Hannah & Missy

I think a change is coming.  The bottom area may become 3830 rather than charted 221.  Just a gorgeous color.

I may be boring you with videos while I learn the tricks of this tablet.  This one is 1:1 (?) and has horizontal borders, the other had vertical.  I wish written manuals still came with products.

These galvanized tubs angled for access are rain huts for the brats.  They are under them often and seem to love them.  

I can't figure out how to size photos and videos for upload, I don't know if size is still counted for storage limits.

Hope your weekend is enjoyable.  I'm in mourning as we close out August.

Yes, it's really me

With a new attitude.  For now.  We'll see how it goes, no promises.

Eyelet stitches create interest in a marking sampler, a break from the standard alphabet.  But I don't like stitching them all the way to Z.  I considered changing the dividing band to rice or regular but I resisted.  I'm following the chart.  That hurt a little to say.  

I can't reply to you Pam and I'm sorry I can't help with the linen.  I know it's natural, raw, unbleached, but depending on the maker, they are all different.  This is medium to light natural.

And for some reason I am getting a "whoops" error message when trying to comment on blogs.  My second attempt claims it was posted but I don't see it.  I am also not getting all emails.  My laptop died and I don't have all the settings on my tablet chosen.  So different from a computer and I will be buying another.  The Lenovo with its erratic touchpad was given to a friend rather than thrown out the window.  See?  New attitude.

Hope your week went well.

Well I'll bee

It's not a bee.  Flitting from flower to flower I assumed it was, but this is a fly.  Solid shiny black, smaller than a carpenter bee, a bit smaller than a bumblebee.  It doesn't hover as bees do, flies like a fly, looks like a fly, acts like a bee.  Never saw a butt this size or one that loves flowers like this guy.  In all the years my big butt has been sitting outside,  I've never seen one.

You can get so excited over the littlest things during a pandemic.  Flies with big butts.

Colors of Hannah

As charted!  That's new for me but so far, nothing I would change.  Almost switched the 642 which is close to the linen color but decided to be mellow and accept it.  Chart calls for Ale but I am happy with this lighter unbleached. 

Index finger is numb today so progress is stalled. 

Have a great day folks.

Oh Michael

You're killing me.  I decided to order online for an in store pickup at the Ohio store and found it in stock.  Not only in Niles, but also in Hermitage (my store).  Why didn't I find it?  So I put it in the cart along with several others I needed for these projects, and went to pick them up this afternoon.  Of course, there was one I failed to order and had to look for it myself.  On closer inspection, I found more reasons why it's so difficult to get what I need. 

I assumed these bins were a different type of floss since they are minus the color number.  Nope.  There is another section marked 56 cents (they are 62), no identifying color numbers, not specialty thread, standard cotton DMC.  In no order.  You have to crunch down (literally as that was the sound my body was making) and with magnifiers to find the color number on the label.   Maybe these bins were for a metallic or variegated at some point, but I didn't see anything by good ol' cotton.

Then there's this area.

And this one with random numbers and no bin tags at all.

So from now on, I will order online and have them search.  They found my colors, so they must have a secret system not shared with customers.  I am grateful for that, because I have all the colors I need for all the projects.  Sure I do.  There's always that one, isn't there?

I need a nap.
