Kinda Sad

February 24, 2021

There were more people coming to look at the house yesterday afternoon. Vince was sitting on the porch and he called me. He told me he had sent Jeremy pictures . . the solar powered well, the greenhouse, the big front porch, the shop . . Vince was outside walking around while the people were looking at the house and just taking pictures and sending them. He said Jeremy said something like "You ...

Not Very Observant

February 24, 2021

I kinda feel like I'm pretty observant. I'll say to Vince "did you see this or that? He never notices anything. I'll even sometimes say "I think there's a spot on the wall by the door." He'll look over at it and say "No. I don't see it" when it's plainly there. Yesterday when I was cooking my food out on the hot plate on the deck, I walked through the sunroom and looked up at the ...

Progress on A House Is . .

February 24, 2021

I'm loving this project. A reader had mentioned that I should do a house before I bought any more charts with houses because it seems people either really like or really dislike doing houses. This one has been fun because I'm loving the tonal thread and seeing how it's going to end up. In the bottom right corner of the house, there's a little splotch (I love that word too!) of darker thread and I ...

Scallops

February 23, 2021

I love seafood of all kinds. At Aldi yesterday I bought a package of bay scallops and a package of sea scallops.

The scallops are seared in butter, a little garlic, Lawry's salt and pepper are ...

Smith Sampler

February 23, 2021

At least I called it the right name. It will always be Smith House to me. Before I get into this . . if anyone looks, I changed the projects on my Projects 2021 page and put them in alphabetical order. I had originally planned to list them in the order in which I started them, thinking I might shame myself into not letting projects linger and not get finished but then with just a few projects, ...

The Mixer Bowl

February 23, 2021

The night the mixer bowl got stuck, after trying unsuccessfully to get it loose, I took my turkey baster and squirted a little cooking oil around the base of the bowl, thinking that might help loosen it. The next day, which might have been yesterday but maybe not . . I tried a couple of times. It wouldn't budge. I put the left side of the mixer against the side o the appliance garage to keep the ...
