JOYEUX NOEL --in JULY--et al

 

Since we are having record heat

and humidity here, I am

pretty much staying in our AC.

and Stitching...

I began this on Saturday, transferring 

it to muslin, and backing it with

SF101 for stitching...

After an early food shopping trip this morning,

(Ai yai yai it was hot in

that parking lot!!)

I continued  working on THIS

title for my Christmas Journal..

Here is where I left off today:

The tops and certain parts of these

letters will be filled with white dollops of snow...

And for the first time, I used 

some gold metallic thread on the

baubles...

It's no where near perfect stitching--but then

there is no "perfect" around here.;)))

I am trying out new filling stitches

and looking them up and

trying to learn as I go...

So I have the snowflakes and the 

little drifts of snow to finish...

************************

This Thursday-- slated to be the

hottest day in this mini heat wave

we are having--

 we will be getting

our leaking living room windows 

replaced:

Here is what the room looks like

now that Tom took down 

the curtains and  blinds in 

preparation...and moved

the furniture out of the way...

It feels like we just moved in!!!

We will have to turn OFF

the AC--

AND

I know

it will be 

HOT HOT HOT

in here.

😒😓😓

{S I G H }

This is a big window to be leaking 

[both for AC and heat];

and the small window on the right

has failed and mold has begun to 

grow on it!!

ACK!!!

👾👾👾

So it really has to be done

The workers tell us it will be a 

half-day job--

Fingers crossed that it will only

take that long...

And that is what is happenin' around 

the House on the Hill

today....

Stay cool everyone

and safe....

hugs, julierose,
