Tete a tete

Daffodils they are.  Five inches tall.

January 2024 a friend gave me a small pot with tete a tete daffodils in it.  They were beautiful in a cold, snowy winter.  I kept them alive after the flowers were finished and planted them in a bed with larger daffodils.  I wasn't sure if they would come back but it was worth a try.  When I drove down the driveway this week, I saw this little spot of yellow.  They came back!!  

Spring has arrived in the Berkshires!!    

Season and Time by Moira Blackburn had not been stitched on since December 2024.  Since I can see small stuff again she was worked on.  This section was stitched to the point that it needed to be moved.

Moved it was and that tree has sections that I have unstitched twice.  Miscounted.  It is waiting for me as I type to remove another section.  More miscounting.  That is how my day will begin, and I really hope not how it ends.


Enjoy your threads.  After I have frogged again, I will enjoy mine.  ;)

Vision

Good day.  This is being written on Saturday afternoon.  The last two weeks have been busy and wonderful.  April 2nd and 16th, Cataract surgery was done on my eyes.  The results have been very pleasing except for one thing.  I can easily see the dust in my house now.  Darn, I need to remedy that.  

I used to wear contacts to see and used readers to do handwork.  You need to be without contacts for one month before they can measure your eyes for IOL lens.  My contacts ran out at the end of November and my bifocal glasses weren't proper enough to be able to see to sew fine work.  (My cataract evaluation was the first week in December.  First opening in the schedule for surgery was April.)  

No problem now.

My April block for Laurel Ridge BOM is now done.  

The buttons have now been stitched onto this project bag.  

The pincushion has also been stitched.  It is amazing how much clearer I can see the linen, easier to stitch.  Now on to the scissor fob.  That will be my slow stitching for Sunday.


May all of you have a Blessed Easter.
