It has been a productive week. Progress was made on the cross stitch, although I realized I had used the wrong color for the ocean area, so that had to get taken out and restitched with the light blue. Oops!
The project was at this stage last Sunday.
It is now at this stage today. Yesterday was the fix day of pulling out the blue and replacing it with the correct light blue.
Today I'm heading to the new barn with Emily to watch her ride. It is about 50 minutes away now but has more challenging horses for her. No cover on this one, so back to sweating in the full sun. Let's hope the rain holds off until after her ride. When we are home, Grandma is coming up for her delayed birthday lunch with us a restaurant of her choice. Then, I hope to have the family finish the screen fixing on the back porch. Yesterday, we got it a little cleaned (that bottom part gets so moldy and dirty and yucky in Florida and I don't sit out there in the heat!). The screen on the door got fixed and one of the windows in my bedroom that the dog ripped up years ago. After watching Aidan learn, I did the other 2 inside in my sewing area. It was dripping sweat hot out. Hopefully we can get the 2 big screens finished off later today. He has one cut out, so we will see how that goes. Maybe one today and one tomorrow? The kids and I are off school and work for Labor Day tomorrow. We will see.
Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.
After sniffing up our normal route, he added an extra bit this morning and I let him.
After we get home, we walk out back and check on the girls and give them a scoop of treats. They are laying between 3-5 eggs a day for us. All are happy and they got some run around outside and get bugs yesterday afternoon after a rain. Perfect time for them to go explore.
Seems the girls alarm did not go off, so good thing I woke her up 20 minutes before she wanted to leave!
I remember how moldy everything can get there - my in-laws lived in Pensacola for awhile when my step father in law was in the navy and we visited now and then they had a screened in porch and it was miserable smelled moldy and so humid - my allergies went crazy.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos from your walk. Lovely cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteI can see the starfish emerging! Great progress, even with having to rip some out and restitch. Pretty view on your walk, too. I hope the new stable is a good one, and also birthday dinner with grandma!
ReplyDeleteLove the starfish!
