Hello and Good Morning,
I was up early this morning - like 5 a.m. Someone (that would be Mabel) was crowding me a little bit...nudging up heavily against my legs. Sigh. But, that's fine. I got up, showered and am now having coffee and feeling pretty awake!
It is Tuesday and time for a check in on my stitching. I have some wonderful news: the house has finally been completely painted! Yup! It took some time (if it had been my house I would have fired the painter and gotten a new one...so long...), but now that part is complete.
The lady still needs the bottom part of her dress, but the outlining is done on her. Whew! I really dislike doing outlining. It adds a lot, but I find it to be a PITA.
What else? It stayed pretty gloomy looking yesterday until late in the afternoon when the sun finally decided to shine. I made a big pot of soup for dinner along with some biscuits - a perfect day for that. I'm not sure what today will be like weather-wise (it is still very dark outside). But shrimp is on the menu for dinner, so that will be good!
Fletch has an appointment this morning, so I will be on my own for groceries. We are desperately in need of fresh produce - I think we are down to broccoli and radishes in the frig and two apples in the fruit bowl. Time to replenish!
Whatever you are up to, I hope your day is an enjoyable one! Stay warm (or cold if that is your preference).
Thanks for starting my day with a laugh with your comment about the painters! This piece is really starting to look almost done (though I'm sure there's still a lot of stitching left to do). I'm glad you got a little sunshine yesterday! We're supposed to get some more snow later today, so that may be headed your way tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think that's just a gorgeous piece of stitching, Vera! Even if the painter lagged a bit there, timing-wise. So lovely! Enjoy your day - and your trip to the grocery. XO
ReplyDeleteI love those trees! At least the landscapers were on top of things. My grocery day is tomorrow, thank goodness. There isn't a piece of fruit in the house.
ReplyDeleteWell done of finishing that house! Kym is right, that is just one stunning stitching, Vera! (I need to get the the grocer as well this week... sigh)
ReplyDeleteYour house looks great! We've had trouble getting painters but I'm glad yours came through for you. I also need fruit. The last time I bought mandarins they tasted awful, so maybe pears or something better this time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post
ReplyDeleteMmm... I'm considering dinner & you mention two great options -- both faves!
ReplyDeleteI love that house & the subtle color variations.
Stitching looks great!
ReplyDeleteLoving that piece!
ReplyDeleteYour project is coming long great. I've been browsing at 123stitch.com looking for another project. So much to choose from.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Your little homestead is almost livable now!
