In yesterday's blog, I said that the white sheep was sewed, turned and ready for joints.
Well, that's what happens when you assume.....this is the picture of frustration
After the sheep reached the aforementioned state, we decided that the white face just wasn't enough contrast, and would have to be reworked. And we do mean reWORKed! Each piece had to be turned inside out again, then all picked apart.
We're now in the restitching stage, I finished redoing all of the legs last night, and today I hope to get the face and the ears done....[sigh}...for all the "rip it, rip it" sounds, you would have thought I was working on a frog!!
I'm annoyed with the city.
In the entire time since the first of the 3 storms, we have not yet seen a snow plow.
Consequently, the storm drain in the cul de sac just down from our house is totally blocked with ice, and nothing can go down it.
These are pictures of what the street and sidewalks in front of our house look like. We had cleared the sidewalk after every storm, but now we have all this ice on the sidewalk again because the mail truck and the trash trucks drive through the snow pack/ice flow in the street and push it back up on the sidewalk.
Meantime, the snow is melting and running toward the storm drain but it is just making a huge, (cul de sac size!) puddle, that turns into ice every night and will become unbelievably dangerous when the next storm comes on Thursday.
Two more arcs done last night!
We need to go to the DMV today and get the handicap tag for the car. We got the forms from the doctor's office in the midst of the 2nd storm, and just haven't made it to the office to turn them in and get the tag. That should be fun. In the same area is a bookstore, where I'm going to look for a tax prep book to help guide me through my least favorite time of the year.
Time to get moving.
