I thought I was going to sit back, but there was still shelves to move
First they had to be painted, then a lesson from Don on drilling, how to put in a molley and then attaching to the wall. Glenda directed from the chair with coffee in hand. Poor Don a wife, a friend and tools. The people on the shelves are not exactly where they will be but it was time to get them out of the basket in the closet. I needed to stop as my hand is once again swollen and sore. So besides the right leg not the right hand! Did I mention the needle in the foot?
As I strolled through the living room a sharp pain in you guessed it , my right foot. This needle is what I pulled out. The problem with carpets is that sometimes when you drop something you do not know you did until... Not to worry, it did not require any tools to pull out. It will be added to my Festival of Needles.
A surprise package arrived on Friday and a new mailperson.
Cousin Janice in Rhode Island sent me these delicious cookies...oh my goodness.
Each cookie is individually wrapped and just perfect; not sweet but flavored just right. These are Sweet Olive Oil Tortas with anise. Their name is Ines Rosales. Thank you sweet Janice for thinking of me with this treat.
I have been slowly stitching on Alice. I am not fond of this motif so it is taking forever. Not much more to finish it so I will push on today with it as much as my hand will allow. This represents the tea party.
I think I may have found the fabric to redo the footstool. Just deciding between two that I had in my stash. Oh before I forget, did I mention The Brother will be here next week?
On Saturday morning around 10 am I thought I saw someone looking at me through the large living room window...I did ...it was a young coyote! I could not grab my camera quickly. The window is to the floor so he had an easy view in. The lanai hummer is busy already this morning patrolling the back yard. I had a restless night so I did not get out there early enough to sweep so it will wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, I will make the bed wash my coffee cup and cereal bowl then settle to stitch. Thank you for visiting today. Than you for the kind words and friendship.
Happy to report the friends I have in Florida are all safe.

You need to relax more hugs I hope you get Alice finished soon.
Oh! Ouch! What wonderful gifts from your cousin. I really like the way Alice is looking.
Gracie: Wow you have been very busy, the shelf looks full of lovely dolls.
The cookies look yummy anything with anise is okay with me.
I am excited for you having your brother come, I was lucky to have my brother and his family for dinner yesterday, I have seen him more since April when our Mother passed then I had the last ten years.
You stitch design is adorable, I am in love with the colors.
Blessings

I always fret when I drop a needle until I can find it... I'm worried a grandchild will step on it or yikes! find it and put it in their mouth! I have found many a needle by stepping on it. I do not recommend this method! haha
A coyote at your window, I have not had that happen yet. I know they jump the fence into our backyard occasionally because my dogs will go out in the morning and go nuts in our yard sniffing the path the coyote took. Enjoy your day!
The dolls look great on their new shelves. Make sure you save some jobs for the Brother Alan though!
I can see why the motif is taking so long, I might be tempted to stitch the background in one strand, it seems quicker somehow!
Ouch, that's quite a needle to discover in your foot! I'm glad the removal caused no complications. You're making quite some progress on Alice, no wonder that motif is taking so long!
