Keeping Busy
A day to stay busy and let carpenters do their thing. Bryan and Carlos were here early considering they needed to brush snow off of the tarp of lumber waiting to be used.
Oh yes. We had freezing mist and snow with high winds. Could this be the last of it!
True to my word to Dennis, I have stayed out of the way of the front door project.
It seemed like a good day to try out an embroidery pattern I downloaded yesterday. I don’t want to forget how the downloading process goes. If I did forget, I would feel that an entire window of possibilities would be closed to me. Yes, each design does cost about $3.50 each. I couldn’t even go uptown and have a cup of coffee with a donut for that. Once I download it, I have ownership of it to use as often as I want.
The three towels I embroidered today is an example of my ownership. We have a towel of a Mackintosh red apple tree, a green Grannie Smith apple tree and one Golden Delicious apple tree. It kept me busy and the best part is, there are no puckers in the embroidery. Just as in keeping my hand in downloading, it is also remembering what stabilizers to use for the best outcome.
The sun is out and it is bright, but last night’s dumping has kept the temps cool.
As Dennis and I had been beating the bushes for quite some time to have carpenters on board, I have taken it upon myself to post Bryan’s business card on Facebook. Bryan and his wife, plus Carlos, moved here from New York last summer to help Bryan’s father-in-law with the huge two story house across the way from us. Bryan’s decided to stay in St. James, so Carlos did also. Seeing Bryan’s van in our driveway is good advertising so the business card on Facebook can’t hurt either.
Our town needs carpenters and repair people. The Good Old Boys Club has dwindled.
We have decided on eggs and sausages for supper. I picked up a package of Jimmy Dean’s pre-cooked link sausages. If the links are as good as the patties by the same brand . . . I will let you know what the foodies think.
Have a blessed Sunday.
