Progress report

Pool guy picked up the paperwork & took it to the city. He says they accepted it & will probably get back to him within a week. Yay, I may yet get my swimming pool back before winter. Maybe.

Lennie! Let me show you my panther.

Leonard is done! I think. Anyway, unless something falls off, I'm done with him.

Floral needlework in progress

The kits mention using the finished needlework as a purse, pillow or picture. I don't think I'd want to expose it to so much wear as a purse or pillow would get, but I'd like it to be more useful than something to hang on the wall, so I'm intending to make them into large potpourri-filled sachets to hang in clothes closet, or lie in with linens. The design area is 8 1/2 inches square.

Young mockingbird

They left the nest a few days ago, but this one came into my yard and perched on a quite small fig tree and let me get quite close before it flew off.
