2014 - Staying Connected, Week Thirty-seven

So very sad... Between quilt guild meeting on Thursday, Family Day at the University on Saturday, Girls Night Out on Tuesday, and the presence of a pair of HVAC installers in the house Monday and Tuesday to install a new furnace, air conditioner and associated accessories, the stitching week was shortened by three whole days! 


This wasn't helped by what I can only best describe as an anemic stitching mojo aggravated by feeling so very tired at having to be up early for three of those events (HVAC installation and Family Day). All I worked on this week was my Bead Journal Project atc ornament, which hasn't gotten very far, as you can see.



What is more, this snowy owl ornie changed direction from an autumnal theme to a college alumni theme on Saturday. Luckily, what had already been stitched fit right in but a color scheme theme did have to be implemented with the addition of orange to the brown and white (school colors!), and the autumn mix of #11 seed beads and selected autumn leaves will not be used as planned. However, Owl sure looks like he is going to be wearing a 1920's-style tennis sweater, doesn't he?

Expecting house guests (seven of them) from Saudi Arabia sometime this week (still don't know their arrival date for certain) and they could be here as long as a week. Busy today cleaning guest rooms, making sure sheets are clean and towels are available in quantity,  and rearranging sleeping spaces (we can handle 4 easily --- seven will be a challenge). International Hermit and Stitch Weekend will probably suffer as a result.
