SOMETHING STRANGE .....

Something strange in the sky today and from memories past I do believe it was the SUN!
After yesterday's horrible weather it was a welcoming sight and Buttons and I made the most of it ~ me with a cappuccino and Buttons stretched out soaking up the warmth ~ lovely!!!

Noah's Ark is making good progress and it's a really enjoyable stitch.  I actually started it a couple of weeks ago on blue evenweave as shown on the chart but found recently that I have been struggling seeing the fabric count.  DH sent me to the Opticians and the outcome was I was long-sighted in one eye and short in the other (only me!!!)
I now have a pair of glasses for close-up work and what a difference ~ I don't know how I was ever stitching in the right holes.  Anyway decided to carry on stitching on 14-count Rustico Aida which reminds me of a sandy beach and am happy with the outcome so far.
