Rooted in Mississippi

I am still stitching, but I have not been posting a much lately.  The posts got a little redundant.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sunset tonight.  I am prepared for the fast, but not being able to drink water for twenty-five hours is much harder than not eating.  There are other restrictions, such as no lip balm and no bathing, but it is only one day…and an important one.  The older I get, the more difficult it becomes, but this is the one holiday I have always tried to observe.  Religion is complicated.

So, by now, you have probably surmised that I am stitching a lot lately.  For my holiday, I stitched all morning, then my husband took me to lunch at Aladdin Mediterranean Grill.  Next, I ran some errands with Trish,  before I got back to stitching.

As I looked down, I thought my little stitch companions by my side were so cute that I dug my cell phone out of my pocket to take a picture.  If I had gone for my real camera,I am sure they would have shifted or moved.  Please note that neither Rudy (left) nor Roscoe (right) has been spared the indignity of random thread snippets.

In other news, there are now two belly dance classes at La Salsa!  The Saturday class has moved to 5 PM and they added a Monday class at 7 PM.

I loved this color thread, but it was the most temperamental of the batch.  It left marks anywhere it went through the fabric.  Oh, well.  Again, I opted for the photo without flash, since the colors looked good. I am too lazy to retake the pictures with manual focus.

I picked a slightly out of focus photo, because I think it more accurately represents the colorway.  I am already three quarters of the way through yet another one.  Who would have imagined that I would do so much counted work?  Not me!
