PI(e) Day!!

Hello!

Our sunrise this morning was glorious!  The picture doesn't capture the intensity or deepness of the color I saw as I was leaving my house for work (but it's still a pretty picture).




And, Happy Pi(e) Day!  I'm hoping for pie tonight - lol.  I did not bake one, but Fletch is running to the store for some mushrooms and peppers for grilling tonight and I'm hoping he picks one up from the bakery.  Any kind will do.

Still working on the Kindle mystery.  Am able to access my book.  In fact I can access books where my Overdrive loan expired and I had deleted them.  But new books that I got through Overdrive have not shown up.  Hmmmmm.....not sure what's up and it's not a critical fix at this point.

Yesterday ended up being busy with no errands being run and no knitting at work either!  I hope to remedy the knitting part today.  I did work a little on the Shell Cottage sock last night - turned the heel, picked up the gusset stitches and have started down the foot.  Meanwhile, I'm still undecided what to stitch next and I woke up dreaming about BIG samplers.  I mean really big.  For example:

SDW Sampler

And All Was For An Appil   (I love Adam & Eve Samplers)

Red Deer

Charlotte Clayton

It's weird that I'm drawn to stitching large pieces.  I almost never frame them as we already have a ton of stuff on our walls (and Fletch doesn't want a house filled with needlework - I don't either).  Really I should try to complete one of my unfinished projects, but I'm just not all that interested in them right now (which explains why they are unfinished).  I have all the charts (and so many more - lol), plenty of fabric and also the threads, so we'll see what I end up pulling out.

The sun is out, it is warming up (65 forecast for today!!), Colin is coming for dinner and we are planning to have a fire in the pit tonight!  Guess that means no knitting or stitching tonight, but that's ok.  It will be wonderful to be sitting outside!

Enjoy your day - the weekend is almost here!
