Wasn't it just Monday, Monday a few minutes ago? It seems like every time I turn around another week and weekend has flown by.
Three marathon stitching nights have produced the following progress:

I really wish I could adequately capture the color of this. I am being a very good girl and pulling two strands and stitching with them, rather than just one and folding it in half to use the loop method. I realize now that doing it properly really allows the varieagation of the thread to show.
Spent some time on the YouTube last night trying to learn how to begin and end threads differently. I would like to learn how to do everything on the top of my work so that I don't have to constantly flip over to the backside...thinking ahead to diaylsis tme when I might need to really immobilize my arm and need to reduce moving it.
Today was grocery day and I am re-stocked with provisions for the next few weeks. I still don't have any appetite at all, but I did manage to get some good stuff to at least make sure I get a little nutrition...honeycrisp apples the size of softballs, brussels sprouts to roast with shallots, and my NewYork bagels to have in the morning with crunchy peanut butter! At the moment, I have a chicken breast cooking away in the toaster oven...I figure I'll put that on top of a little pasta tonight with a little spinach salad on the side.
Hmmmm...between all of this healthy stuff and the gallons of lemon water I'm guzzling you'd think I was some kind of health nut instead of a portly spinster in need of a cheeseburger!
Hope your week is off to a good start...here's to another Monday!
