It's time to share what I've been up to this week.
I had planned to get a few more starts... and more stitching on my projects...but I had a wrist injury while out with Macey...nothing broken...just very bruised...so I've had to limit my activities - sorry if my photos are a bit blurry - hopefully next time it will be better.
I have my patterns with fabric ready to go...but have to gather threads and hoop/q-snaps and they are stored in a separate area.

Stash:
Last month I stumbled across Colour & Cotton website. I joined the thread club - (5 neutrals) and I joined the fabric club. Well my floss (April) arrived on Saturday! Such lovely colors. I'm looking forward to my next shipment.
Still waiting on some other April orders. And a few ETSY order from this week.
Happy to see our feathered friend returned on May 14th. He was a little late... but I'm sure the snow and colder weather kept him South. This was the latest I recall seeing them.
It was raining when I took this... It looks like he wanted the shower.
Until next time,
Have a wonderful day!
Lisa M.
