Since I'd neglected the Appalachian Memories barn for a duet of days, I gave myself plenty of fourth dimension to stitch yesterday. Now the upper business office of the roof is finished.
This morn I'll live on able to fill upwardly inwards to a greater extent than at the bottom of the hoop, in addition to and then I intend I'll deed along to the adjacent section. This existence Sunday, I'll live on linking upwardly with
While I was stitching, Sadie was real busy enticing me to fill upwardly her process bowl.
Purhaps you've furgotten something?
Pawsibly you'll honour me to a greater extent than if I demo y'all my bedchamber eyes.
No? Hmmmmm...what volition it accept for y'all to honour the purroblem amongst my process bowl?
Sadie, I'm afurraid you'll acquire nowhere until y'all practise some travel on these hindquarters here.
So nosotros fixed the process bowl, in addition to and then I went downstairs to complete top-stitching the shamrock applique. I had inwards hear to acquire that finished in addition to and then haul Big Bertha to the store for repair.
Here's how it looks from the back.
I practise intend that double blanket stitch helps convey out the depression contrast shamrocks now.
The emerald light-green rickrack arrived yesterday, but I'll complete it off in 1 lawsuit Big Bertha comes back. Several of y'all direct maintain noticed the spate of problems amongst my car recently. This terminal 1 wasn't her fault. When she came dorsum from her lengthy (and repeated) repairs terminal time, this novel occupation amongst the feed dogs appeared for the inaugural of all time. My gauge is that something got disconnected in addition to and then non reconnected piece it was existence repaired. And I'm finished amongst that shop. The technician is a lazy, incompetent bully, in addition to I've had to a greater extent than than 1 nigh shouting fit amongst her. I'd dear to travel along my trace of piece of work organisation local, but plenty is enough. I'm hoping this novel store volition create her upwardly right...and she deserves it.

Ever experience similar you're existence watched?
Sadie likes having the scraps spread out on the table. It's a great identify for excavation around.
Smitty thinks it makes an splendid napping place.
From there, I added some of the brownish fur around the eyes. For this pawtrait, it's difficult to know what to practise without adding inwards the chocolate brownish land that is hence frontwards on Cricket's face. It's the business office of her human face upwardly that's nigh noticeable in addition to everything else volition live on built around that.
When I left it for the day, it looked similar this.
As for Miss Sadie, she's dorsum to her tricks trying to gain attending for her process bowl. She likes to stretch out to her total length piece she lies on my lap inwards the morning.

This has the added payoff of making an splendid kitty fort.
It's looking similar a pretty day, in addition to hence I'll travail to leave of absence for a walk this afternoon when it warms upwardly a little.
