time, if not my needle, is flying
As much as I love the 3-day weekends we’ve recently had, they do wreck havoc with my sense of time. I’m working on two projects, but I recently realized that I have three more - with deadlines - too rapidly approaching. Yikes! I’m only worried about the 4th of July exhange; my patterns are either too big or too primitive. Sigh.
Here’s where I ran out of burnt umber NPI on Thine Forever. Till the new skein arrives, I’ll fill in leaves and flowers. Definitely not a hardship. This one really is a joy to stitch.
And here’s where I am with Fair Kind True by Midsummer Night Designs. Please overlook the horrible photo - it’s nighttime and the colors in this are actually really gorgeous, but my camera can’t make sense of them in artificial lighting.
I did some housework this morning - don’t faint! - and re-arranged several of my smalls that cannot be hung for display. Now if I can just keep Rowen from rearranging them for me….
Now it’s time to wake my stitching buddy for his final feeding of the day, and then we’ll stumble off to bed.
Wishing you a wonderful day!




You’re making great progress on both WIPs Barbara!

“Fair, Kind, True” has wonderful colors, even if the photo is at night. I love designs that use one color of varigated for the entire design. I’ve been doing quite a few of those lately, but mine are more a slaughter of Quaker patterns into very oddly modern looking pieces.
Arden looks quite content. Maybe he will subconsciously develope a love of stitching.

What a darlin’ stitching buddy! I want to kiss those pudgy cheeks-can you do it please?

Sorry you ran out of thread, but your piece is looking awesome-they both are!
Martha Stewart just had on Dr./Prof Walter Lewin, originally from the Netherlands (Sean looked it up as we were wondering about his accent). He teaches at MIT and his teaching videos are really popular on the web.

I have stitched some stitches yesterday, but I think I didn’t stitch before that for at least 4 days! Only fellow stitchers understand what that means…
Isn’t Arden just adorable?? I sometimes wishes my youngest was that cute. But most of the times I’m very okay with him being 8.

Your WIP’s look great. Love the pic of your son

Wow, your stitchings are so beautiful! I just love them! The little phrase about your love is just so sweet - as is your littlest darling in deep and untroubled slumber! He is DARLING!
