It took me all morning to finish the card I was working on. I’ve come to realize that it isn’t just me regarding the issues I’ve had; the two charts are definitely out of whack. I’m going to stick with the smaller chart as I believe it is the more correct one. So, after having to adjust for some counting errors and taking out some of the stitching I’d done previously in the wrong area I finally got it finished. Since this is hardanger and I’m not doing the cutting I had to get out my sketch book to see how I could make it work. It wasn’t perfect by a long shot but it is done.

Once the card was done I found two other cards that I could finish up so that I had enough to get another parcel ready for the mail. This one contained a birthday gift as well so it was time to get it on its way. I went to the post office after the mail had gone out for the day – there were no line-ups at all. They warned me at the counter though that the delivery might be delayed. Even so it should make it to its destination in time.

My studio room is an absolute mess. There is hand stitching bits and pieces on my stitching table, my cutting table is covered with a number of different projects, and my desk has a stack of papers that I need to deal with. I haven’t totally unpacked from Tuesday’s sewing and I’ve got two days of sewing coming up with Stacia and Deloise. I’ve got the Hall newsletter ready in draft form and I’ll have to review it one more time before sending it to the President for her approval.

Pat has an online engagement tonight so I’ll try to get some cutting done for tomorrow’s project and maybe find enough wriggle room to actually do some sewing.
