My Day
This last season I have been working on a counted cross stitch project. It was nothing serious or to be done in a rush. When the temps were hot, I would work on the stitching or read all the while in my cherry red chair. When I could help Dennis outside, both endeavors were put to the side. Today the last of the navy blue snippets of threads got cleaned up.
Even as my bedroom was being painted, the deck getting stained and the house stutters getting a fresh look, there was time for doing a few stitches. One thread at a times does literally count up. I may well purchase a foam board at Michael’s to mount the stitching on.
My plan going forward was that once this stitching was completed, I was going to re-visit the studio for sewing machine stitching. I have had fabric on the church tables along with my graph sketch. When in the studio, the lights were always turned off by five in the afternoon.
If the late fall and winter nights prove to be too much for just reading, I may have a second cross stitch to be in the mix. For myself, I would choose another mono-colored project. Time will tell.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the mowing will need to be done after the great rain we have had. Dennis had promised me he would teach me to run the zero-turn Snapper. I think that would be a good thing.
