Auditioning

Tonight's photo of a barn makes me think of a big birdhouse...if I had cropped out the barn sides...then it would have looked even more like one. Now for an explanation about tonight's blog title, Auditioning. I spent the afternoon doing what I call auditioning fabric. I have gone through fabrics that I have on hand...some just scraps and others a good size piece...looking for the perfect ones to go with the ornaments that I cross stitched over the last months. That is one of the steps in getting ready to make them into ornaments. So one step closer to having fully finished ornaments...finally having them finished is still a ways off in the future! But taking steps in that direction. I pressed fabric and the stitched pieces today, also. I woke up really early and stitched for a while. I have gotten underway with another row for this section of the sampler I am working on. I have done a few things around the house and did another load of laundry. I have gone over tonorrow's Sunday School lesson and think that is as ready as it is going to be! My little five-year-old neighbor came over with a timer in his hands wanting to play with things in the toy closet for a half hour. I have also read more on the book I started a couple of days ago. I am now more than half way finished with it. I cleaned up the kitchen...not much to do, except put a few dishes in the dishwasher as I didn't do any cooking...just warming up things today. I have ingredients to make my next soup...a good job for a quiet Sunday afternoon after church. I plan to stitch this evening. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
