| Hello Spring by Lizzie Kate |
Now that meteorological Spring has arrived, I'm hoping *real* spring weather is following. My area has had two snowfalls in one week. Lucky for me, they both were light fluffy snows... made shoveling so much easier since I'm still suffering from tendonitis in my elbow (thanks to that first horrendous snowfall back in November). This week, temperatures are supposed to hit the mid 60's which is much better than the 20's we were experiencing just a week and a half ago. Hello Spring!!
HEALTH
A few months back, I developed a cold. It was followed by a cough. The nagging cough is still hanging around. I feel okay except for the persistent cough and feeling tightness in my chest. Going to the doctor on Thursday because I'm just tired of it.
60TH CELEBRATION
Kim over at Wisdom with Needle and Thread is celebrating her 60th birthday this year. To see how she's celebrating in a very special way, click on over to her blog. Wish her a great birthday while you're there!
STITCHY STUFF
One would think since I don't have the commute, I'd have more time to stitch but alas... it hasn't happened. I've been stitching here and there when time permits.
Part Three of Palko's Words 2016 SAL arrived at the beginning of the month. After stitching it up, I decided I didn't like the light purple I chose:
So, a froggin' I went and restitched it in a different shade.
Mucho better, IMO. Since I photographed it in the dead of night, the fabric color appears gray instead of the dusty rose it actually is. Here's a WIP photo of the entire project so far:
I've also been stitching on JG (are you shocked?!). Here's what it looked like before:
and now after a few weeks progress.... I have finished with the lower right corner ornament. Very exciting!
Next week, I'll be heading to sunny Florida. A week of sun, water, and sand. I'll be meeting up with a special friend as well as hopefully, a stitcher. Anyone in the Pinellas County area?
Until next time,
