Winner

Hi friends! We went to the apartment yesterday and cleaned and began painting. The walls were painted grey. Brian asked if we could paint them colors of our choice. Yep!😊 But boy, what a LOT of work. And we are going back at it today.😐

The winner of the "God's Art" chart is our friend Mary. I will have another giveaway soon. I found charts to give away when I had my HUGE clean out of my stash in preparation for the move.
I have read yet another book by my favorite cartoonist, Stephan Pastis. I am trying to read the books in order of publication. This one was published in 2004, and is titled, Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury. I had many laughs of course. This was a fun book.
The Fab Four of the funny pages come together again-this time in their first book treasury.

Rat, Pig, Zebra, and Goat, the central characters of Pearls Before Swine, are back in Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic, the first Pearls Before Swine treasury-supersized for your enjoyment.

But this is no ordinary cartoon treasury. Like the influential Beatles album that inspired the book's title, Sgt. Piggy is full of surprises. In addition to collecting all of the Pearls cartoons that appeared in BLTs Taste So Darn Good and This Little Piggy Stayed Home, cartoonist Stephan Pastis takes readers on a VIP backstage tour of one of the most successful comic strips in newspapers today.

In Sgt. Piggy, Pastis explains the genesis of Pearls (hint: it didn't begin at an artist's easel), why he was initially reluctant to show it to newspaper syndicates (and the surprising reason he changed his mind), the unexpected responses from readers to his work, and which Pearls strips worked and which ones didn't (and how he would have corrected the ones that didn't). The result is a rare and revealing glimpse into the world of Rat, Pig, Goat and Zebra.
I am stitching away on Moonlight Visitor whenever I get the chance. I will show you a picture next time my friends. Off to the apartment I go!

Have a super week! Thank you for stopping by.

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

    I feel your pain with the painting, but it will help make the apartment your own. Relax with your stitching/reading when possible.

    Vicki, Just saw in my email that I'm the Mary that won!! I'm thrilled as this chart is just perfect for me being such a nature lover.

    Hope the painting goes well, I hope the fumes don't bring on a migraine. Mary

    I love fresh paint...and I don't mind the painting part. It's all that other stuff. Moving furniture, taping, covering, LOL. And that is exactly why I only paint when ABSOLUTELY necessary. LOL

    Make sure you get enough rest...

    Hi Vicky, yes to clean an appartment is a lot of work. But i hope you have enough time to rest, and stitch a little bit.

    With us today is a holiday, so we can go a bit further with my things
    Have a good time, Martina

    Grey paint? Maybe some pink would cheer the place up!

    Or some silver? To match the anniversary!

    Well painting can be relaxing once you are finally to the point of painting. It’s the prep work that’s an workout. Best of luck!
    love Annette

    Congratulations to Mary.
    It's always a lot of work to prepare a new apartment before moving into it. Good luck with all the work you still have to do. But you still have time until the move.
