Colouring and Varnishing

Today has been a busy day at home.  Dave made pizza dough and sauce, he will cook the pizzas for supper on the egg.  He also made bbq sauce.  I made molasses cookie dough (it is resting in the fridge) and will bake the cookies tonight.  

Dave & I also put the second coat of varnish on the Mini Max Big Green Egg table we built a few weeks ago.  Third (final) coat is tomorrow and then a week of drying in the house before putting it outside to live in the harsh Canadian winter weather.  I'll show a photo when it is completely finished.

Today I spent time colouring in my Harry Potter colouring book.  So far I think I will colour the pages in order in the book.  That might change when I get to a page I'm not crazy about.

The Martian

Dave & I both read the book tonight we are watching the Blu ray The Martian.

No stitching tonight ... Just planning

I didn't get any stitching done tonight.  I have always been 99% a One-at-a-time stitcher.  Having too many projects on the go stresses me out.

Here are my big projects to work on at home using my floor stand.

1. Finish Snowman Wisdom.

2. Decide what to do with I Shall Wear Plaid Trousers (UFO started 3+ years ago).

This is my progress ... but I'm not happy with the chart (letters/words are not always the same).  Do I continue or frog and rechart the words.

3. Paradise - start and maybe finish.

I will bring small Just Nan projects to my Tuesday Night Stitcher's Club.  These are not in any particular order.

1. Miss Witchy Mouse 

2. Witchy's Sister Mouse

3. Juliet Mouse

4. Gingerbread Reindeer Mouse

5. Gingerbread Angel Mouse

6. Emma & Eliza's Christmas Tree

7. Romeo Mouse (not released yet)

8. Fifteen Floral (15 sided Biscornu)

Snowman Wisdom update #11

Tonight I started the pine tree on the right side of the front yard and the lamp post.

Snowman Wisdom update #10

I continued stitching the fence boards.

I thought maybe you might like to see what it will look like when it is finished.

Snowman Wisdom update

I continued working on Snowman Wisdom.  I finished the carrot nose and did 2 more fence boards.

Also Sarah (my son Jordyn's girlfriend) finished the last spiritual stone and I helped her frame it.  She started another Zelda project, it is a birthday gift for one of her younger her sisters.

Happy Dance

This is my first Happy Dance of 2016,  I finished the back stitching on Just Nan's Strawberry Bunny.  Sorry for the terrible photo.

I also worked on Snowman Wisdom by Sue Hillis, my snowman still needs a carrot.
