Mostly Mira

Or actually under the name of Nora Corbett. But anyway – it was an unusual stitching day for me. I really only worked on one project which resulted in visible progress. Not unexpected for 1400+ stitches. If I had had a particular specialty floss in my staff (apparently ordered but not in stock when the pattern was sent) I might have finished those last 500 stitches which would have left it ABB (All but beads).

specifically – this is Aries from the Zodiac Girl series – What is left is finishing up the one lower side to match the other – the missing color on the empty side, a couple of strands of stitching and a few hundred stitches on the top. And beads, let us not forget the beads….

On other front – nothing exciting in the mail and no cleaning accomplished.

Wait! I emptied a waste basket and took a box down to the garage – does that count?

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!
