The above photo is of my husband and his flag in the Veterans Memorial Park here in Annandale, MN.
Each year I buy one for him, he was in the Navy during Vietnam conflict, one for my Uncle he was a Marine in Korea and one for the unknown soldier.

This is Simply Santa 2022 Cinnamon Stick from Home Spun Elegance, I did him on a 32 count unknown fabric, most of my fabrics are rescued from stash unloads at retreats, they very rarely have the fabric information, just the count or not.
This is the back of the Santa, I bought many wood ornaments from Dollar General after Christmas 10 cents a piece.
I stitched these way back when and finally finished them, they are from the Cricket Collection Woolen Mittens Two, unknown fabric was used, stitched on 36 count.
This is a mixed media from By The Bay, Donna Bayliss did hers as a small quilt hanging, Donna has a few others I may do for my pillow bowl
I stitched this on 32 count unknown fabric, Liz Mathews has changed her designing a bit, I still like her earlier design, I did spray the fabric with an antique spray only because I felt the fabric was a bit yellow for my liking, I hope to have it framed soon

Hello my dear friends, thank-you for your kind words on my last post, I have not emailed thank-yous it has been very busy here with gardening (flowers) and canning and freezing, along with sewing and needlework.
We are changing the siding from venal siding to cedar, it smells so good on the front porch, cedar has such an amazing odor, we are only doing the front porch this year, Mike has to rest a bit every hour before continuing with the finishing. Just a start, will stain all of the siding and flooring and steps when it is a bit cooler.
I have done a bit of stitching, I finished stitching Blue Ribbon Designs complimentary patterns, I hope to stitch them all, there are other designs she has done
Just a little stitching but not enough to show
A few people have inquired about the weight I had made, I use this for holding down the stitching frame on the edge of the table, that way I can have one hand under the frame for pulling and the other hand on top for stabbing the fabric, it works so well for me, I have lost a few pound and have a difficult time at the table with a frame stand
I also had inquiring's about what Kimohumo is, it is a form of braiding, with a weight and a round foam rubber plate, there are slots which the threads are in and on of the slots is left empty so you can braid the cording, for a bracelet or necklace, the weight is for pulling down the braid as you braid along.
Greetings my dear friends, August was a very busy month, lots of VA appointments for Mike reevaluation of benefits, we are still in the dark as to weather he will have a reduction or addition of funds.
The first week I went to the Guild Retreat had a ball the first day, I took two class’s, one a Kumohimo class and a felting class finished both which I will share in my next post.
I was so lucky to have found a bag a big bag of Gentle Arts threads, now I do not usually buy specialty threads unless I have too now I have almost all the colors. I asked if anyone was interested in the bag no one in the reallocation room was I was the lucky girl. So sorry babout the Sid way photos they would not turn.
Greetings My Dear Followers: Thank-you for your comments on my last blog post a few days ago,
I hope you were all able to get thank-you from me, if not I will check back to make sure.
I did do a lot of stitching sewing and mending when I was not able to post on Blogger, so I am doing a little at a time to keep from having such a long post.
This design was sent to me from Marilyn in Wisconsin (no Blog) she is so kind to send this to me as a kit, I am a nut for needle rolls, this is one I had not seen before, Thank-you Marilyn
This is a Shepherds Bush Folk Heart from 1999
stitched on 28 count Lavander Mist Cashel Linen two strands DMC over two threads,
For some reason the kit photo will not upload so sorry
I am so happy to be able to do a post after all the problems I have been having with Google, hopefully that is in the past
Below is a design I stitched a couple months ago, I took it to Michaels to have framed, I really like the way it turned out, it is a design from A New Creation a site on Etsy, I have bought another design from this designer, I plan on starting the stitching in October
First of all thank-you to my faithful followers for staying the course with me in my absence, we have had a spendy month of July, first the computer started acting like an arse, then both our cell phones decided to make us angry, Mikes battery was about to blow up, my phone stopped some features like browsing the net, at AT&T the young man helping us took the battery out of Mikes phone and ran it outdoors saying it was ready to burst that is why Mikes phone died.
I tried posting on my IPAD but the photos kept coming up wonky, so I gave that up, then we had to get a new tower for the PC, well Best Buy was not a good experience, they talked us into a package of protection and also saying that it would get our stuff transferred over faster and instead of waiting a couple of days it was almost two weeks without a PC, now I am not an angry person ever but this really got to me, now as to the photo of the cat eating Mickey, well I had to put a photo on my blog so the woman could understand what I was talking about when I could not load photos, she asked what Best Buy could do for us, I told her that there were several issues with the PC, so that is the dilemma we had for over a two week period.
I am leaving for a stitch retreat in a few hours, I will be posting about that trip[ on Monday.
Thank-you all for hanging in there with me, I love all your comments and really appreciate them.
