Easy Come
Easy come and easy go . . . the light snow of the last days. Our front deck no longer has any snow on it and the concrete drive is bare. I think the brisk breeze has something to do with that.
The street past our home is a thoroughfare. There has been minimal traffic.
The morning and a small portion of this early afternoon has been spent in the studio. I achieved my goal of getting the border onto the scrappy quilt top. The final measurement is 60″ x 72″. That will not change as the binding may add a half inch . . . or so.
The snow began to fall late yesterday. I think the bear in Dennis must have begun the hibernation. Dennis has been asleep in various locations since he got up at six this morning. When looking out into the patio porch from our bathroom, there has been one cat after another walking across his jacket. None have roused him. I am not prone to nap during the day. How could I? I go to bed at nine in the evening and sleep until 7:30 the next morning. Different strokes for different folks.
Late yesterday afternoon, the next hand-stitching project was put into a hoop. The stitching design is up on the angled book rest with the metal 8″ x 11″ sheet behind it and the magnet strips holding the design in place. The floss is six strands. Two strands are used at one time. It is one stitch over one thread . . . making a full cross. I usually thread three needles at a time so as to not let the orphan threads get tangled.
I sure hope this Sunday is bringing some rejuvenation to all of you. When Dennis has had his fill of naps, it could be an interesting evening.
With that I take my leave. ♥
