Good morning, my friends. Our weather has returned to Portland gloom today. We're expecting sun breaks off and on through the week, but rain most every day. I haven't checked the forecast to see when the sunshine will return, but it won't be for several days.
My first stop yesterday was to stitch Tiny Treasure #46. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, and fly stitch.

Good morning, my friends. Before I say another word, please join me in wishing this handsome hunka mancat a very happy 14th birthday.
My, oh my. How time flies. It seems only yesterday we brought home this little squirt.

Good morning, my friends. It was a good and tiring day yesterday. As I mentioned, my friend Sue and I walked across a newly-opened pedestrian bridge in the neighboring community of Sherwood yesterday. We started on the far side of the bridge and walked across to where the new high school is located.

New panels have been added to this cloth, this wrapping cloth.
You haven't seen it for quite a while because I have been concentrating on paper lately but I often have the urge to go back to cloth and when that happens this is the piece I pick up.
There are two new panels, one a hand painted and embroidered piece, the other plain white Broderie Anglaise which will be embellished with patchwork flowers.
I think this is almost finished in terms of the embroidered, front surface.
Now I have to decide what to do with regards to the ...
read moreGood morning, my friends. Yes, it's true I said I'd be posting later today if I posted at all. And so if you thought you were going to be able to drink your coffee in peace this morning, you'll be disappointed. Here I am flapping my lips again. There was an early start to my morning, and so I find myself with time to spare.
Since I knew I'd be leaving early this morning, I did this morning's slow-stitching yesterday evening while we watched the news. And so I have two Tiny Treasures to show ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It isn't often I go a day without sewing, but yesterday was one of those days. Of course, there's almost always time for slow-stitching, and so it isn't exactly true that there was no sewing at all. This is Tiny Treasure #42. It has fan stitch, lazy daisy, stem stitch, French knots and satin stitch.

Good morning, my friends. It was such a beautiful day yesterday, how could I resist getting outside for a walk? Truth is...I couldn't. First, though, I needed to stitch Tiny Treasure #41:
This one has French knots, stem stitch, fly stitch, backstitch, and lazy daisy.
With that finished, I walked around the house to see what was blooming. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, the cherry trees are starting to bloom. It's a good time for them, with plenty of sunshine in the forecast for the coming week. We're hoping for plenty of cherries this ...

read moreToday I was off to moms. I brought along some iced tea so I wouldn't have to stop.
Arrived at moms first. Then Gerilyn, Bonnie and Georgie came. We ended up "BSing" more than doing anything else. I did get some work on my embroidery though.
I was able to get the second one done with the first layer. I am going to have to wire the rest soon. We talked about sourdough bread, mom and her job as a protective payee, Sandy and her health. Just about everything.
Then I headed home by stopping at Colleens and picking ...
read moreGood morning, my friends, and a fine morning it is! The sun is shining, and it's still warm from yesterday's nice weather. It's going to cool off a little bit by tomorrow, but then we're looking at warmer weather for the remainder of the week. Is it possible that spring has sprung? I sure hope so.
There was no negotiating about getting in some exercise yesterday. I forced myself onto the treadmill, and I felt better for it. There's no way to know for sure if it gave me more energy for the remainder of ...
