The home stretch

-
My favorite kind of Monday, one where I have the day off. Downside is I'll have all of Monday's work waiting for me when I get to work tomorrow, I'm ok with that now as my current goal is to not get dressed today haha!


As I'm off today I'm hoping to finish this one but I have a recipe I want to try so odds are I will be finishing this tomorrow evening but I can hope, right?  The other 11 are sitting on the sewing table with some lovely green Ultrasuede for finishing into the small pillows.  The recommended finishing is weeks dye works wool, a different color for nearly every design, I didn't find anywhere I could buy that small of a cut so I opted for a consistent fabric and I'm thinking about adding a bit of variation of color to the cording that will frame the design.




Another finished piece finally framed and on the wall.  I got this chart just after it was released in the late 90's, finished the design in 2006.  Guess its well past time I got it framed instead of letting the inside of the drawer enjoy the finished piece, haha


And last, its that time again.  You know, when I'm late posting for the stitch along that doesn't even require me to take a nice photo of my stitching.  I'm finally reaching the point where it doesn't push down very well, perhaps I will empty it for the new year.

Thanks for reading!

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.
