Kindred Spirits

I finished Kindred Spirits by The Primitive Needle last night. I love love love this design ... although the border got really boring, but was perfect to stitch during all the sports we watched last weekend. I hope to get this framed before Halloween.

Sharon had a much better picture on her blog of the Halloween ornament she made for me ... I just love the green fabric!

Well dinner's almost done and there's great TV starting tonight, so off I go ... only big decision is what to stitch tonight ... maybe I'll work on Lizzie Kate's Christmas double flipit that came out a year or so ago ... I started it a couple of weeks ago, but didn't get very far. Of course I could work on Peppermint Twist or Earth Laughs or a Christmas ornament or a Halloween design or ... gotta love decisions! lol

Hope you all have a great week! And thanks for the lovely comments :)

I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for new tv ...

May I introduce to you .. Bella

I've been calling this coffee angel Bella after my favoriate Starbucks coffee, Bella Vista. This is my progress as of Wednesday night .. I'm really enjoying this design .. I wonder if it's because the fabric still smells strongly of coffee??!! lol

The two wips I have been working on a lot lately are mostly letters, which get a bit boring, so I thought I'd pull out another wip to work on for awhile .. lol .. more letters! but another design that I just love!

Last week our chocolate lab Chip cut one of his back paws pretty bad .. a few hours at the all night vet hospital, a few stitches and a drain and we got to bring him home. He's really doing ok, but you wouldn't know if from this picture .. he looks kinda pathetic doesn't he! The head cone is because he won't stop chewing off his bandage ... in fact today, with the head cone on, he still managed to do a good amount of chewing before my DH noticed. Gotta love dogs!

Have you see this new design from Homespun Elegance? Way too cute!

Thank you all for your lovely comments about our 34th wedding anniversary.

It's almost Friday! woo hoo! This weekend is busy with a bbq at my Dad's for 3 birthdays, 2 anniversarys and Father's Day .. then it's brunch with my father-in-law on Sunday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for coffee ...

Woo Hoo It's Friday!!!

and a whole lot cooler here in Washington. We had record breaking temperatures this week .. hit 99 in my town yesterday! We hardly every have high 90 weather here, especially in June, which is typically a very wet month. Finally cooling off today and through the weekend to a nice pleasant 75ish .. now hopefully my house will start to cool down .. we don't have central air :(

I don't have any stitching pictures to share, but I have been stitching. Have the Christmas ornaments I was behind with all stitched and ready to finish this weekend. Last night while watching the new season of Burn Notice and Royal Pains I started Coffin Buzz, a freebie by Plum Street Samplers. I'm stitching it on come coffee dyed (by me *smile*) evenweave with Belle Soie's Cinnamon Stick .. I'll post a picture over the weekend.

Have you seen this new design by The Primitive Needle called Sampler Sisters of the Thread? OMGosh I love it! Wouldn't it be a fun RR .. I could see stitching the top portion and then sending it off stitching friends to stitch the little motifs and the bottom and maybe switch up the "This work is mine" to say "This work is ours" and then everyone could sign it .. could be lots of fun!
