Deadly Aquarium Part 8

was released today. I managed to stitch both this release and work on the small bit of frame remaining to be stitched.

This week it was the two sting rays and some plant or another.

It was another day of not going anywhere or doing much of anything. This was where I started on Miss Yellow Mushroom (this, thank goodness, is the third of the three..)

I would like to claim I am making rapid progress, but really, I guesstimate that I had about 1800 stitches left in that “skirt.”  The 600 + today  helps but that still leaves me with arms, legs and an almost equally huge mushroom cap..

I ended my evening by listening to Shabbat Services from University Synagogue. They have the remote broadcast technology down flawlessly. Why this one? Well, I have a decades long friend who is part of their choir…

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!
