Switcheroo

 How are you all?

I'm very upset about August's arrival, but some of you are excited about moving closer to Fall. 

So what have I switched in this piece?  

At the top tail of the right peacock is the same bird as is at the top left of the large center motif.  I moved the bottom bird to mirror the top so they flank the center.  The foliage to be stitched in the vase to its right will not interfere.  

The crown and bird positions were switched and I like it.  It fits better in that space, the bird was a little crowded.  The circle beneath the crown in the middle left may be changed to something else. I also flipped the left bottom crown to replace the year. 

Linen was cut to accommodate the entire chart so I can stitch the alpha if I choose.

Will these changes really matter on a drum?  Of course not!

Close to finish!

Have a great day.

Hold that spew

 Never ending conflicts. 

There is no doubt that this latest action, will create a disastrous situation in coming months.  But the person in charge of that action is oblivious.  I will need to walk softly or better yet, walk away.  It may be dry, but my mouth has excellent spewing power.

So.

I'm fairly sure a double checked border will replace the top alphabet row.  Nope, I am sure.  The dmc 301 used sparingly throughout as the only color, may be changed.

I had a "wing" at the corner of my upper eyelid from a liner tattoo many years ago.  The tiny line at the lash base was barely noticeable and faded long ago.  But that wing, still there.  So I went to the artist that did my hairless brows and asked for removal.  Sure.  It will only take a few seconds at a time, total maybe fifteen, so no Lidocaine cream would be necessary.  Uh huh.  OMG.  Excruciating fifteen seconds.  The method for such removal is the same as the needle injecting pigment for a tattoo, except saline is used in place of color to flush out the pigment.  It will come to the surface and create a sort of scab in a week.  Swelling and bruising is as bad as a black eye.  I am ordering Arnica bruise gel and Dermend to be picked up with a grocery order.  Love the convenience, hate having to pay with a card.  NOT a fan of credit, I don't like paying for something I used weeks earlier!  

That's my bitchin' for today.  

It's always something.

Enjoy yours.

And they are RED!

Muted

Really.

And so great.

Answering a previous comment, Whittaker is stuffed with basic poly fill after fusing lightweight interfacing to his back.

He and Paisley are dmc 712 for body.

Bye!

Kindred

Spirits, that is.

Blackbird Designs.

Started a few projects but when things go wrong at the beginning, set aside.  

This was a gift and I've loved it since first glimpse.

36 count Oaken, also gifted, and so grateful.

The DMC 3799 was too cold for me so it is now 3021.  Started at the drum's bottom because I may leave the top alphabet off.  Will decide later.

Although carefully, I walked too much Friday and am sorry I did. 

 Currently taking Cipro for an infection totally disregarded by my rheumatologist (pcp stepped in), and Augmentin for abscess and upcoming root canal.  Together.  Diarrhea and yeast at the same time!  What fun!

Hope your weekend is enjoyable.

Steps be damned

 Paisley was sad and I couldn't make her wait any longer.
