It would have been totally amazing to sleep in this morning. No cat nagging me starting somewhere between 0430-0515 making sure that his breakfast was in his dish NLT 0600. However, someone had a meeting in South San Francisco and had asked for a ride to BART in order to catch the 0730. Instead, with an alarm set to go off at 0700 – someone woke me up seriously before that since he had figured out that if he caught the 0715 BART he would be in time for the connecting shuttle from BART at the far end. This would save him significant hassle. Not sure why he thought that I needed more than 5 minutes to get out the door, but there you have it.
After dropping him off, I made a detour to Peet’s figuring that I probably deserved some coffee…
Unlike most days where I get bored and switch projects every couple of hours- I put in time on only two: Treasure Island Part 14 –
The border has a lot of stitches – the weird looking thing is the start of a pair of cutlasses, and then there are legs…
My final start of the month is the Savana Elephant from Lindy Stitches. Technically this is part 2/6 with a new pattern being released every two months. The previous one was the Amur Leopard which I posted 22 March. This one is essentially the same size. The fabric is a 16ct neutral (lambs something or other) and the called for DMC + I am substituting Gentle Arts Driftwood and Aged Pewter for the called for Weeks & CCW.
It doesn’t look like much at the present but is actually over 1000 stitches (16%) which means that I can probably get it finished (in rotation with the other SALs) before the next pattern is released 20 May.
Tomorrow is going to be another “thrilling” day – there is laundry to do….
