Hey There!
Good Morning! How are you? I can feel that it is a bit warmer this morning, but I can't yet tell whether it is clear or somewhat cloudy. Yesterday I actually managed to do a few things. I paid the bills that were sitting on my desk (too many) and I took everything out of the freezer to do an inventory. It is possible that I could be accused of hoarding food! LOL. I discovered that we have roughly 5 different kinds of fish in the freezer, along with a whole chicken, chicken breasts, drumsticks, different packages of beef, some vegetarian stuff I had made a couple of months ago, and on and on and on. Whew! No pork chops or ground turkey, so those are on the list for today's shopping. Mostly though we just need fresh produce, milk, OJ, bread. Also TP and tissues.
Do you remember a few months back "they" said there would be a shortage of Sriracha? Luckily that did not happen. But now, we cannot find Pickapeppa sauce - the original. I can find mango pickapeppa, but not the old original. I even checked Amazon! None of our stores have it currently. Just seems weird to me.
Anyway, moving on, it is Tuesday and time for a TNT update. So close!
Look!! The lawn is finished, a sunflower has been added on the right along with a little heart and the last blackbird is flying off in the upper right. What's left? A big ol' harvest moon in the upper right. I hope the moon is not as much of a slog as that green grass was. The green grass and the blue house seemed to take forever!
This sure has been a fun piece to stitch. I'll have to think about what's next...and I'm thinking smaller for sure. LOL
Time to grab more coffee and make sure Fletch is getting up. Hoping your Tuesday is a good one.
There hasn't been the real deal Huy Fong sriracha around here in a very long time--going on 2 years. There are others, but they're just not as good. Count yourself lucky.
ReplyDeleteI have been working on emptying our freezer. It is a good lesson. Your needle work is just lovely and a sunflower is always a good thing
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous piece! All that fill work would have had me in tears but you just plowed right through it. It's been fun watching it progress.
ReplyDeleteYou're so close to the finish line!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you stitched a lot and you're getting close to the finish! It takes motivation to slog through lawns, houses, and dresses. Do you have a Stop and Shop nearby? I thought I saw Pickapeppa sauce the last time I was there, and I just checked online and they say it's in stock. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll try to get some for you.
ReplyDeleteI was just taking inventory of our freezer today. A trip to Costco is in order to stock up a bit. We usually get our meat there because it seems to be better quality and reasonably prices compared to our grocers.
ReplyDeleteYour project is coming along great. That's a LOT of solid stitiching. I need to start on my Jane Austin stitching. I'm dreading the 32 count. Although it called for linen, I bought even weave to make it a bit easier. I'm waiting for a really sunny day to get started.
Take care and enjoy your Tueday Vera.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
The stitching looks great! I think you're ready to be snowed in for a bit!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've made a lot of progress since last week! I guess retirement is good for stitching time. I have a feeling you're also going to doing some cooking with all that food you have in the freezer!
ReplyDeleteLots of detail added: it does look like a fun piece to stitch.
ReplyDeleteMy freezer and your freezer should talk! LOL And how have I never heard of pickapeppa? Your stitching is just gorgeous... well worth the time and effort! Hope your Tuesday was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Pickapeppa . . . But I LOVE your sampler, Vera. It is absolutely charming! XO
ReplyDeleteI love this design so much!! Never heard of pickapeppa....Should I? lol!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really progressing--I love the scene!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Look at the progress on this piece. Oh the bottomless pit of a freezer. Good for you for taking inventory.
