Time seems to fly and at the same time it drags if that makes sense, I suppose it depends on how you look at things, when you are waiting for something to happen then it seems to drag but when you look at the date, October already you think here we are nearly at the end of another year, where has it gone?
Things have moved on a bit since my last post but there is still a lot of stuff up in the air which could take sometime but thank goodness for the things that keep us sane like this...
After visiting Linda at Crafty Gardener I see yet another SAL has started from Stitchdoodles Stitch a Leaf a Day what fun! it's a free template too, do I have time to do this too do you think? I'll certainly have a try but I'll have to play catch up it's day two already.
My builder knocked on my door at 7pm the other night and said I'm going to start on your bathroom he gutted it and this is how it looks now..
I'm linking with Kathy's Slow Stitching Sunday I love to see what everyone has been up to there's so much inspiration.
Have a great Sunday 😊
What a cute embroidery!!! At first glance, I thought you were doing some rug hooking. We are in the midst of a reno too. Hope yours moves along soon.

Lovely embroidery ! Beautiful bright colors !
ReplyDeleteBuilders are the same everywhere...unfortunately...Why don't they finish what they start ? They would be pay promptly and we would be happy quickly...
Have a nice week !

I saw the stitch along at Stitchdoodles, and did think about joining. Thanks for the shout out, did you join the October stitch along there. I think I'll have a hard time doing just one leaf a day. Good to see you at Slow Stitching Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHoping your contracter comes back soon to finish the job! Your stitching is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I almost bought this pattern so I'm delighted to see your lovely work on it. Nice covering stitching. Hope the worker comes back...very annoying if he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteYours embroidery is looking good Linda and I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes along next time we meet. I'm glad to hear that Dirk finally made an appearance - but he started at 7pm??? What time did he finish? It's disgraceful to leave you in that situation - I hope he left you with a working toilet? Let's hope he turns up again tomorrow. Babs xxx
ReplyDeletePretty embroidery, Stitch Doodles has some wonderful designs. Such a wonderful picture in your header too!
ReplyDeleteThat is a terrible state to leave your washroom in! I do hope it is repaired quickly this week! In the meantime, you can stitch your frustrations out... it does keep us sane!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
Your embroidery is very pretty. I am looking forward to seeing those candy canes. So sorry about the contractor.
ReplyDeleteCute little cabin, you did a wonderful embroidery, Linda. Hope the work come back to finish the job soon.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope the workman come back to do more on your bathroom soon.
All the best Jan
Oh no! I do hope your builder has since returned. I'm not surprised you're angry.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery is beautiful. Such a cute little cabin. Xx

I totally get the time dragging thing/time flying thing. Summer seemed to drag as I awaited my hand surgery, then all of a sudden I was in the surgery center in a hospital gown - wondering if I was really ready to do this! Now time is dragging as I feel hampered in doing the things I want to do, but I know a few months from now I'll be dazed and amazed at what I can do (I hope, anyway). I love that Festive Forest SAL. And I considered (for about two seconds) participating in the Leaf a Day SAL - 'till I remembered my splinted hand. I will enjoy stitching and crocheting vicariously through you, Linda. I look forward to all your pretty, often whimsical creations.
ReplyDeleteI understand exactly what you mean about time, I can't believe we're into October already, but at the same time, things that happened at the start of the year seem long ago now. I can't believe the builder left your bathroom in that state, well I can, it's par for the course with tradesmen I'm afraid. It's so annoying. I hope he's been back to get on with the job.
