I'm glad it's Friday!
It has been a crazy week! Yesterday afternoon I had a doctor appointment and I was there for two hours! Geeze! I stopped on my way home at JoAnn's to get some outdoors thread for the new cover I need to make to replace the one the puppy destroyed. I guess right the color! When I got home the samples of the new vinyl fabric for the cover had arrived and the thread color match was spot on. Now I need to order 6 yards of the vinyl.
Wanda had asked me how my transplanted ornamental grass was coming along. It was spitting rain a bit, but I walked over and got a picture of it. It is bent over because I think it is reaching for sunlight. Here is what the fence line looked when I planted them and how it looks now
I had been working on my Friday night cross stitch project during the week this week. I just couldn't set it down. I changed the design just a bit. I put smaller hearts at the upper right and left sides, and instead of a heart above the bird I put a tiny skull. I would have put the year, but I was down to my last bit of floss to finish the skull. That thread at the right is all I had left of one skein I had bought of a hand dyed floss. My sister thinks she has some of that floss so she will look when she gets home. I need one strand about 10" to put the date on and I am not even sure where I would even stitch the year. I will have to think about that.
Have a great weekend! I won't be going anywhere on Saturday since all the streets will be blocked with the marathon. They run right thru where I live so traffic becomes a nightmare.
wow, that's cutting it close on the floss. I like the skull that you swapped for the heart....a little surprise.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy an great weekend at home! I'm not going anywhere either.
ReplyDeleteYour grass is doing great along the fence line. That is a perfect place for it for a little privacy (or not having to see what is on the other side of the fence).
ReplyDeleteThat skull is a fantastic substitution - just gives things a nice edge. The grasses make a very elegant line, don't they?
