Stem Stitch and Outline Stitch Redux

Posted on23 June 20117 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

OK, I tore out everything I had done and started that green flower over completely. While I still have some issues with it, it is as good as it will get for now. I think it looks pretty good, but I wish I had been able to get the shading a little better, especially on Read More …

Stem Stitch and Outline Stitch are NOT the same Stitch!

Posted on15 June 20117 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

This is the first part of the Embroiderer’s Guild of America Group Correspondence Course, Shading Stitches by Judy Jeroy. The left side of the ‘flower’ is stitched in outline stitch, the right in stem stitch. The thread is DMC Medici, a lovely wool thread long since discontinued by DMC. I had never believed that stem Read More …

Our Equinox foal!

Posted on22 March 20087 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

Thursday Morning Ralph woke me by saying, “We’ve got extra legs!” In horse terms that means a foal has arrived and it looks like the mare has an extra set of legs since the new baby is sticking so close to her. I went out and here is what I saw: A few hour later, Read More …

The Great Thanksgiving Weekend Floor Flood

Posted on4 December 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

So the floors were finished and totally gorgeous, the trim work was going in and we were looking at being finished in another week or two. That was where we were the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Since we could not get away for Turkey Day, we spent the weekend puttering around the house, putting face plates Read More …

Kitchen is basically finished

Posted on4 December 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

Here’s my mostly IKEA kitchen: Lower open shelves are custom built from red oak. They match better than is shown in the pictures. They will stay open and have adjustable shelves in them. I particularly love the backsplash. Most of it is Georgia white marble salvaged from the old Florida Capitol Building when it was Read More …

Progress on the house is slow

Posted on4 December 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

OK, so I haven’t posted here in a long time. August and September, I was busy assembling IKEA cabinets for the kitchen and the bathrooms and other places. October I had jury duty which wore out my knees and I’ve simply been tired from the pain. But the house has been progressing – slowly. Trim Read More …

Waterlox finish for our floors

Posted on20 July 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

I’ve decided to do a Waterlox finish on our pine floors. Despite the name, Waterlox is NOT a waterbased finish. Instead, it is a modified tung oil finish that gives more of that old floor look. And to add to that old floor look, I wanted to stain the floors to deepen the color right Read More …

How about these arches?

Posted on2 July 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

A while back I talked Ralph out of the Craftsman style tapered columns on brick piers, but we both wanted something to make the front of the house look less boxy. The framers made some sample arches and we liked this shape best. Then I photoshopped it to repeat across the front of the house Read More …
