Sometimes even I am astounded at my ability to do something stupid. You're think, after all these years, I wouldn't be surprised at myself. Anyhoo....a couple of progress pictures on the house...
I know, from this, that you can't probably see what I've done. It wasn't until I started adding the embroidery details that I realized. Perhaps this will show what I did?...
No? You mean you can't see it? Well, I guess that means that maybe my 'fix' worked. (if you can't figure it out, count how many grey 'blobs' there are under the verandah roof in the first picture....and then how many there are in the second picture. I thought (ahem) that artistic license meant that I could simply add a window where there isn't one. Worse....I added that window in the corner of the wall where anyone with half a brain would know that a window wouldn't fit. Sigh. Ah well, hopefully I've camouflaged it and no one will notice.
There now, never let it be said that I'm afraid to show you everything, warts and all!!
Today I don't have a quote per se, but thought I'd share this little 'funny' instead...(author unknown)....
Very pretty, I wouldn't have noticed the mistake, very well camouflaged now as well.
ReplyDeleteI had to burst out laughing at the facebook quote, it's great!
Have a nice weekend.
A Senior's Version of Facebook is so funny!!
ReplyDeleteI shared that with my husband, he's going to pass that one on.
Your piece is looking good.
The windows under the porch would look nice if their tops all slanted down slightly to the right as the porch
over hang is starting to do.
but put a wisteria vine in there and it'll be fine.
Hi Maryanne your house is looking awesome and great fix my friend you can't tell,welll done xx
ReplyDeleteLooks great I couldn’t figure out what you were referring to till you told. Checked out that Russian stumpwork embroidery site recognized the white one as a design from a Jane Nicklace book.
ReplyDeleteI could not see the error until you pointed it out. But this piece is coming along so wonderfully!! Some great links today too. I fell in love with the shawl until I saw "knitted". I really wish I had perfected my knitting when I was younger. I just LOVED the FB story. I will NEVER understand the need to tell everyone in the world cryptic bits of what people are feeling at the moment they post. I am there for the stitching and have deleting ALL family. Tell me to my face or forget it!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend. 60s and some sun here until Tuesday.

It's trickier when you are working on a specific building, isn't it? Instead of one where you can "improve" at will. I'm finding something similar when I draw or paint from a photograph.
ReplyDeleteI think your creation is coming along beautifully, anyway!

Your house is looking great, Mary Anne! You’ve dealt with the “window” really cleverly.
ReplyDeleteLaughed so much at the Facebook for seniors!
