Thanks so much for the kind words earlier this month. We are missing Samantha & Bucky - they were our very special rescues. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to stitch up a memorial piece for both of them.
I finished up the designs in the Handblessing pattern I mentioned last month. I'm waiting for an order of floss (for cording and tassels) so I can actually finish them. Here are:

Threads: DMC
Stitch Count: 29 x 31, 1 over 1

**I had already stitched up the inner border in whole cross stitch like the goldfinches last month. I left this one as is, but the next 2, I stitched with the half crosses.

Sorry for the poor photo- we had the blinds closed due to the heat. The fabric color is the same as above.
I was fortunate to receive a PIF from a lovely stitching friend.
Fabric: 30ct Natural
Threads: WDW (I had just enough red left to finish)
Stitch Count: 53 x 43, 2 over 2
Cross Stitch
I left off the sterling silver charm- probably will attach a button when I finish it.
New Stash...
I also have another beading project to share:
Miyuki delicas
White silimide
36 rows, 99 columns
even peyote
The yellow butterflies have been abundant this year.. here is one on our mock orange.
DH found out this week that he needs to have cataract surgery on both eyes. He is waiting until fall to schedule it.
It been hazy hot & humid the past few days (and for the next week or so). Today is our town's celebrations... town-wide garage sales, parade and fireworks at the beach. I'm staying put.. have some nice stitching picked out, the fans are running, and I'll be close if Mom & Dad need anything.
This was our sunset a few nights ago.. so lovely!
Until next time,
Lisa M.
