Busy June, Camp, Blogging Perk, Stitching Update

June has finally arrived, and it is almost summer.  Here is a view of Autumn Lake.  I am blessed to have a camp site at this lake.  Many wonderful days with friends and family.  I tend not to stitch here, unless I am alone.  I do cut way back on my stitching during the summer months.  But I think that is true of many of us.  





I read blogs to relieve Stress.  It's a fact.  Blog reading to me is like traveling to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.  If you ever watched Mr. Rogers on TV than you may be able to understand my comparison.  Social Media, Flosstube -these are great medias to share our craft, but they are not my first choice.  Jo from Serendipitous stitching  has selected my blog as The Blog of the Week  If you have a moment, hop over to read all about me and other amazing bloggers.


Update on Music among the trees, Garden Stitching, Samplers Not Forgotten.  Would love to finish this soon.  The day has started out with the Sun Shining. Getting ready to go to the CNY Fiber Festival   Maybe I will Learn how to spin a little. Or maybe just buy some wonderful yarn.

It's June


This is a picture of my March Primitive Hare Retreat of the fully finished pieces.  I have finished all the stitching.  I have all the materials and great instructions on how to finish both these pieces, the wonderful little bag and the doll.  My goal is to have these both finished before October 2017.  The little pumpkin was Stars.  It was fun, but it took me quite a bit longer to stitch than if they were simple crosses.  


This is my progress on Music Among the Trees.,  I forgot the V in the 2nd alphabet.  Have to restitch the w and the x.  Not a major restitch project, but I am still annoyed with myself.  I believe this project will work great for the theme-tas-stitch sal, with a Garden theme - I have lots of trees in my garden.  The very light letters, you can see them in real life but this is a varigated thread and I think I should have stitched them all with the darkest color - to late now, will not be redoing that one.



Here is my amazing ORANGE hardanger project.  Current with the HAL.
One of these things is not like the others!
And guess what.  I am not doing this over again.
I am definitely enjoying this little project and am learning a lot about me and my stitching.  I have perfected the process of ripping out and starting over - and I am very sure I will be doing this again and it will not be orange,



As you can see, I am doing the tree for 12 days.  This will not be as bad as I imagined, Isn't that always the truth.

 Where am I today, what am I stitching on, has my stitching changed since I was last here (for two seconds) in 2020   Well of course that is...
