Yesterday morn saw me finishing off my quaternary as well as concluding mystery project. Here's a piffling peek.
I should go able to demonstrate it to yous inward a span of weeks. These are the fabrics I'm going to purpose to complete it off. I'm non certain almost that stripe yet. That would go the binding, but I won't go certain until it's all sewn together.
There was merely plenty fourth dimension to delineate out my adjacent project. You powerfulness bring noticed my in conclusion 2 stitchery projects bring been mysteries, intended equally gifts for someone else. Now I'm dorsum on rail alongside my ain line-up of projects. I ever bring 5 embroidery projects inward the line-up at whatsoever given time. One of them is a "shorty" that tin go finished inward 1 go-round, as well as that's where I am on my list. The novel 1 is this "Sweet Land of Liberty" from Crabapple Hill Farms.
I'm on a request to brand a tabular array runner as well as tabular array topper (for our breakfast bar) for every holiday. So far, I bring naught for the Fourth of July. I'm going to purpose this 1 to brand a tabular array topper, rather than a pillow.
So, I traced it out...
as well as and then used crayon to coloring it in. I don't know why that blueish looks thence mottled inward this picture. It doesn't await that agency inward person.
Also, I'm lazy as well as thence I bought the floss package to stitch it up. Aren't these pretty?
Now it's hooped upward as well as laid upward to go.
I didn't bring fourth dimension to start on it because I had a appointment alongside my dentist to laid upward my chipped tooth. Yesterday's drive downtown was the worst traffic mess I've seen inward a while. There was an accident on the principal drag leading to the start reason highway. Then bumper-to-bumper traffic on the highway. Then, moving onto the principal highway into downtown Portland, to a greater extent than bumper-to-bumper traffic. But it was hurry upward as well as hold off for my appointment alongside the dentist. The appointment itself was quick as well as easy. As it turns out, the molar was the molar beside the 1 that chipped dorsum during the 17th century, as well as thence at 1 time I bring a matching pair. Also, the repair lightened my wallet past times $400. (I took 2 tubes of "free" chapstick from the bowl at the reception desk.)
With thence much less cash on my body, you'd remember the drive dwelling would bring been fast, but no. It was bumper-to-bumper all the way. On the principal drag leading dorsum home, no less than half-dozen police pull cars were lined upward blocking a right-turn lane. I'm certain at that topographic point was something other than a gab fest going on, but it wasn't apparent to the casual observer. There appeared to go a lot of laughter as well as back-slapping. It made this crabby driver desire to halt as well as function out of the automobile as well as yell, "Does your woman bring upward know you're here?"
So it was practiced I was spending the afternoon on the boat alongside Mike as well as a friend. I'm the boat babe, belongings upward the flag for a skier inward the water. It's the law hither inward Oregon that at that topographic point must go iii people on the boat if at that topographic point is to go whatsoever water-skiing: One driver, 1 flagger, as well as 1 skier. Thus, it was my solemn duty. In our travels, nosotros saw this nifty blueish heron, who appeared to go next us. He was warily watchful of our activities for most of the day.
It would go a waste matter of rope fourth dimension for me to produce whatsoever skiing. I'm happy to rest on the boat as well as call helpful comments like, "A piffling to a greater extent than human face upward establish on that adjacent fall!" This is our friend Tim.
And here's the boat captain.
It was a overnice agency to pass the afternoon of an otherwise stressful day.
Today we're heading out early on to teach merely about breakfast as well as alternative upward 25 pounds of tomatoes from the farmers. We're also going to teach merely about apples for applesauce, as well as thence I'll go dorsum to canning this weekend. I'm hoping I'll become far a piffling to a greater extent than sewing time, but non counting on it.
