~ Friday Thoughts ~

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!
