Whippy Wednesday

 Progress for this past month

on my stitching.

Jeny Brimer first,

When you have finished one row and then

you get to to the final letters of the row

underneath...and realize you made a mistake.

Do you frog it out? 

Cut the floss out and re-stitch?

Or just move on?

Do you see my error?

I stitched the teal blue letter "W" wrong.

I am leaving it.

I dont' care.

Added in my grandfather's names/ dates.

Glad I decided to do this pattern for 

my grandfathers as there are lots of the browns and blues.

The motifs will have more color though.

Almost Finished with the letters now.

I do not understand any of these.

They must have had some meaning to 

Jeny though.

While most of the samplers I chose

for my heritage wall had alphabets included

in the patterns...

Jeny Briner does not have an entire alphabet.

Therefore I used my resource book for

 the perfect alphabet to add in my grandparents names.

I went to the alphabets and chose one that 

was seven stitches high like the others in the pattern.

This book also has various sized numbers and lots

of motifs. A great resource book for stitchers. 

Made more progress on Elizabeth Manners 1843.

Finished stitching the quote/ saying. 

Although you cannot tell from this pic,

am stitching this on 35 count Angel Hair linen,

which has a yellow tone to it.

Also I am loving the rich colors in this piece.

Progress on Faith 1831.

Finished the second swag plus 

the final half swag and border on the right.

Now I need Faith to finish the one over one

saying in the middle.

Either that or I just need to put my big girl panties

on and plug along.

I detest one over one can you tell?

Finally Floral Motif Sampler.

Managed to only get one more motif stitched.

Am loving this pattern though.

Hope to get more stitchy time on this one 

this month....then again I want to stitch

more patriotic...so who knows what will win out.

In other news,

my brother and I met my friend Monday

at my mom's house to discuss her doing

the estate sale for us.

She said it was a lot of stuff...but not the worst

house to set up for an estate sale.

I told her I could help her out 3 days a work...

so that made her feel better.

Bob got out our Blackstone grill and made

chicken kabobs also on Monday for us.

I made potato salad to go with on Sunday.

We had so much leftover we had kabobs for dinner

again on Tuesday and made a rice pilaf.

Also Tuesday, our friend Ed and doggie sitter

came by to see us and his granddog.

We affectionately call him Grandpa Ed.

He and his wife snowbird to Florida in the Winter.

He returned Sunday .

When Tundra saw him get out of his car

he started whining so loud and started

pawing the window.

When he approached the door, he was waiting

for him and was so excited.   

It was a wonderful reunion.

Tonight we are going on a buying pick for our store

 around dinner time.

I received a gift certificate to one of

our fav restaurants nearby, so that will be dinner.

An Italian restaurant....cannot wait.

Hope everyone is enjoying your week thus far.

May Blessings To All!
