Fabric and notions, framed finishes and those waiting, smalls piled up for the sewing machine, all on the second floor in a mishmash mess which I avoided because of my knee. Truth be told, I excel in procrastinating. Let me get to the point.
Since last summer, hubs was doing what he could to rid my mess in those two rooms since stairs were not manageable for me. To my surprise, he had covered several mounted samplers, the tiny red, and Lizzie (second one) beneath a piece of wool on a small table. Wondering what else I will find while shoveling through the room! So happy!
I also found the tiny cardinal chart I was missing, had planned to stitch again since my finish was offered in a giftaway.
The tall candle jar I knew was somewhere, and as expected, NWP 1836 1837 is a perfect wrap. A thin lining of cotton Warm & Natural and a padded lid is an option.
It's snowing. Freezing temps are expected, delivery and installation of patio door is tomorrow morning. Missy will not accept her litter box relocation and I will need to lock her in a bedroom with it for the week. How can I do that when she will not permit me to lift her? She welcomes and asks to be brushed while on her perch, but that is the only time we can get within a few feet of her. An attempt to slowly slip my hand around resulted in blood and painful scratches, and she is gone before a towel is even unfolded. Over ten years, and no spray or scent or catnip will calm her fear. Hopefully she will nap upstairs after breakfast and we can close the door.
Visiting Carole Monday after Scott leaves, we have food and goodies to take. She is doing well, but needs blood work done and I called several places, no options for having it drawn in home as they did for my mom when she was bedridden.
I have not been viewing, reading, or participating for a week or so, need to catch up. If I missed an email or message, so sorry, it was not intentional.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Spring is getting very close!

Awesome stash of finished projects!
What a nice find!! Love all your stitching Marly - so beautiful.
Glad to hear you found your missing pieces, Marly! Awesome!
What a relief to have found the missing projects! I hope the door replacement goes well and quickly.
You hit the motherlode in the lost and found. That is a LOT of stitches Girl... Wowza. If I didn't feel like a slacker before, I certainly do now. Hope things go ok with Missy. It takes a week to install the door or am I missing something again? Gonna be mighty cold with no door for a week. Cold and snowy again here in Nod too. ~Robin~
Ask your vet for the loan of a pair of their gauntlets. Any reputable vet clinic has at least one pair, and if you explain you need to corral a reactive rescue cat, any decent vet will loan them to you temporarily.
The stitching is very pretty, what a fun treasure find! I love that primitive cardinal.
There are a lot of finished stitchings and the candle jar will be great with a lit on top.
Poor Missy and perhaps you can ask your vet for something to calm her so you can move her to the bedroom. Hope all goes well with Missy and replacing the door.
Take care, Truus from Holland
What a treasure trove of cross stitch. Makes my little pile of cross stitch look totally pathetic.
I hope home repairs go smoothly ;-)
How exciting to find that pile again!!!!
Yay, you found your treasure! Better than a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
