Confessional...

I feel like saying "forgive me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was a few weeks ago" but I'm Jewish so perhaps I shouldn't use that wording. No disrespect meant to anyone who is Catholic. And it just shows the influence of the movies and TV, if I know the wording.
Anyways, things have been real hectic at work and I've worked the last two weekends so I haven't gotten much stitching done. I finished, more or less, the threadpainting on the portrait but did the eyebrows in a way too dark grey. I am going to buy some lighter grey and try to tone them down. I think I have now done the portrait deal twice -- first and last time...
"On my street" turned out better than I thought. I am embroidering/beading on the snow-dyed strips and leaving the white empty, except for things which may fall down the grate -- a ring, a key, a leaf, any other suggestions?
It is now official that all of our kids and our grandchild will be home for Pesach (Passover). So we are now in spring cleaning, babyproofing mode. And it's all good!
