Last night I worked on "This and That." Here is a progress snap of what it looks like today -
It is really stitching up fast - but will that momentum keep up???? I also worked on the upcoming Monthly Finishing Challenge. This month it is a Pyn-Keep. I want to have this done by Monday so that I can stop by Britex on the way home and pick up some trimming.
Last nights flick was "A Bridge Too Far" - 1977 a very good movie if a bit long at almost three hours. I think they spent too much time building up the back ground. The movie is about the allies trying to take some bridges in Holland. That is a very simplified version of what was called "Market Garden" a huge operation of men and armament that failed at many levels to accomplish it's goals.
I am off tomorrow, Woo Hoo!!!! So there will be no daily dose of my ramblings and no movie recap - yes there is a movie waiting to be watched now sitting on the side table by the TV.
I Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Easter!!!!!
Thank you all so much for stopping by and the wonderful comments!!!! I do appreciate them all!!!!
Take care,
edgar

This and That is really coming together now. And the green mustache is now definitely more like leaves!
ReplyDeleteA Happy Easter to you and Rico.
A Bridge Too Far and the market garden initiative are still very famous here in the Netherlands. I'd never heard of either till I moved here.
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching progress!!
What?!?! No morning Edgar fix tomorrow?! ;-) Hope you and Rico have a wonderful Easter. Let's hope the weather stays nice in the city!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Easter too!
ReplyDeleteYour new wip is so pretty :)
Pretty piece. I love the colors on this fabric ;)
ReplyDeleteThe latest WIP is lovely. I had Friday off too and it seemed I couldn't put the needle done for a second! I was so overjoyed to have over 48 peaceful hours to myself (well, pets and husband too, but they are good things), that I breezed through four little Quaker designs from Mon Ami Pierre. Today was spent with the in-laws, so not much stitching.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is back to the old grind, but at least I felt like I accomplished something.
"Band of Brothers" the HBO series on WWII gave a very accurate portrayal of the Market Garden offensive.
