I was able to blissfully stitch the day away yesterday. You can see I made a little headway on my first wing, too!
I'm quite happy with the way it looks, so I'll continue with the black, and will add the signature orange as well. Optimistic Me thinks I might even finish this wing today! Come back tomorrow if you want to see how much I did today.
After a (for me) long day of work, all I really want to do is make a cup of tea and put my feet up, but (thankfully), I don't live alone.
I always make that cup of tea (right after I change clothes into something comfortable), but I know that making (or helping make) dinner is also on the agenda. So, if I don't bring dinner home with me, the next best thing is to shop my pantry. It's for times like these that my/our canning efforts seem so worthwhile.
Last night, all I had to do was thaw out a few frozen shrimp, boil fettuccini noodles, and heat a jar of the Alfredo sauce I canned last winter. Add a few heat n' serve rolls, and in less than a half hour, dinner was served.
It was delicious, too, thanks to the great recipes I've gleaned from the channels I follow on Facebook or Instagram. I'm so grateful for the women who unselfishly share their knowledge and recipes. That's why I'm always happy to share what I find.
Handsome did cleanup last night, so I thanked him and went to bed early. My plan today is to work more on my monarch. I'm looking forward to making some progress on the first wing. Plus, the restful act of putting needle and thread to fabric is just what I need. I'll share an update tomorrow
As you can see, there isn't much progress to share. I started stitching in the morning before we went to my appointment, but when we got back home and I looked at my work, I was less than happy with it. You know me. I took it all out and started over. This was all the progress I made on my second run at it.
I'm working today, so I'll share something else tomorrow. I doubt I'll get any "after work" needle dancing in when I get back home. I'd better go now. See you later!
