AND SO....

Since that marking debacle and losing heart about it, I've been in my little 
diamond painting spot...I prepared a new canvas and have begun to calm
myself down doing this...it is very serene work ...(aaaahhh...)

This one uses little square drills...








42 colors...all in the
lovely pinks and 
salmons family







                                     Here are the ROSES! Aren't they
                                                pretty????

                                     and I have a start...

 placing all those little square drills is very slow work
and takes concentration--takes my mind off of....well.....that other
THING!!..;)))

*********************************************
Here is my dining room; now housing all my living room furniture,
too. See that exhausted hubby there?  At least we had piano
movers take care of my piano....that would have been just
too much...
He really did the bulk of that moving...at 80, he is
still very strong....but neither of us wants to do this again
We feel as if we are just moving in;0000.

And here is my almost emptied living room awaiting the 
carpet installers tomorrow...

We've just left two chairs so we can sit and have our 4 o'clock 
cocktails....we really needed one yesterday....
[you can see the 3rd quilt I ever made--the bargello-style 
on the far wall] 
****************************************
Tomorrow will be my final eye exam after my laser surgery...

🙆🙈😺 I can see so much better, it is amazing...;)))

That's it for today,

  2. Those roses are going to be so beautiful!

    I'm sure the new carpet will be worth all the disruption in the end.

  3. You'll be happy once the rug is in but definitely a pain to get the room ready. I love the rose diamond painting. Gorgeous!!

  5. That diamond painting design was made for you--lovely! It's pretty exciting to get new carpeting--worth the disruption, I'm sure!

  6. The drill placing looks beyond my fumbling fingers. Looking good! Moving furniture is never fun and my hubs does way too much for his age. Mine is 68 and he tries to act like he is 30. The light in your living room is wonderful. I had laser surgery (lens replacement in both eyes followed by two "clean-up" procedures) and I am happy that I did. I am looking at more eye surgery down the road and am putting it off as long as possible. I just keep sewing ... :) Pat
