A Sweet Day
This sweet quiet day could only be better if the sun could poke through.
I have an experiment going in the studio. At some time when I had a wild hair, I thought the Command product that would allow picture frames to be put on wall surfaces with Command strips clicking onto other command strips. One or two strips on the back of frames, meshing and lining up with one or two strips on the wall. Hmm. I was not going to risk any of the framed Santa’s stitching.
But . . . I decided to see how one of those strips on the back of quilted cloth would do meshing and clicking onto a strip on the wall. The door going into the studio is where my test is taking place. Each Command strip was to hold 16 lbs. Ya . . . right. I am not above using quite a few of these strips laterally on the wall and spacing them on the back of the quilt to match up to the wall. Time will tell.
In the meantime, I have taken leftovers out of the refrig to bring them closer to room temperature for our supper.
I also started a second cross stitch project to have going while working on my focus piece. This small piece is worked on 20 count Aida, 20 stitches per inch using one strand of floss per stitch over one. The focus piece is 16 stitches per inch with two strands of floss over one.
Some of the videos on YouTube that I watch for entertainment are amazing. The gal known as the Highway Stitcher in upper Utah has 96 hooped designs going, also known as “whips”, works in progress. How adventuresome for Grammie to have two in the hoop. With two . . . that’s my max. After all, you can only work on one at a time, and I take time to glance at a page from my latest book that I am reading.
One can never guess what the Grammie on Stauffer Avenue is up to. It all makes for a sweet day.
With that I take my leave. ♥
