After Alex (SIL) had breakfast at Mel’s Diner we made a couple of stops on the way back to his & Dani’s house. Since Michaels is across the street from Mel’s – well that was an obvious stop to pick up several skeins of floss. Plus the Flamingo on sale. More on it tomorrow once it has found its place among the others.
Then it was on to Walgreens followed by Ralleys’ Grocery where I found the following on sale. I mean, I have seen Halloween Candy corn often. It makes perfect sense. I have even seen some Xmas candy corn. But Summer/US Patriotic?
Please note – they seem to be proud of being US based. What is more, the company states it was founded in 1950….
Just in case you could see the obvious colors…. and it actually has a bit of citrus flavor. What? You thought I was going to save it till July? Not hardly…
I managed to get home in time for what I thought would be the Thursday IM Grand Rounds from UCSF only to find that they had failed to update their website. No link, no conference, an hour gifted back to me.
So I managed to make some significant progress on the Elephant –
which actually doesn’t look like a whole lot for more than 700 stitches. Then I went on to finish the remaining cross stitching on Poison Apple and started to move on to the backstitching. I still have most of it + the beading to go..
and then there is Vampyrum with the frame completed and 2/4 of the weird things stitched. The next part of the chart is released on the 18th so I think I have enough time.
and it is off to bed early, or at least aimed toward a relaxing computer game or two.
