Snow Day

There was no stitching done yesterday. Aida did take an afternoon nap but her spot of choice was my lap. I gave up trying to work around her after I'd bopped her on the head with my hoop a half dozen times. That girl has zero padding anywhere, and I swear she's all knees and elbows when she's sleeping next to me at night. Luckily I had a new Book of the Month selection to dive into (A Killing Cold by Kate Alice Marshall... creepy family, remote location, no cell service... my kind of book!).
 
So today was all about getting that snow finished once and for all...
I'm happy to report I have finished all the white stitching on this piece! White has never been my favorite to stitch with and this project needed almost an entire skein of it! That's 8.7 yards! Times three because I was using two of the six strands! That's over 26 yards of white stitching! 78 feet! That's like 14 of me laying head to toe! If I could get her to hold still long enough I could tell you how many Aida's that would be! Best guess is around 35 and no one needs that many Aida's!

Speaking of... are dogs like children? When they're babies you tell yourself never again, one is enough, but then they get to be a certain age and you start thinking, how bad could having another one be?

I should ask myself that question tonight when all those knees and elbows are jabbing into me!
