It has been some time since I've bought embroidery floss retail. Usually, they come from thrift stores. But I don't have any variegated colors of floss. I want yellow as the primary color. So, I'm about ready to start another Wizard of Oz scene. A quilt block. Will be taking part in wordless wednesday.
It was a busy day. We had a round-table discussion of earth-based topics—nothing hard-core. I guess one could say we talked about this and that related to earth-based faith.
I went to the senior center since they were having ham and bean soup. They also serve a mix of broccoli and cauliflower as vegetables, cornbread muffins, and apple crisps. I cleaned the main bathroom sink.
Over at Wiki Art, in the search bar, I put in the word "Zapped," and the 8th artwork was one of DIEGO RIVERA. I've seen quite a few things about his wife, Frida Kahlo. His grandson has made a film, A PORTRAIT OF DIEGO: THE REVOLUTIONARY GAZE. I haven't yet found this film.
Here are some more of his WORKS

I didn't think of looking in a thrift store for embroidery floss. I have a crochet pattern for a tiny dragon, and embroidery floss is recommended. I haven't attempted it in a couple years. Maybe...
ReplyDeleteI know far more about Frida Kahlo than I do about Diego Rivera, even though Rivera's work was more famous and he was the wealthier spouse.
DeleteThat’s a very pretty yellow. I’d love to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteMy late wife was the embroidery queen. Counted cross stitch. Politeness deemands never to look at teh back of counted cross stitch but hers was so good, you could do that. I have names for colours such as calf diarrhea yellow, goose poop green etc. Hard to find those on labels, though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any embroidery floss for a very long time. I don't think my hands can do such delicate work anymore.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a pretty good lunch at the senior center. And I didn't know Diego Rivera's grandson made a film about him. I'd like to see that also. Have a nice Thursday Dora.
ReplyDelete..I'd go for the apple crisp!
ReplyDeleteInteresting art
ReplyDeleteI like both Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo works.
ReplyDeleteI embroidered a lot when I was younger. Life got busy. Now my hands are arthritic and painful so I couldn't start up again if I wanted to.
ReplyDeleteThe senior center serves great meals.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marie, your Senior Center sure does a good job with the meal selections.
ReplyDeleteI got hungry reading about the meal at the center. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. ♥
That meal really does sound delicious. Now I'm hungry. The one meal I had at our local senior center, a fish selection on Friday, was not worth a repeat. I hope you are feeling better (commenting on this and your Thursday post at the same time.) Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThank you dear for this interesting post. Aloha
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading I started laughing. In all of my years crafting and doing cross stitch, I don't know that I have EVER used a variegated colored thread. It almost makes me want to go out and buy some!
ReplyDeleteThe reverse searing technique is such a game changer for steaks! Pairing it with the shrimp and hollandaise sauce elevates it to another level. Amazing recipe!

The tip about immediately wrapping the steak in foil after it reaches temperature is super helpful. Keeps it juicy and perfect every time!
