Whew! Yesterday was HOT, HOT, HOT. When I came downstairs at 5:30 it was already 80 degrees. I think we are in for more of the same today. We do have a better chance (50%) of rain on Wednesday and Thursday - hoping for that. The lawn and the garden can use the moisture.
I did spend yesterday morning at my office. Longer than I expected/wanted, but it is what it is. I saw two people I hadn't seen since March - both had come in just to pick up some files and other things. Everyone was masked and everyone stayed very socially distanced. Found out that someone in my office did test positive for Covid 19. Of course they are not saying who. But, that individual has not been in the office for weeks and the last time they were in was before our office was "deep cleaned" - whatever that means.
Meanwhile, it is Tuesday which means TNT or Tiny Needle Tuesday. A little bit more was stitched on the Sailor's Huswife. The owls now appear to be in a tree!
Here's a close up of the tree:
There are more acorns on either side of the tree and then there will be two squirrels at the base of the tree. I'm loving the way this is coming together, so glad I dug this out of the many WIP to spend time on.
My guess is that today will be slow work-wise which is fine with me. I'd like some time to stitch and knit more. My peaches should be ripe by tomorrow, so I'll plan to make a pie then (maybe if we get some rain it could be a little cooler??).
Hope everyone's week is going well.
I love the owls and seeing how this piece looks even more impressive each week!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the cute owls, it is looking beautiful. I hope we get some much needed rain too. The peach pie sounds yummy. Take care, stay safe! Have a great day and week ahead.
We are crying for rain here. Everyone seems to be getting it but us.
ReplyDeleteThis needlework piece is just charming. I especially love the tree and all of its details. I'm looking forward to the squirrels, but I doubt they'll surpass those cute owls.
Love the TNT and thank you for reminding me to do TNT too!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love that tree!! That's a lot of progress.
ReplyDeleteI would love some rain too. Days and days of cool rain. It is way too hot. Out leaves are falling like it was October. What a weird year this has been.
80° at 5:30 AM!!? Noooo, thank you! The Sampler looks fantastic - love the tree, the owls, and the acorns.
ReplyDeleteI like your sampler. The owls are darling. I've brought my cast iron squirrel and bunny out to join us on the steps of the trailer. They used to sit on my woodstove in the house.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot here too. I'm ready for a bit cooler weather but not fall!
Another person at Dennis's office woke up with a fever and sore throat. He also got tested. I'm so over this virus.
Blessings,
Betsy
The sampler is growing--the owls are cute! We are pouring out now--I'm hoping it will cool us down for a bit but unfortunately it will raise the humidity level which is brutal, too! It's summer!
ReplyDeleteCozy Blue just sent out their latest kits. Your owls are great!
ReplyDeleteI love how this sampler is evolving! I'm curious as to how you'll use it, a pillow or framed on the wall? I hand sewed a liner in my needle book and put a felt page in, I started with white felt but it didn't jibe with the aged linen.. so ended up with red! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful stitching and what a nice project to be working on!!
