Enjoying a Slow Stitching Sunday...

Another glorious day here in Oho and I'm enjoying the sun streaming through the windows. I have my front door open and through my storm door I see a steady stream of people walking in my neighborhood. I live in a mid-century built neighborhood with sidewalks and front porches and I LOVE it!  My house sits on a corner that does get a bit of traffic but I don't mind it as so many interesting things pass by. I think I may be turning into Gladys Kravitz (and you have to be of a certain age to remember her)... but instead of thinking of myself as nosy, I prefer the terms "interested" or "concerned"... sounds less judgemental, doesn't it?

Anyway a bit more cross stitching got done last week. Here's where I am on  my Fragments in Time...

Excuse the wrinkles...I finished this block except for some flowers in the border...

And not much more for this block...

I had several nice stay at home evenings and was quite productive. However, I think I'm going to start a small new Spring project. I came across a little Lizzie Kate piece I think I can whip up pretty quickly. Just need to pull the threads.

And I decided that my bunny candy dish looked forlorn and empty so I bought some jelly beans today...

well, I do LOVE the black jelly beans, but that doesn't look very festive...

I suppose that is better... I'll eat my black jelly beans out of the bag! Do you like the black jelly beans? I find that licorice and coconut are either LOVE or HATE flavors... I LOVE them both!

No Downton Abbey tonight because of the Oscars. I may watch a bit to see the dresses but other than that I don't have any interest. After last week's Downton episode I was at loose ends. I hated to see Edith unhappy again and I was totally ticked off at Mary. I've never been a fan of Mary, I like Cora, Edith, Isobel and Violet and of course Sybil when she was alive, but Mary has always rubbed me the wrong way. I told myself that I wasn't going to watch the last episode before it aired but I couldn't wait after last week. I opened the DVD and I will say that they did a very good job of wrapping up story lines. I won't give anything away and while I'm sad that it is over, it ended on a upbeat note.

So I may have time for a little nap this afternoon before my son and daughter-in-law come for dinner. Big Dude is happy to show me how it is done!

I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts today and Super Mom - No Cape tomorrow.

happy stitching-
