One Thread A Day and Freebie Talk

 I pulled this out last night from time out

ready to tackle all the over ones

the plan is to do one thread per day

some progress is better than none

I've done much more than that since last night

but maybe only one thread in total of the "ones"

they are the partial flower and door on the branch to the right

pattern is Berry Cottage 

by Plum Street Samplers

an old freebie from Betty Dekat

she has a lot of free designs linked on her blog

The Sampler Maker's Farmhouse; Primitive, Vintage, Farmhouse Decor.: Free Primitive Cross Stitch Charts (samplermakerfarmhouse.blogspot.com)

this one I stitched without the border

after choosing to stitch it on prairie cloth

ugh, big mistake

I'll keep that for uncounted stitching from now on

Above are some links to freebies

I hope they work

if not they should be easy to figure out

Be sure to look around the blogs, search for freebies

many designers have more than one

I like them for fast little stitches

but I'm happy to support the artists

by purchasing their other patterns...

otherwise they'll stop designing!

Happy Monday friends

On My Frame

as always

Pinterest images inspire my latest rug...

Pinterest Wandering

still feeling like crap

just can't shake this crud

so my down time is spent looking online

between naps, visiting mom and going to work

these girls are the work of Julie Arkell

the little one is me...

a dedicated collector of dust

 

another of her pieces

love the ponderous 

 

here's Julie

I'd feel very at home in that room

almost too pretty to use

with my eyes still bothering me

I've stayed far away from my wool

maybe I can bring home a face shield from surgery

so I can at least organize

who am I kidding

I just want to sleep when I'm not at work

I want a cupboard like this!

maybe more than one...

Happy Weekend!

Pinterest Birds



these both made me smile today...

Diversions

I've taken some Family Medical Leave time

to spend with Dad...

doing all the things an overworked, understaffed

 nursing home staff can't get to...

sleeping is pretty much out of the question right now

no matter what 

my head doesn't stop at night

so I've been gathering more items for the big

animal shelter garage sale later this month

one thing for sure being donated...

that wretched hula hoop that has defeated me!

the other diversion?

what else...

Pinspiration

I'm still here

looking at Pinterest way too much

stitching on little quilts...

no time getting the camera right

Mom has been having some health issues

so I'm over there more often

or on the phone for them...

So when I do finally take photos

there will be plenty to share...

these 3 photos

are current favorites for inspiration

the cross stitched sampler is screaming

"hooked rug" to me
