Happy new year everyone! Apologies for the late post; though in my defense it's still the morning of the 9th here in Seattle!
I'm spending the weekend cleaning out our terrifying pantry, taking everything out, painting the walls and washing the shelves, and putting things away again. We often do a "pantry harvest" and "freezer harvest" project in January, but we've lived here for 15 years and have never actually gone in and done a full clearance. So wish us luck -- both with the clearout and the "interesting" meals we'll be having for the next couple of weeks!
Last time I had just finished the top half of Great Wave. Thanks for all the cheering, and yes, I did a little happy dance:
I rolled the frame and started to stitch the bottom half. It's nice to have all the blues!
Here's a close-up of the column and a bit I stitched:
This is looking lovely! Best of wishes with the pantry painting, cleaning, and the interesting meals this will mean in the next few weeks. ;) Our menu for the week is utilizing foods from the freezer. A complete inventory of the pantry is on our To Do List this weekend, too... I hope you find some happy stitching time!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, those blues are lovely! I've just noticed you roll your frame the opposite way to me. I like the sound of a pantry full of forgotten goodies :-)
ReplyDeleteI love those blues too. I am with you on the deep cleaning, I was scrubbing the kitchen floor earlier!
ReplyDeletelook at you go with all the blues ^^
ReplyDeleteand good luck on the pantry clean out ^^
Great progress and good luck with your painting!
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful progress. Your work (tension) is so perfectly perfect. I tackled that project in December and it feels so good when its done!
