Sunday the 20th
Sunday the 20th with the Grace Lutheran Church service on in the studio. Great start for a new week.
I can piddle away more time in the studio than I had initially planned. Quiet time well spent. Time for reflections, time for memories that pop up if I happen to pick something up off of the mirid of shelves. Oh yes, I actually have a few empty spots where I have been sifting and sorting. Tomorrow will be the day to get the lights on in the studio as well as the lights on the sewing machine. Looking forward to the next challenge.
Dennis’ grandson AJ was out from Mankato this forenoon. He and Dennis always can while away the time over . . . who knows what. It’s very good for Dennis’ soul to have that connection.
Dennis is making supper this evening. The fare is a package of Johnsonville’s beef brats . . . plus. Yesterday I picked up a container of Gerry’s potato salad. Got it home and emptied the contents into a refrigerator container and began adding to it. Three eggs were boiled and then chopped to be added. A half onion was sliced and diced to be added. Over night the flavors have co-mingled to perfection. Coleslaw and bread and butter pickles will round out the offering. I am staying out of the kitchen until I am summoned.
I have finished a stitching project. It was called Congress of Eagles. Five designs of various sizes to honor the 250th celebration of our nation in 2026. Part of what is coming from Amazon will go into putting a finish of the five separate stitching’s.
The afternoon found me digging in my very old stash of stitching fabric. I found a piece of 20 count, 20 “x” stitches per inch. With the help of the magnifier that is next to my right elbow, I think it will work after I check through my file folder for just the right design. Once I am out of bed in the morning, that could be anywhere between eight and ten, I cannot “just sit and veg out.” You know darn well, I will find something to get into, do or try out, to fill my day until bedtime. Idle hands are the work of the devil. Yes, Grandma Laura, I will have something tangible to show for the day my Lord God has given me.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
