I have been stitching on "He Went to Work Everyday...Then He Retired..."
The going is very s-l-o-w-l-y.
I'm just about ready to add the third shirt--just to make things more complicated on the technical level. Similar to climbing Mt. Everest.
<--We went to the Charles Nicole Hospital in Tunis and I found myself with enough time on my hands to work on a more complex drawing.
This old hospital, built by the French during the colonial period, is always interesting to sketch--fortunately, because we'll have more visits there.
He drives, I draw...his hand. Needed a change in subject from the beat-up junk heaps on the road. Mind you, I shouldn't be knocking anyone's car, we have a 10-yr.-old and a 20-yr.-old...

It's not so strange that "He went to work ..."takes so much time ...
I know how slow that kind of stitching goes ;-)
(hope for the best about the hospital visits ...)
Ha ! your selfie (drawfie) is fun !!!
Watching with you.
sending good wishes.
Hey!
I always love seeing what you're drawing and sewing. The shirts speak so eloquently. Believing with you for many more good years together for you and Mr. M.
I really like the theme of this piece - it's something we all go through eventually. Having your man spend so many years working and then suddenly have him home is definitely a culture shock. So sorry you're hospital visiting again...thoughts are with you.
Isn't it nearly time for the grandkids to visit? Sorry you are visiting hospital, but the sketches are quite lovely. The shirts are coming along quite nicely too.
