Wish me luck

Decided to try flat mount for the trio. 

I thought the wild fabric would be good for the backs but changed my mind.  It's hard to find black with a mini orange print so I tend to hoard, and this one will be used for the other smalls.  Kogut stars will work fine.

The witch's linen is a rich gold color, but looks much lighter and yellow in pics.

I'm having a difficult time finishing the floral basket.  Two symbols are very similar and I am not efficient at following intricate motifs.  No iPad to play with the stitching programs I've seen, but I can take a photo of the chart and enlarge on the tablet.  I use those static highlighters and move the screen to the row I'm stitching.  At first I would move the marker but that moved the screen too!  I eventually catch on.

 My hyaluronic injection (knee) this morning was half the pain of previous times.  This new young man is a dream come true.  I have been with him for a year now and insist on scheduling with him only.  The injections are so much easier, the result is always better, and he is as nice as he is professional.

That's all folks. Enjoy your day.

The pencil

The one at the right side of my text field as I type a post.  I thought it meant "edit", but it turns any word into a hyperlink.  It also covers your typing at the right edge which makes you try to move it, in turn turning on the links.  No way to remove it.  But now I know.

The new project is Fragments in Time 2023 Berlin Woolwork (<3x3 on 36).

My 830 is very close to the other browns so I changed to a green 936.  I don't plan on the white vertical rows of the background.

Cardio appt. was as always, order tests and monitor.  Unfortunately, they are no longer affiliated with the hospital that closed and reopened.  There is no cardiologist there, testing, or surgeries.  At one time, they did it all including bypass and valves.  The other hospital that I thought about switching to, is replacing their only cardiologist with a one week a month office.  Heart attack in need of immediate treatment?  Not here.  Not sure what to do.

We have an abundance of Hungarian wax and Inferno peppers.  Hubs cut, seeded, simmered with tomato sauce, Italian herbs, and garlic.  That wonderful mix and a strip of provolone will top our hot dogs tonight.  My mouth is so horrible, has been for weeks. Those dogs may be painful but I have a choice of dark chocolate or sour cream to calm the sparks.  Chocolate almond milk works also.

Sun is out, it's cool, I'm crabby.

Be safe.

Links

Deleted the post.  Google chose to auto generate highlighted links to a multitude of typed words.  In other words, LINEN in a sentence became a hyperlink to sites regarding linen, along with many other words.  I searched for a solution to stop this, nothing worked.  Posting this from a laptop to see if it happens here, maybe the tablet is infected.

Current project is another small that can easily extend my erroneous ways.  Chosen because it and this small piece of linen were handy, and I'm too lazy too browse for options.  But so far, I should have looked for a marking sampler! 

Hope this works without hyperlinks.

2025 Finish #24

Boom. 

40 count Water Lily with dmc.  Used white in place of ecru, 720 for 721, outline changed slightly.  And of course, the blue suede shoes.

You can do anything

but stay off of my blue suede shoes.

Finally

If you look at the prior post, you'll see his big eye on his fat head is down too far by two rows.  I counted from the orange instead of the black.  Until the other eye was stitched and fill in began, I didn't realize the error.  All removed, started over.  Then I confused the symbols and had the wrong colors, more do-overs.  But I have caught every offending stitch since.  Most all were over one or three linen threads, not two.  

Have I finally turned the corner?
