That little PITA

Except for a few rows to add to the outline, he's done.  I added purple and a bowtie, a few changes to his clothes because I was weary, just did what I wanted.  And he's centered!  No idea how that happened, hard to count with these tiny stitches of hair-ish threads.

I now wish a larger finish was considered, maybe 30 or 32 count with two threads.  The three colorful characters in this chart would be great hanging on a door or cupboard knob.  I need to think about the other two and check sizing.

 Back at the greenhouse, there are two fertilizers he recommends for petunia and calibrachoa, all flowering plants.  Both contain iron necessary for tunias.


I have used Miracle Grow Bloom Booster and also Jack's Bloom Booster, totally different ingredient ratios from these, iron not offered.  Strange that my MG booster box is 10-52-10 but online claims 15-30-15.  One ad shows both percentages in the same description.  I guess research would offer the correct one for each flower, but I'm lazy and will just take his advice.

Haven't decided on lung scan yet.  My neighbor was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer eight months after a clear CT scan.  The nodule was not there in January.  Sharp pain and feeling breathless led to the second scan.  There is a procedure called cryoablation, that can freeze small nodules and GGO while also obtaining a sample, killing the cancer, that otherwise are too small to biopsy.  

Hope you have a pleasant day.

At this point, I'm likely to look for a sure-kill application vs. a blooming variety. We are soooo dry, and I am soooo tired of watering, deadheading, even thinking of plant tending. I really wanna be done. Maybe I shouldn't have even started. This lil' kitty is too stinking cute. Bone density and ct lung scan both weren't good on this end. Thinking I'd have been better off not knowing.
