Got To Do This Fast

I have to do this speedy because I'm prepping for my colonscopy tomorrow.  

I will be glad when this is over  

It's not my first one just, a pain in the you know where.  

I drank all that horrible stuff.  

I did try a cherry flavored one and I have to say its not as awful as the lemon lime.  

I've been working on Martha Dawson 1832 all week.  

The rose bud border on this is just beautiful!

I will probably start doing some of the center motifs tomorrow night.  

I should be able to see straight by then.  

I think this little animal is something else.  

I don't know what it is.  

I decided to do a small marking sampler from the Fall 2011 Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterly, the Ann Pierce Drown Sampler

I'm using my chicken egg colors, added some darker blue or grey incase I need it. 

I had a small piece of Light Examplar that I used some Antiguing Spray on to darken and grunge it up some.   

I have been working on Sarah Braizear from Hands Across the Sea.  

I just have the satin stitching to do around the border.  

It was a good project for today since I don't have to focus that hard  or be that perfect.  

Easy to pick up and put down.....if you know what I mean.  

There was some big news this weekend. 

Katy and her boyfriend Steve got engaged!

Bob and I have known about it for almost two weeks and had to keep it on the downlow.  

We are so pleased!

He's a very nice young man and happy to welcome him to the family!

I do have a couple of small things to work on, including the Ann Pierce Drown Sampler.  

She is only 145x95 so on 40 count fabric, it should fit in a small pre-made frame that I should have around the house.  

I've had a long weekend.  

I worked Thursday because I had to have a Covid test Friday in preparation for the colonscopy.  

It has been a pretty good weekend all things considered.  

I had to quarantine after the test and well you know, I had to stay home and stitch. 

Hope your weekend was good and you are safe from the weather.  

Stay safe, wear your mask, social distance and get a vaccine when you can.  

Keep on Stitching
