A Little Something Different Today....

Gentle Friends, no Flashback today as I took the day off, and Rico and I are headed south to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Specifically to see the newest exhibit "Into The Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean.  Here's a great video from the Aquarium about some of the curious animals way down deep...

...  I'll be back next week with some updates and snaperoos from our trip.

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle Friends, not too much stitching on Mary Ann this week...here's a snap...

... I finished up my version of the house.  I made quite a few changes to the charted version.  I moved the entire house more to the center.  It still has a naive wonkiness but now the "tree" on the left will not be bumping up against the border.  

The reason for so little stitching here is I'm furiously stitching away on a Christmas present.  I needed to focus on it so I can get the sucker to the framers ... sooner than later.  I already have another stitched piece at Vonna's for finishing and I'm feeling the pressure to get this second piece wrapped up.  There is a third piece that I'll get moving on but I'm doing that finishing, so I have a bit more lea way with that.

Flashback Friday

 Gentle Friends, this is a sampler I remember well and I changed up quite a bit...

Swan Pond Sampler 1797

by The Knoxville Tennesse EGA Chapter

40ct "Ale" from PTP

I Converted the charted floss to various overdyed floss from my stash

3/19 - 5/24

It was a fun piece and when I unrolled it from the "heap box o'rolls" I knew it was next for a Flashback.

A Little Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, I finished up the border and started in on the brick house.  I am adjusting some of the wonkiness of this sampler  - centering and fixing some odd stitches here and there - but for the most part, it'll be what Mary Ann worked... here's a snap...

There you go sports fans.  Thanks for stopping by do stop again.  Stay Safe!
