Closing in on finishing

for both. 

The steam from a test pot was caught and pulled in, just a few inches solved the problem.


And as I said .... love.

Also love these adjustable fans that I bought Carole and her great grands two years ago.  This one is hers, was to take to the hospital since she was overheated, but didn't make it.  Very quiet, hang, sit, swivel, 3 speeds, and 3 levels of light.  Rechargeable, perfect for a stroller, and a personal fan anywhere.



It's July.  Are you kidding me?

Tired of waiting

for Scott to return.

So .....



Got it?

The amount of stickiness we found when painting, led to a solution to direct more airflow into the exhaust.  This fan installation is shallow, not the standard depth, the fix will make a big difference. 

As soon as the poly dries, fingers crossed on the install.  Already have the valance cut out, ready to go.

Love!

So glad I decided to finish this series.  Loving this one.  No changes except for thread colors.

We stained the deck today, breaks and plenty of Tylenol with a water chaser.  Done.  

Now I can stitch this evening and this berry should not take long.  Easiest of the three for me.

Be safe!

2025 Finish #15

Quite a few changes.  Added the sepals, increased space between second and third row, left off the majority of floaters, added more to the top section, changed flower centers.


The light flowers were added to the top in an effort to align edge.  Not sure if I failed to construct properly, but the front area is much lower when sewn. The pattern offers a template which I used.



The black seeds .... nah.  Just seemed to add clutter.  

Will I do the third chart of blueberries?  Not sure.  I would really like an orange/bittersweet berry but don't know if I want to bother reworking the chart.

Continue to be surprised at the aftermath of this single root tooth that was loose (until he tried removing) and without infection.  Yoi.  She failed to call in my script for antibiotic, good thing I have leftovers to take.  As with most offices here, open three days a week and closes early.  Not in till monday. 


Enjoy your day folks.

Minor purchase, major happy

Hi folks.  

Had dental work done Tuesday, still swollen and bruised but feeling better.  Advil is my choice for inflammation and pain but I'm only permitted to take Tylenol.  Worked well enough, the worst is over.  Stitched a little last night on the berries, made minor changes in placement, but should have studied it more before starting the project.  It's fine, will finish soon.

Because of the enormous cost of the continuing dental work, and the sort of slump I'm in, no haul (as they say).  But I saw a project being worked on IG, loved it for a while, so ordered it along with two others.  Very reasonable price and shipping from Everything Cross Stitch.

Here they are...

Also WDW Mascara for the raven I plan to stitch.  It seemed to be mostly black online, GAST is a disappointment too often.

That's it!
Be safe, enjoy the last week of June!!!
