I love my yellow highlighter!
and I would be lost without it...
when I saw mizz flea using one, it was like a bulb went off in my pea-brain.
what a stroke of genius!!
(I'm sure lots of you use one too as you're stitching along,
it just takes me a little longer than most i guess!)
it truly does keep me on track of my stitches...
and believe me,
i can get waaaayyyy off track ~
I also do this:
scribble all over my chart.
(oh the horror!)
but it is a quick way to count and remember what you've just counted....
the remaining braincells that I have are under lots of stress from MENopause and
i simply cannot remember what i counted three seconds ago.
(what was i saying?....)
ha!
but, I am enjoying my stitching on the patio today ~
finishing up the Little Red Schoolhouse model for the next LSHC kit.
it is pretty out today, not too hot or cold with a slight breeze.
every once in a while a little hummingbird comes to the feeder or a chicken or 6 walks past me.
~ peaceful & serene ~
especially nice now since the blasted cicada's have gone
to wherever-it-is-they-go for another 17 years. ugh.
and my table was brightened even more by the gift of some sweet gardenia blooms
from friends Jane & Steve...
aaahhhhh...thank you friends!
so here is where I am at presently with the model...
working on the tree to the right of the schoolhouse.
I had mentioned in a previous post
that I think you'll like the finish idea I have for this one ~
it involves an old book.
any old book you may have lying around
that you wouldn't mind repurposing into something pretty.
or any old book that you can find at a thrift store, goodwill or yardsale....
an old book that is approx. 6" x 8" or a little larger perhaps.
UPDATED***** you will definitely need a book no smaller than 6" x 8"
sorry about my miscalculation!!!

so if you are a member of our LSHC,
you'll need to begin the hunt for an old book for this project!
