Found so many lovely patterns at this site and a few others... But I wanted to see something finished first.
123 stitch Priority envelope...(Mailed on Monday the 13th...Due on Thursday the 16th.arrived on Wednesday the 22nd) My floss for the birthday girls, a few other threads, a pkg of floss away bags, three 13 x 17 fabrics (Wichelt orange jobelan, PTP flash & pewter) and 3 charts (Heart in Hand Holiday Hound,the workbasket Mini Samplers, and Hands on Design the good ship sampler) - and.... the JCS 2020 Halloween issue.
Trying to not fall down another rabbit hole... I discovered some diamond paintings of artwork by some of my favorite HEAD artists.
Other:
DH Dr. visit changed to a phone call visit - first one of that kind of appointment.. Saved DH 90 miles of traveling.
Macey saw her first squirrel on the property.. she tugged at her leash and tried to jump in the air to go after it.. good thing it climbed the crabapple tree.. now to train her not to chase...Also saw some turkey tail feathers on the ground during her walk.Not sure what got it...no carcass..bur feathers were strewn all over the property...some distance apart.
Macey went to vet on Wednesday. Had her teeth
cleaned & 3 broken teeth pulled. We also noticed early last week while trimming her nails,
that she had a cut on the bottom of her front right foot - Dr. looked and said she's okay....
Saw this moth on the outside of our screen - it isn't a Luna Moth..but it was large (more than 4").. stayed there for several hours.
Until next time,
Have a wonderful day! Lisa M.
