Hello!
It's Fat Tuesday! Happy Mardi Gras! My beans have been soaking overnight and I have hot Italian sausage thawed. We will be having red beans and rice for dinner. I can't wait! But first, the rest of the day awaits and it is time for a TNT update.
Stitching (some) was accomplished this week. The solid fill-ins do take some time. But the ground underneath Eve (the Garden of Eden?) has been filled in and, the bottom line over to the right side (as you look at it) of the sampler has been stitched!
Obviously no more hair was added to Eve and I don't know if that will happen this week. There is a creature off to the right that I am anxious to stitch. Also a few more bugs between Eve and the Tree as well.
I'm happy to report that I did manage to get my chores completed yesterday! That was scrubbing the kitchen floor and vacuuming upstairs. Today I may wipe the cabinets with orange oil if I am so inspired to do so. First, though, I'll cook some bacon & eggs for Fletch and me and we will do a quick run to the grocery store to procure some things (mostly fresh veggies and fruit). Hoping to find reading, knitting and stitching time at some point.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Now I am intrigued about the creature to the right of Eve! I hope you can get your marketing done quickly today so you can get back to the important business of reading, knitting, and stitching!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Eve now has solid ground to stand on and I'm looking forward to seeing the creature to Eve's right. It's always something new and interesting with this sampler on Tuesdays! I forgot about Fat Tuesday, but around here it's known as Fastnacht Day. (Fastnachts are potato doughnuts.) I have a doughnut pan that I haven't used in ages, so maybe I'll bake some doughnuts today.
ReplyDeleteEve... you wild and crazy girl! I am, likewise, eager to see the additions of more creatures! We are having pulled pork tonight... although red beans and rice sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me that it is Mardi Gras. I have been so wrapped up in the Olympics I forgot all about it. I'm on my way to the grocery store today so I'll have to figure out something fun for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the fruits of my labors after a good home cleaning day! I just orange oiled my cabinets a few weeks ago! Nice progress on the stitching!
