Happy Friday
~ Friends & Folk ~
we have a cool dry respite today,
before the heatwave & humidity comes next week.
that means yard work this afternoon ~
which includes tending the gardens...
don't you love how alien the scarlet bee balm looks?
always happy,
you know these are my favorites:
little flutterby
on a pincushion flower ~
more happiness!
our humble patio
where we enjoy eating, chatting
and of course it's my fav stitching spot
in the Summer months ~
progress is being made on the un-named sampler...
I really am trying to make it look very old, yet whimsical ~
but I ran out of room for the last letter in this word
so I did what our stitching-sisters of the past did:
I raised it up a bit higher and stitched it over one.
{this is still 2 strands on 32ct linen}
there. all better now.
and I love it ~
I have an idea in mind for the finish ~
but not entirely sure if I will use it
... or do something a bit different
I seem to always be changing my mind as I stitch.
Hannah will be visiting us this evening,
coming home for a bit to celebrate Father's Day with us ~
always a happy time when our one and only comes home!
