Dismal Day
What a dismal day today. No sunshine so I decided to spend my time in the sewing studio and make my own sunshine. I have one light fixture that needs to be replaced. It is the old style florescent tubes. It will be replaced with the LED bulb right in the fixture. We have two such lights and they really hit the mark for good lighting to work under. It sounds like a road trip coming up.
I did put the embroidery module on the sewing machine today. I am in the process of pulling ideas together using embroidered blocks with pieced patchwork blocks surrounding each of the embroidered ones. Out comes the graph paper.
It has been some time since I did any embroidering. The biggest task for me is to pull all the colors I need for each block and each of the blocks I have in mind use different colors. My threads are organized by color number. I use Isacord thread exclusively. OESD, Oklahoma Embroidery Supply and Design, is Bernina’s link for exclusive designs and Isacord is the thread that is linked to those designs. Using embroidery designs that are put out by the same as the thread company makes it quite easy to get everything organized in that area of a project. The colors within each design lists the color number and that means the end product looks as good as it was intended to by the designer. Then comes the decision of the stabilizer to use. As I said it has been some time since I was in this mode. Much time spent today getting items from A to Z. Tomorrow will go smoother.
If Dennis decides on a road trip for purchasing light fixtures tomorrow we won’t be venturing out too early if we do at all tomorrow morning. Dennis enjoys road trips as he is right at home behind the wheel of his little red pickup. Patio porch time does weigh heavy after a week of it. I am fortunate to have a bit more on my plate at any given time. KNUJ, my favorite radio station, is warning of dense fog tonight and into tomorrow morning. The dense fog also means some freezing on roadways. Dense fog also means that four legged creatures can’t be seen easily. I am not referring to squirrels.
Supper is going to be easy tonight. Beef hotdogs chunked into a can of pork and beans with buttered bread. That suggestion passed mustard with Dennis.
Take care everyone. My furnace does enjoy these mild temps.
