Good Morning My Friends,
Still quite soggy and wet here. Again, I am checking for webbing between my toes and fingers. Sometimes the rain can sound like a lullaby. Case in point - Mabel wanted to go out at 5:15 this morning. I went downstairs, let her out, and went back upstairs and crawled back into bed. As soon as I was in bed the rain started again and it just was such a beautiful sound and lulled me right back to sleep!
But now I'm up and have had a good half a cup of coffee so far. It's time to talk stitching. After all, it is TNT day. My Scarlet Letter sampler, And All Was For An April is underway! I'm happy with what I was able to get stitched during the past week.
The "angry" dark swirly cloud in the upper left hand corner has been finished. And, the outlining on the sun has been started. It's early days, but this is a very fun stitch.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of you on Zoom tonight for our Read With Us book discussion.
You've stitched a lot on this sampler and that angry cloud is matching the day here so far. We've had some heavy rain and it looks like there is plenty more to come. I'll look forward to seeing more of this piece on Tuesdays and to seeing you tonight for our discussion!
ReplyDeleteThose swirly clouds are so fun, Vera! This looks like a fun stitch! (and I am excited to see everyone tonight on Zoom!)
ReplyDeleteThat cloud is fabulous! It really does look angry. We've had angry clouds for days also. We got a small window of sun yesterday so we got to use the new griddle outside again to make some tacos for dinner.
ReplyDeleteThat cloud does look angry. We had a LOT of those while camping. We just got home a couple of days early. It was just too hot and humid to be camping with no AC at Mammoth Cave. The first two places had electricity and as long as we could sleep at night, we survived the days. But it rained most of the trip.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Bets
We had a good storm yesterday with some wicked lighting. We were headed back from Sarnia and it's all open field country driving - a great way to view the lightning!
ReplyDeleteThe stitching is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat design is a lot of stitches! At least it's not background fill. Maybe not as difficult as I think since each element is sort of separate. One at a time!
ReplyDeleteMaybe stitching that sun will bring the sun back to your neck of the woods! (I also love sleeping when there's rain falling. It's so soothing.)
ReplyDeleteThis piece is very different than the last few--it is very compelling!
ReplyDeletewe haven't had as much rain as you did but we keep getting these storms that roll through. Now we are in the hot zone (boo). lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting looking cloud. Mercy you have had so much rain. I also love to fall asleep to the sound of rain in the background.
