Yippee!
Yippee, we made it above zero! The bright sun is doing its best to help warm the windows facing the south.
It was time to oil the sewing machine and put in a new needle. Winding five bobbins didn’t hurt either for future embroidering. Embroidering is easier on my arms and hands than piecing. Over time, the piecing has to ensue to finish up what have been embroidered into portions towards a finished project. Slow and steady.
I have a project called Red, White and Bloom. After the machine was ready, I did do one block to “let it begin.” Reading instructions doesn’t hold a candle to dipping your toe and making several cuts into fabric. With one block stitched out successfully it will become easier each time I visit the studio. With a heat run open in the basement, it makes it doable as long as I have shoes on. Concrete floors draw into feet not covered, causing discomfort in the legs long after being away from that floor.
Dennis caught a John Wayne black and white movie on the RFD television channel.
I made a few strides on my 1,000 piece puzzle. I have many mini areas put together matching up portions according to the picture on the box. There will be no quick fixes.
Alarms will be set this evening as we will be in Mankato at 8:30 tomorrow morning for Dennis to have a MRI of his left foot. There is bound to be a solution to an angry bunion bone. We will be meeting with a podiatrist the week after. In the meantime, in between time we dress the wound every night.
Thank goodness for a 9″ x 9″ pan of hamburger pasta in the freezer. Super . . . nailed it!
