Cleaning the Craft Closet.




Afternoon it's been a busy day. I got up this morning and out I went with Bosie for our morning walk, the sun was shining but a cool wind.

Arrive home and was making my breakfast when I thought this would be a good day to do a load of laundry and vacumn the sewing room and downstairs hallway. Well down I went and lo and behold I made the mistake of looking in the closet, of course, as I had been making and finishing Christmas presents wool was on the floor, stencils scattered lids off boxes etc. So I started picking up not throwing out but straightening, hiding, tidying up etc. when I should have been sorting and getting rid of goodies but I am a pack rat so will do this another day. I finished about noon so no vacumning was done another day it's lunch time.

I worked for about an hour on my sampler with the herringbone stitch.

The first row is DMC5 colour orange and DMC8 colour white both pearl cotton.

The second row is Neon Rays colour light green and Patina colour dark green these threads were left over from a workshop I did many years ago.

I have also put up a picture of the ort box which was a workshop at the guild. I really enjoyed doing this.

Well I haven't mastered how to put the pictures where I want them to go seems, it seems to always go on top of the document. I know you can place them in between text but don't know how yet.

My son Trevor dropped in he has a booth at the flea market selling knitted goods and craft items from Eucador seems he needed some repairs done.

I will say good nite for now and perhaps I will stitch a bit more.

Hugs Mary Ann
