Haunting the clock

The new sections drop about the first of each month. I had started on the new section right about the first and then became distracted by wanting to finish both Ms Yellow Mushroom and Sapphires in Sunshine.

This is slightly more than 50% of this month’s section :

I am doing some minor alterations on the pattern. For example, not extending the hill out past the tree nor adding yet another tombstone there. The second part of this section obviously is the rest of the building, more hill & ground, another tree, more pumpkins and yet a few more tombstones. It is a fair amount of stitching. I haven’t decided if I am going to take it along to Alaska. It certainly would be an easy stitch to work on in the evenings.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
