Good Morning!
How are you? I am loving our weather recently - warmer temps and most importantly, the gusty winds have subsided. Whew! But, no matter the weather, time marches onward and now it is Tuesday and time for a TNT update. I'm happy to let you know that more stitching was accomplished this past week. The sampler continues to grow.
I am really enjoying this sampler, but at the same time I am thankful that it is no larger - all that solid stitching!! Glad I'm enjoying it because I certainly have a whole lot more to stitch! LOL
Meanwhile, back to the weather for a moment. Yesterday was gorgeous! I did not get out to walk, instead I did four loads of wash and took it easy. I guess the time change is impacting me because I felt pretty tired all day. But, with the lovely weather, Fletch grilled hot and sweet sausages for us for dinner. I sautéed some onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and zucchini to go with the sausage and then...drumroll...we had our first fire of the season last night!
It was a beautiful night with an almost full moon shining down on us.
There were lots of stars visible and Mabel was running around. She never comes near the fire, but walks around the perimeter of the yard - checking her territory I guess. We came in after about an hour (Mabel stayed out a little later, but still came in for the night).
Today it is forecast to hit 68! We will do grocery shopping this morning, but I am hoping/planning to get in a walk after lunch. I hope your Tuesday is a good one!
Some of our neighbors had a fire last night as well! I could smell it on Frankie's last walk of the day! And this weather has just been spectacular... so much sunshine, I love it! Your stitching is looking very good, Vera! Those hand-dyed threads really add such depth to stitches!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of solid stitching on that piece, but it really looks nice and I love seeing more "kindness begets" on Tuesdays. I have my first load of laundry in so I can hang it out on this beautiful day. It's only 34 now but supposed to be 68 here today, too. Days like this I wish I had more clothesline so I could wash and hang out everything!
ReplyDeleteDave brought our BBQ out of storage on the weekend... I think he's hinting (he only cooks breakfast, so I'm BBQ master here, lol).
ReplyDeleteYour stitches look great. I am always intimidated by solid pieces like that!
We had the last of the stormy weather yesterday-thunder and lightening and high winds! Calm and crisp this morning. Yay for the first fire in the backyard!
ReplyDeleteI love your new project! I feel you with the solid stitches. My Snort Stack piggies are big and solid too. I started them last night and ouf....
ReplyDeleteI've got the solo stove cleaned out and ready to go but we've had so many red flag warnings lately that I'm not sure if it's safe to make a fire yet.
the weather has been so nice here! I am going to get in two walks if at all possible. I love this stitching project as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of background!
