Hello everyone!
Wow! It's been some time since I've posted. There have been a number of times I wanted to but then I got distracted by this and that. We are in a heat wave right now, although I know there are hotter places than here, it's hard for us not used to it to handle. Poor little Titus has been lying around in our heat apartment trying to keep cool. I've put ice packs around him so at least some sort of cool air evaporates for him. I've also been trying to get in shape with eating better and exercising, yet I feel like a slug in the heat!! I know a number of people go to the gym, where it's nice and cool, but I just can't really afford paying a monthly gym membership at the moment.
So to catch up. I've gone to a stagette on an island, a wedding, farmer's markets, short bike rides, visits with friends, Barnston island with my mom, uncle and hubby, and more doctor's appointments! Yay! Stitching has happened and I'm so glad I got two RAK's finished. I put crocheting down for the moment since the yarn is too hot to work with at the moment. How about a little picture walk for everyone?
Stitching
A little Primitve Hare freebie finish. Love bees and will be finishing it as a prim pillow.
Eyelet progress on the BBD's Her Sampler SAL. Hoping to forge ahead on finishing the eyelet bands tonight.
Sarah Chapple grass complete!! It took an age to do. Grass stitching is great for watching shows though.
Some JCS 1707 progress. The vines got tricky and my eyes get tired from counting. I think the chart's symbols are a wee bit too small for me.
Stash buying from over a month ago. Forgot to post a photo of some Goode Huswife charts I found at an online store. Also I had to get a few of Nina's threads to try out.
Granny Stripe progress...three rows before the heat came.
One more thing related to stitching. The other day I received a most wonderful RAK in the mail from Mii!! She knew I was having a rough time last month and the sweetheart that she is, mailed me the most beautifully stitched pinkeep and little treats for me. I was very surprised and it made my month!! Her attention to detail is amazing. I love the saying "Good things come to those who stitch" and I sure think it does. She also included some pretty threads, polka dot fabric and yummy chocolate bars! Thank you Mii!! Many hugs to you!!
Enjoy the rest of my photos of some of my adventures these past few weeks.
My darling hubby bought me this gorgeous blue diamond, white gold necklace and a knife! Brawn and beauty as he says!!
No post is complete without a photo of Titus.
Hoping to come by and visit people soon. I thank you all for staying with me and giving me support during a hard time. Bloggy/stitchy friends are the best and I feel like a bad one not coming by...so I mean to make an effort this week!
Hugs to you all and keep cool!!
