Happy week end

Since it is never Sunday when I write about Sundays I will call it " a weekend" instead ! Well Sunday has continued with the wild weather we have had for three days. We went to 9 am Mass ( late for us) in the hope that the rain may ease but indeed it did not and the wind is so bad umbrellas are useless. There were trees down and lots of small branches on the road as it blew a gale all last night

All the beaches in our area are closed and the river is in flood ( no danger to anyone though) and the surf is enormous and very high as there is a very high tide as well.

A good day for a nice stew for lunch - started already. I started it in the microwave when we got home. We love a wet cool day for such a treat - salads are great on hot days but since we have so many hot days a change is wonderful.

After lunch I will get back to scanning my photos - up to about 1750 so far and only half way through 1984 ! So I will not be out of work for a long time

Did I tell you that DD#2, Colleen, gave me a cross stitch disk for Christmas along with the scanner. It is great, one can take any picture and turn it into a cross stitch chart. I am going to do one of her first horse for her for Christmas and for Shauna one of a great lion photo she took when in Namibia.

Better get back to work - listing all the above made me feel I will never get it all done Have a great weekend God Bless Gwen

What a great idea! What is the name of the disk?

You, too, Gwen.

Hi Gwen, indeed it is the weekend here as well....LOL we are at the last bit of Saturday. Was a lovely day, good enough to walk into town to pick up the weekend paper. I was to walk home as well, since Otto was cleaning up a "widow maker" blown over tree that was hung up on other trees. Lucky for me I met a friend at the super market and she drove me home again. I started spinning, a brand new fleece, gone through our local mill. It is a Newzealand grey Lincoln fleece from Ashford. I am sampling for rug yarn. Have in mind to make a it hard twisted four ply. That means fairly thin yarn, to get a medium size to weave with.

The weather has been wild here as well, and I hear from my family in Holland that it has been much colder than usual, also with many wind storms. Scanning of old pictures is fun, but when I do it I always get sidetracked. Using filters and other fun affects in Adobe Photo shop.

Your software to make pictures into crosstich patterns sound like a lot of fun. Show is your horse adventure in stitch when you are finished with it

Have a great weekend

Els who is now going to bed, up to the Sunday

Wow, your weather does sound ideal for staying indoors and having a nice hot stew!

You must be really enjoying looking at all those pictures as you are scanning them... bringing back memories and all. :o)

That cross-stitch disk sounds neat, and I'm sure the pictures of the horse and the lion will look beautiful done up in cross-stitch. I hope you can show us the finished projects when they are ready.

I have a few things to try to do today too, so I likely won't be online for very long. Wishing everyone a very nice weekend (it's 10:20 AM Sunday here) too!
