Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

I would have had this whole corner section finished if I hadn't had to spend Sunday morning picking it all out. I was off by 1 stitch so the top pointy thing didn't match up. Nothing humbles me more than stitching. 

Exhibit B: After suffering through all that green fill I had a devil of a time getting the stems on those flowers in it right. They are top stitched and my first try disappeared into the background. My second try looked awful. My stitches were too short and choppy. The third time is not the charm but for now, it'll do. 

And....we had a good old time down at the beach with a couple of hundred other folks watching the eclipse. The line for glasses was long so I was glad I had bought my own. The Mister did manage to get a pair for a souvenir once the line died down.

It was a big crowd. The entire half mile boardwalk was pretty much packed. 

We watched from the pier. All the benches were taken but that was fine with me. Pup and I were nice and cozy in our little nook.

Everyone was complaining about the change in temperature. Everyone who had been out sunning themselves on the beach were now wrapped up and on their feet. 

We lucked out with the clouds. There were few to interfere with our view up until the peak. Then the clouds started rolling in but we saw what we came for. No complaints.

We love to see the patterns it makes in the shadows so at peak we walked around until we found some foliage. See the little crescents?

How about now? How cool is that? This may be the last really good one for us. The 2025 and 2026 partials look pretty meh. The 2079 one looks promising but I'd be 125. Not likely.
