will be my project until linens are chosen. Almost all of the charts I showed are in bags with all the threads. I chose 46 count for a smaller tweet, and 221 to go with the mini red samplers. It's more difficult than previous 46 projects.
My linens are mostly all light neutrals but I can always dye a smidgen. I wanted the birdie on blue with ecru thread but the count was low. I could make other sizes and colors if this one turns out swell.
First days of November (AUGH!) and my close to death petunia that I chopped off several months ago is still in the pink. Not for much longer though.
Pink will still be visible in my yard. Taking no chances with this knee they insist needs replaced, I use that landscape marking paint to mark the roots that are hazards and can't be removed.
My almost cousin is doing marvelous. She has no pain! Not even from the sternotomy which really surprised me. She is in a rehab facility (where Carole stayed). Not permitted to rise from sitting using her arms. What? Who can do that at our age and she has ms! Veins and artery harvested for the quadruple bypass were taken from arms and chest, so those areas plus the sternum cannot take stress from lifting herself.
It's dark. I hate this time change.
Hope your week goes well.

That little birdie will be so cute. 46 count??? I found some 50 count linen in my stash and have no idea why I bought it! My eyes are not that great.
I'm glad you picked that one. It's my fav from your previous post.
This is going to be so tweet!! I've always loved redwork especially well. Great idea with the paint. Ick on the knee replacement. Are you going to do it? I just pulled the records from all of Little Crow's knee surgeries and prepared a summary (given that he's had so many and has had so many different drs involved) because it's becoming clear he doesn't have any choice but a replacement at this point. Sad as he is so young.
Such a cute chart of the bird...will be beautiful as ever.
Take care, Truus from Holland
So glad your cousin is doing well, Marly! That sounds like quite an extensive surgery--I wish her all the best going forward. And I'm definitely with you on these darker evenings... "only" 123 days until we move the clocks ahead again :)
