Tiny Needle Tuesday 08/11/20

 Good Morning!


Welcome to Tuesday and Tiny Needle Tuesday where I talk about stitching.  I'm loving working on this sampler and enjoying seeing the (LARGE) flowers come to life.



The bottom left looks like the border is out of line, but it is just the way the fabric is stretched out.  My gosh!  There is an awful lot of green in this sampler (and three different shades so far in the flowers (stems/leaves) and border.  And, a lot of solid filling-in.


I just want to say that yesterday at work about did me in!  I am so not used to being in the office and it about drove me mad.  Pre-Covid I was at my office from 7:15 (or so) until 4:00 (or so).  Yesterday I got in around 8:15 and left by a little after 3.  I was exhausted and told Fletch I don't think I can ever go back to being in the office full time - lol.  Everyone who came for the meeting was masked and seats in the training room were spaced out to be actually more than 6' apart.  I'll find out later this a.m. how the dinner went last night.


Meanwhile, the left side of my face is swollen!  Yesterday my upper gum was very sore, but whatever "it" is has now moved up into my sinus cavity.  Some Advil and I'll be fine (if a bit mis-shapen!!).  I've had this issue before and am just glad that I am not flying anywhere today.


Well, time to get this published and get ready to go to the office.  Breakfast is being delivered by 7:30 and I need to be there for the caterer.  Luckily I should be able to leave by Noon today!


Hope your week is going well.

  1. That sampler is beautiful! I wonder what it is about being in the office now that is so tiring - maybe all the extra precautions? I hope you get home early today (and maybe in time for a nap).

  4. Ouch! A swollen face and travelling infection (?) does not sound nice at all. Fingers crossed it leaves quickly.

    After having summers off, I always came home exhausted every single day of the first week of teaching. For thirty years! It's hard to get back to the grind. My sympathies.

  11. Do care with going into the office. I wish you could just do virtual!
    I love your stitching. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do cross stitch on linen. I'm very dependent on aida cloth, which is definitely less classy. However, you inspired me to cross stitch without a hoop -- and I am loving it!

  12. Good job on your stitchery, it will be fun to see what else will be in it. I'm glad your company is taking the pandemic seriously and making sure you are all safe. I am just glad I'm retired. I'm such a homebody now I can't imagine being in a meeting. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
