While I had every intention of car sewing yesterday, the Resident Electrician had other ideas. In fairness to him, he was finished alongside his function merely about 2:00 p.m., but it seemed belatedly inwards the twenty-four hours to drag everything out yesteryear that time. Instead, I spent the twenty-four hours on slow-stitching.
First upwardly was the day's inchy. This 1 took a niggling longer than the rest. It's stitched inwards backstitch, cross-stitch, French knots, together with double lazy daisy stitches.
After that, I worked on finishing upwardly the 4th snowflake. I needed to complete stitching merely about the exterior edge...all stalk stitch alongside 1 strand of floss, together with thus those are tiny stitches. The designing had them inwards the lightest of the 3 blues, but I wanted to purpose something darker.
After that, it was fourth dimension to run upwardly on the beads.
And together with then to rinse out the Sticky Fabri-Solvy. Now it is pressed together with finished.
While I was rinsing it out, I made upwardly the 5th snowflake, together with I'll in all probability teach a commencement on it today.
Up until now, I've done them inwards the same 3 shades of blue. The adjacent 1 volition hold out done inwards aqua blues.
We've been enjoying the hummingbirds. This 1 hither is the thug hummer. He's been sitting inwards a nearby tree for 2 lead days, chasing off whatever other birds who come upwardly yesteryear to feed.
Although he seems to consent to this 1 other hummer...possibly a sibling or a mate? Who knows why.
Nevertheless, he keeps a atmospheric condition oculus out for other intruders together with chases them off whenever they come upwardly near. Sometimes they ignore him. Yesterday at that spot were 4 lined upwardly to feed from the 2 holes. He was stamping his niggling birdy human foot alongside wild abandon, but nobody was listening. (Sorry for the dingy window, yesteryear the way.)
And at 1 time tin sack nosotros all intermission alongside a 2d of quiet for the terrible life of the RV cats. It's all sunbathing...day inwards together with twenty-four hours out...how is a truthful cat supposed to teach a moment's peace?
