either is an equal gamble these days. I love the needlebook pattern. I’ve not seen that before (that I remember at least). Can’t help with the mail thing as I am not sure what “Live” mail even is or what it is you’re trying to accomplish. I have an AOL account and a gmail account…Neither require a sign-in the way I have it set up so I just click on the icon and there the messages are. No further word on the black perforated paper….We’ll see. ~Robin~
Oh my. I love both of those patterns and need neither.
Marly, you could also paint a piece of 18-count white perforated paper with black for a smaller stitch. Happy Friday!
The Coverlet chart is very pretty and I love it,but wil not order it!
My stash is already to big to stitch all I have or I must be over 200 year old.
Have a peaceful weekend, Truus from Holland
