Pisces

There is a cross stitch series designed by Nora Corbet called the Zodiac Girls. Not that you remember, but Aquarius was the first I stitched in the series which made Pisces the obvious second.

Rather than skip around on a number of projects today – I decided to see if I could get the stitching part completed.

and here she is – with it taking me 1521 additional stitches today. Which I will admit is likely to be the most that I have ever put into a single project at once.  There is still beading to go – about 780 beads worth as well as some back stitching. But that is for the present time. 

Meanwhile, Alex is steadily doing better. Noah has moved downstairs to the now vacant apartment and the house seems terribly quiet – no feet over my head nor dogs barking downstairs. I am thinking about asking Dani for a recording that we can put on an alarm system……

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!
