Cigar?

 Or cannoli.

Which do you prefer?

At 4.5", a sweet little pillow?

Or something different in the bowl?

Too many options.

Back to the house

Finished the alphabet.  More than once.  I messed up the spacing between letters and had to remove the last two letters on each row.  The F is the only letter than is not perfectly set up for eyelet, only by two threads. Adding them to make a full eyelet did not cause the issue.  I did. 

But all done!  Moving to the house and as I tire of it, will work on the right side's tree.

Anxious to final finish that cigar and a few others, but not in this frame of mind.

Dinner was fine.  But I learned too much about Carole's house situation.  No amount of melatonin can help with sleep, once again.  And the palps are back.  Such is life.  But I am ready to blow.  Problem is, there is no solution.  None.

Enjoy your day folks.

Give that lady a cigar ( finish#29)

Just seemed the right finish and I hope to construct soon.

Busy day for a crabass, and company for dinner.  I feel bad that I no longer want to entertain, even two!  But I do not.

Have a good day.

Almost

Should finish this today.

40 count, called for colors, but where I wanted them.  No plans to stitch the three rowed outline border.

 *********** 

Soon

 I will leave this party.

Not easy for me but I will do it.

My sweet potato vines cut from this summer's display are doing great.  Trimmed the ends and they are branching out.  I did pot and use a few this past summer from the prior.

Still doing windows and outdoor lights.  I do dislike these onion lights, a real hassle to clean.  The post lantern is 22"tall and one of the largest available.  It's clean and ready to reinstallI.  Hubs put a new socket in and it will go over that candle base.  I've been wanting to change them but they are solid brass, black, needing touched up a little.  Could not ship them, no one around here would buy them, and when I checked current pricing..... omg.  I guess it's best to leave them here, next owner may be happy with them.

Have a good day folks.

Switch!

Finished one side of the alphabet, second page is only three letters long.  Shouldn't take much time to complete, then the trees and house.  (Whether old or new tablet, photos are really bad compared to what I see from phones)

But I need to switch to one of the other projects continuing my attempt to break monogamousity.

I wasn't loving my alpha bird that much, but now every time I see it, love it more.

Loads of leaves to pick up today, a daily task for weeks.  Snow covered them two days ago and the wind pushed them into piles quite high.  Sunny, also may get to wash the windows.

Some of us are still resisting the season change.  After temps in high 20's and snow, these revived tunias seem to have a strong will.

That lamp/magnifier in the shadow figure post is a Dazor from many decades ago.  My SIL's is a pinkish bronze, beautiful, purchased the same time.  My brother said I could have it.  I would like to get the LED light for it but it's costly.  Hubs may shorten the stand for me, but I would still like the more simple flexible arm model like Brightech.  Ordered one a few years ago on Amazon and it was rusted so back it went.

Enjoy your day.
