Chaos Sunday but still an update

As the title says, it has been chaotic around here today.   I started the morning off with a couple of tea and my red sampler and a tv program.  A little me time before the day started.  Except there came a point in the show where I closed my eyes while I was drinking and jerked and tea went on me and the sampler.  Now the mad dash to the kitchen.  I quickly scrubbed carefully at the tea spots.  I managed to clean up all but one little spot.  So it got a bit of a dab of dish soap - it was really tiny. That seemed to help.  Then I found are area where the red border ran (that's silk, not the cotton of the interior areas).  So I got a q-tip and a drop of bleach and carefully applied/touched (barely).  It came out and did not get on the border itself.  The sampler spent the rest of the day, on a clean white cloth, drying out.  I spent most of the day hauling stuff up from the basement (along with oldest daughter & SIL).  We are having a Goodwill truck coming to our house this coming week for a pick-up.

NOw on the good stuff - the photos of the week.

Starting with the Stacked Turkey.

He is done !!!

He still needs to be finished but that comes much later.

The stitching is complete and he is my

first finish of the year (2020) !

The Americans Sampler

Abigail got shoes this week and the house went higher

even got most of a couple windows.

Nathan Hale is next to Abigail and 

he got part of his "box" stitched.

St. Sylvestre

My prayer piece.

This is the upper left quadrant

(at least what I have stitched so far)

It got quite a bit of attention this week.

These photos were taken before the tea disaster.

As you can see, it didn't very far this week.

I hope to change that this week.

and that's the update for the week.
