New Years Progress...

Got Earthdancer a bit farther along this weekend, I did have plenty of time for that being a 3 day weekend and all :) She's getting a much-needed bath this evening. After she's dried and pressed I can put on the ultra suede and the dream catcher, there are a few bits of beading that need to be done as well. I thought I would never see the end of the trees those. Those 3 small trees were about 8 hours of work which seemed like an eternity.



I dug the winter queen out of the abyss that is my closet. I got her back on her frame and threaded up my needle, only to realize there was a spot on my nice white linen, not so impressed about that so she got spot cleaned on Friday night before I was even going to put a needle to it just incase whatever I had gotten on it didn't want to come out. Fortunately it did and now that I have Earthdancer ready to be cleaned I started work on her this morning. Still can't say I'm so impressed with the scroll frame but I have it so I can comfortably work on it in my recliner. My arm was quite tired from holding Earthdancer in a hoop so long term, the scroll is a much better idea.

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt. Stitching has been moving along. I've got all the stitching in on Ambrosia honey and am now on to the beading and a few details. Beading is taking a while, I'm reworking how the beads are applied. The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and messy to me.  I like

Its been a year, again. I see really good in spring and then life gets away from me and its a free for all.  With the current pandemic around the world, I'm spending a lot more time at home as you might imagine.  It took a few weeks but I finally found my way back to my needle and thread. Ambrosia honey has been possibly the most enjoyable of the current projects in the pile so I started there.  The starting point and a nice glass of wine because, COVID-19 I started a new job in December and I don't have quite enough tenure to qualify for work from home so I'm at the end of the list, for safety I've been working 3 days per week so they can limit how many people are in the office at once.  The upside to this for me personally was extra time to stitch. This is really fun to work on, despite there being a lot of compensation where the different designs run into each other. I don't mind compensation and it had been interesting to see colors that looked ter

Only a day late and that is because I was fussing with yardage for starting another afghan yesterday and booing at the weather forecast that kept promising a lot of snow which I know will never materialize. If it snows, it really needs to be enough that I get a snow day or at least a work from home day.
