The Installer has been FIRED!

Yep, you read it right.  I've had to fire the window installer.  

Will you look at this house?  

How in the world could a professional NOT put in a window?  

I am baffled by the incompetence of this supposed expert.  

What a nincompoop!

   The hired replacement will have to dismantle the house in sections and re-install the missing window.  What a waste of time and money!  As I'm sure you're aware, building materials are not inexpensive.  Talk about wasting valuable resources!  

Geesh.  

It is just so hard to get good help.  

The project inspectors (yep, that'd be YOU), are equally to blame for not notifying the project manager about this egregious error.  

Honestly, people.  What do I pay you for???

In other developments, I am working away on the monthly SAL, Joyful World, which is being gifted by Maja at Snowflower Diaries.  Find a link to the the SAL on her blog, here.  

I am working a bit ahead by trying to complete the borders prior to all the monthly designs being released.  
I'm trying to use my time wisely, while I have it!

You can find many versions of the SAL on the Facebook group called Stitch Along - Joyful World.  
It's not too late to join.  Here is my progress to date.  I have changed a few things, as you know I tend to do.

Aren't the four corners that meet pretty?  I love how lacy they look. 

January: I changed the white flowers to red winter berries because the white just wasn't showing up on my linen.  I also added a small berry stem to the bottom right.

February: I changed a lot.  I turned the ducks into Shepherd's Bush inspired sheep with a sweep of my magic wand needle and I changed the flower colors to red.

March: No major changes but I did add a few extra flower stems and leaves and changed the flower colors a bit, too.

I'd have kept on stitching but I ran out of thread.  That's what I get for using a partially used skein.  I had another skein of the same color but it was the same in name only.  Not even close.  I'll have to hit up the store in the next few days and get the borders DONE!

I'm looking forward to seeing what April brings. 

Finally, I got the WTN&T Mystery Sampler back from the framer.  The frame, although it looks blue, is actually black with a bit of red.

Have a great week.
Thanks for all your comments and notes of support and understanding regarding my family and in particular, my mom.  Every note, regardless of the length, is very much appreciated.  
Thank you for letting my know you stopped by.
I am blessed.

Be well.
Peace,
Terri
