~ Sunday Stitches ~

Hello Friends & Folk ~

are you sweltering where you are?

another day in the 90's here at the farm...

keeping cool indoors

working on a few more embroideries

blasting the AC

my stitching chair near the south facing window is my favorite spot to be

except in the summer, when the best lighting comes through the window.

It's a love/hate kinda thing right now with the sun beaming so hot,

so I keep my little green shutters drawn a bit to filter it out.

it may be July

but my mind is always in October.

the colors

scents

flavors

and temperatures are what keep me going all year I think!

I'm working in thread colors of mustard & ochre.

the color of the sun, fall leaves and corn...

pumpkins, squash and bittersweet.

using my little Stitcher's Tray© and Sit & Stitch© Embroidery Hoop Stand

makes my needlework a little easier....

 

Peter designed them so they fit together,

~ the stand sets perfectly on the tray, and he made them to match, 

... with a beautiful stained & sealed finish.

I use my stand on my lap or on a table too,

and it's especially handy to hold my hoop 

when I need to use both hands when I embroider ~

 

 

even tho it is hot out,

I have to have my candles burning next to me wherever I work.

 

~ this small table near my stitching chair is just the right size for me and my needlework!

where is your favorite spot to stitch?

 

I had to move my needlework just a bit in my hoop, 

so here you can see our Sit & Stitch Hoop Stand© without the hoop on it:

~ this stand adjusts for my different size hoops... from 5" hoops to 8" hoops. 

These are a great thing to have if you, like me, do many different forms of needlework.

You can always find them in our Etsy shop HERE

and our Stitcher's Tray HERE

if you'd like to get them for your stitching chair too ;)

 

 and ~

 I also will be finishing this sweet pillow that I began a few months ago ~

the little lady is all-alone and needs some flora & fauna and perhaps a few friends with her...

{besides her bird-friends}

... right now she is helping me with my pins

;)

 

 Have a beautiful Sunday and stay cool ~

  & PLEASE 

remember to provide fresh, cool & clean drinking water

 to our outdoor fur & feathered friends......

Blessings from the Farm
