Yes?

No?


Should I try for a tally folks? I was going to garden, but family stuff got
in the way.
I'm totally exhausted now, dinner is in the distant future and I might fall
asleep before it...

And Ellice - I never did find pink peppercorns. Pink Salt, but not pink
peppercorns...

LOL - I'll put some in the package that I've got to send you, anyhow.
Peppercorns and stitchy stuff - c'est parfait.


Anything else????

At least I finally stitched some - got some basketweaving with Waterlillies
done - and was able to pull out a couple of stitches that were done earlier
and weren't exactly right. I sometimes hate when I know a piece is going in
for judging. I decided that doing basketweave under the magnifier was too
obsessive. So, I just stitched (with laying tool) and it looks good. But,
the magnifier was very handy with trying to pull out a few stitches - darn,
that silk does shred. Hoping for a marathon of stitching tonight, as I'm
hoping to get to the framer tomorrow or at latest Thursday morning. And I
do have to work, but only from 6-10 tomorrow.

Woohoo - now off to WW.

When I have a day like that....I usually only stitch if I've got a
"simple"
section to work on. Otherwise I end up frogging.

After taking DM to Nordstrom's Cafe for lunch I did get a little
stitching
in....after I read some more of that book. Next on the agenda is to
figure out the stitches on an UFO of my mom's that just needs a little
work. Of course she left the "hardest" part. Who knows how long
this has been sitting around. The bag had a sales slip from the
mid-80s!!!! That's after I spray for the carpenter ants. Sigh. I
wish
they would just go away!

We-ell, if we're gonna brag........................
I haven't picked up a needle in a month. That little cold I got turned
into a major cold, which then morphed into bronchitis and, inevitably,
on into yet another bout of pneumonia. Damned inconvenient, when I have
so much I want to get on with. However, being unable to do much except
lie there, and read - although I am about out of reading matter and gone
back to the classics again - I have at least planned some new patterns
to make on my PMB software when I get to the point where I can sit at
this 'ere machine for longer than ten minutes at a time.

Oh, this week I am re-reading Galsworthy's "Forsyte Saga."

Olwyn Mary in New Orleans.

Well, I did stitch for a little bit - 30-40 stitches in a nice enclosed area
in one color.

I think we may have carpenter ants too. After the dog goes back tomorrow, I
think I have find some heavier duty ant killer.


Which book?
