~ Monday Morning Musings ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

hoping you all enjoyed a peaceful & joyful Mother's Day!

I know I did…

I worked in the yard most of the day cutting back bittersweet vines and nandina bushes.

I mowed the lawn {again} and even pulled a few weeds!

while I was working outside, 

Peter was working in his woodshop making more of our 

Cutter Boards {for the Bliss Cutter} 

to ship out tomorrow to their new homes.

aren't they beautiful?

 After my yard work was finished,

I came in to the farmhouse to relax a bit with my needlework ~

I'm finishing a punch needle design that I began while at the PSS Retreat in Atlanta in April

{some of you that visited our booth my remember me drawing this up for demonstration purposes}

the name of this design is "Ralph" and is a patriotic dog!

Using those delicious Valdani threads again 

help to make the design look instantly old from the get-go!

I'm excited about how I'll be finishing this one too, 

and can't wait to show you what's coming next ;)

We have a very busy week ahead of us,

 family will be coming in from CT to accompany us to Hannah's graduation ceremony!

She is graduating from VCU with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work ~ 

… such a smart, caring & compassionate young woman she is.

Hoping you all enjoy a beautiful beginning to a wonderful week!
