{ seeing the light... }

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!
