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.
πŸ˜’πŸ˜“πŸ˜“

{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!!!
πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘ΎπŸ‘Ύ
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....
