Tiny Needle Tuesday 12/8/20

 Hello, Hello!

It is later than I usually post, but I got up early and drove in to my office this morning.  There are a few more people than usual in today, but everyone is (more than) social distancing and wearing masks.  It actually doesn't feel so creepy being here today.  I managed to print a bazillion things for Bill (who is also here doing some zoom calls), and got all my packages taped and UPS-labeled ready to go out today.  Also a couple of packages that Bill needed shipped out.

My drive in this morning was pleasant.  I had to take a little detour and not go through Valley Forge Park (there were some fire engines blocking the road I would go down to enter the Park...hopefully nothing too major).  So I wound my way past a horse farm and many of the horses were out in the fields already - all of them blanketed (it was right around 32 degrees).  Such a pretty scene.  If it wasn't such a narrow and winding road, I would have pulled over for a picture or two.

Meanwhile, it is Tiny Needle Tuesday and a little progress was made on the Quaker sampler I'm stitching:


The left border is now complete and the beginning of the bottom border is finished.  Still a VERY long way to go, but progress nonetheless.  There are, of course, plenty more animals and trees and leaves to be stitched along with the letters sprinkled throughout the sampler.  Luckily I am still having fun with it and enjoying the stitching.  I'm thinking I should be able to get a lot accomplished over the holidays as work will be quiet (fingers crossed) and we won't be going out anywhere (other than to Colin & Mailing's and to Mailing's parents on Christmas day).

Well, time to get back to work!  Hope your week is going well.

  1. Heyyyyyyyy.....you didn't get me a picture of the fire trucks?????

    The thing I like about your stitching project is that each little thing is something new. It's like a fresh project with each new shape.

  3. Hello,

    It is nice seeing your progress on the sampler, the border is pretty. It is cold and windy again today, at least the sun is shining. Have a happy day!

  4. I always try to guess what you've stitched each week when you do TNT, and I was right today! The sampler looks lovely no matter how long it takes.

  5. One of the things I think I'm most enjoying about watching you work on this is that I never have any idea what's coming next!

  7. Good morning Vera. I'm glad you're having a good day at work. Your drive to work sounds like it would be a very pleasant one...Valley Forge Park or a Horse Farm? It would be hard to choose. I, too, hope the fire trucks weren't a sign of anything serious.
    That sampler is always such a fun thing to see and try to figure out what might be next. I've never seen one like it.
    Have a great afternoon and be careful.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  8. I really like that there are a bunch of little things so you can finish something! I'm now in a 'it will never be finished or make any sense' place on the one I'm working on!

  12. You Quaker sampler is gorgeous. I love to see the horses. There are so many opinions about blankets and no blankets . Our stable horses for the therapeutic riding center were never blanketed. They loved to be outside no matter how cold They grew such thick long hair!

  13. The sampler is coming along well. I look forward to doing some more stitchery during the winter. But before that I have to finish my purple shawl and then Lucy's Meadow blanket. I hope you get lots of time off around xmas! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
