I Have Been A Little Busy Stitching

 Hello to all my faithful followers, thank-you from my heart for your kind comments on my last post

It has been very busy here in our little part of the world. Gardening has taken up a lot of my time, which I love

I have stitched a bit and hope to do more in the coming weeks

I am reading lots and lots, I just read two great books by Victor SE Moubarak, he is an amazing writer, writes books that can be read in a day or two. Man and God makes you think really think about your relationship with God, amazing book, the other book is an ongoing series about Father Ignatius, a Priest that seems to be in the thick of things some good and some bad, they are very enjoyable books to read, I bought mine on Amazon. This is Mr. Moubarak's blogspot is https://timeforreflections.blogspot.com blogspot: Daily almost daily he posts some very interesting and thoughtful posts, please give him a visit

So I have finished the barrel from the class I took with Teresa Kogut in Blue Earth Minnesot, Welcome Stitchery put on the class, it was a blast.

I was able to construct it last Saturday, I love the fabric which is 40 count, I found it easy to use a magnifier to stitch it

This 1776 design is from Marly over at https://samplers-and-santas.blogspot.com, Marly has a few free designs for use, she did hers into a pillow which is lovely, please visit her site.

I decided to make this one a drum a tall skinny drum, I like the Scarlett House designs, I am not great at making drums just yet but each one is getting better

I also finished a very lovely bag that Toki sent me from Japan, I love this bag, it will hold some of my favorite stitching tools

This was so muc fun to stitch, I love all the different stitches used, thank-you from my heart Toki

I am starting to stitch Jolly Buttons a Christmas design by, Running with Needles and Scissors, I am having problems uploading the photo will have to post again after I figure out why I cannot upload the photo of the Jolly Buttons, by then I will have some stitching done on it. 

We had hail last week, not real big but bigger then the last hailstorm, I am sure we need a new roof, the insurence company will not like us, last year we had to have some siding replaced due to hail, they even raised our rates 1000.00 dollars a year

I hope you all are well and enjoying your stitching

Happy Spring Almost Summer

 Greetings my dear Friends: It has been very busy here, spring cleaning, gardening and many other things with graduations, anniversaries, summer parties and many hours spent reading and some stitching.

I am so happy to have the Teresa Kogut design barrel stitched, now I need to find the time to construct it, I really like the muted color threads, so soft looking, Teresa has an eye for color combinations.

This was from a class I took in Blue Earth Minn. in May with Welcome Stitchery, Teresa had a booth there also so you could buy some of her designs.

I am working on a sweet design that was gifted to me from Toki she is at https://watashigameganewokakerutoki.blogspot.com

This is a fun stitch

This is where I am today, almost finiashed

This was a gift from a sweet lady that works at Welcome Stitchery, her name is Kay, her two daughters were sitting at our table also, I forgot to post a photo in my last Blogpost of this beautiful bag

It has been raining here for a few days, the weather man says we will have rain for the next three + days, I do wish the sun would show it lovely face if for only a few hours, my plants are drowning just about.

I am not sure what my next project will be will post it when I decide

Have an amazing week

Catherine
