So do you think I'll manage to stitch tonight.?

Yes?

No?


Should I try for a tally folks? I was going to garden, but family stuff got
in the way.
I'm totally exhausted now, dinner is in the distant future and I might fall
asleep before it...

And Ellice - I never did find pink peppercorns. Pink Salt, but not pink
peppercorns...

LOL - I'll put some in the package that I've got to send you, anyhow.
Peppercorns and stitchy stuff - c'est parfait.


Anything else????

At least I finally stitched some - got some basketweaving with Waterlillies
done - and was able to pull out a couple of stitches that were done earlier
and weren't exactly right. I sometimes hate when I know a piece is going in
for judging. I decided that doing basketweave under the magnifier was too
obsessive. So, I just stitched (with laying tool) and it looks good. But,
the magnifier was very handy with trying to pull out a few stitches - darn,
that silk does shred. Hoping for a marathon of stitching tonight, as I'm
hoping to get to the framer tomorrow or at latest Thursday morning. And I
do have to work, but only from 6-10 tomorrow.

Woohoo - now off to WW.

When I have a day like that....I usually only stitch if I've got a
"simple"
section to work on. Otherwise I end up frogging.

After taking DM to Nordstrom's Cafe for lunch I did get a little
stitching
in....after I read some more of that book. Next on the agenda is to
figure out the stitches on an UFO of my mom's that just needs a little
work. Of course she left the "hardest" part. Who knows how long
this has been sitting around. The bag had a sales slip from the
mid-80s!!!! That's after I spray for the carpenter ants. Sigh. I
wish
they would just go away!

We-ell, if we're gonna brag........................
I haven't picked up a needle in a month. That little cold I got turned
into a major cold, which then morphed into bronchitis and, inevitably,
on into yet another bout of pneumonia. Damned inconvenient, when I have
so much I want to get on with. However, being unable to do much except
lie there, and read - although I am about out of reading matter and gone
back to the classics again - I have at least planned some new patterns
to make on my PMB software when I get to the point where I can sit at
this 'ere machine for longer than ten minutes at a time.

Oh, this week I am re-reading Galsworthy's "Forsyte Saga."

Well, I did stitch for a little bit - 30-40 stitches in a nice enclosed area
in one color.

I think we may have carpenter ants too. After the dog goes back tomorrow, I
think I have find some heavier duty ant killer.


Which book?

That's the kind I would have worked on.

They are the hardest to get rid of with the wild cherry tree
nearby that is infested. Wish the neighbor would get rid of
it.


Which book?

"The Forgotten Garden." I highly recommend it.

Thank you to whoever recommended "Shadow of the Wind." I finished it
this morning, and really enjoyed it. Wonderfully crafted. Now the
question is - whether to try to get the prequel, now on the NYT
bestseller list - right away, or let the first story "settle" for awhile?

LOL - I'm feeling the same way. But, DH is reffing a double of summer
HS/College hockey tonight, so I'm solo. Which means really light "salad for
dinner" and stitch-a-thon.

I'm sorry. I'm glad that at least this house with the tubes in the walls,
which get charged with pesticide every 3 months, seems to work. We had ants
aboaut 2.5 moonths ago, the guy came out, recharged the tubes, (we were
overdue), and did some stuff in the yard. Ants gone. The dog feed station
is near the sliders to the deck from the breakfast room - and that's where
we had them. But, all cleaned up. Our close friends have been battling the
ant thing for 2 years - it's a mess, they're on the 2nd service, put down
traps, all kinds of things.

Ah, that's a conundrum. If you haven't read the No 1 Ladies Detective
Agency series, start at the beginning and go for it. It's quite uplifting,
IMHO, in the way it just kind of looks at life.

I've thought about picking up that series, but a good friend, with similar
reading taste, did not like it at all.

I'm quite entranced by "The Thirteenth Tale" - enough to consider adding to
my permanent library if I get the chance.

Remind me to find it and bring it the next we get together. So you can read
it whienever you want.
I have book
one. I found it to be ok, but not engrossing enough to pick up book 2. I
have had the Thirteen Tale on my wish list for a while, maybe I pick that
one up next. I have some Borders certificates I need to spend. VEG
