Misfits, stitching and spuds

 Yesterday's Misfits box was small but good. I didn't order potatoes, because I was expecting a local supply.

I ordered the Imperfect Foods multigrain bread to check it out. Turns out it was classed as imperfect because it was a little bit lopsided! Otherwise fine, as you see, breakfast toast

Beats me why the normal shape of baked goods won't be acceptable to stores, but oh well.

Speaking of breakfast, I usually have half a pita with greens and fruit, often spinach and blueberries. Here's a variation I liked, dried cranberries with a leaf of  romaine that fitted into the bread, very pleasing.

About the potato supply, Gary hauled this over last night, for me to harvest. 

I'll do this in a while and show you tomorrow. Likewise weaving which I haven't got to yet.

But stitching is moving along, just a pleasure to work small on individual sections. Here's where we are to date, planned and designed, ready to stitch

and completed, waiting to be eventually placed

and here's the next one, still in the thinking stage

I like this color combo quite a bit. 

There's a lot of Albers style color thinking here, colors changing dramatically when they're next to different others. 

If you don't know this blog but love embroidery, especially whitework, take a look. She doesn't post often but it's so worth waiting for. Fils et Aiguilles,  meaning threads and needles, that order works in French better than needles and threads,  written in French with onboard English translation

I think this designer whose directions she was following Hiroko Takeuchi, is the artist who designed that calendar I showed you each month last year.  

Happy day, everyone, Gary fixed the doorbell, turned out to be a simple fix, not buying a new one, after looking at wireless, easily installed ones. Hoping  your problems and doorbells have easy solutions.
