Back to the Beginning

I picked this up today and was going to start the red on the doghouse when I realized that the aqua should have all been done in Lucky....so this morning was spent frogging the Aqua thread around the doghouse. Now I'm back to where it was on Feb. 2nd

Happy Haul day on Friday...

My fabric order from Stitchery Xpress (ordered May 20th) arrived.

This is Fabric Flair Meadow View (for the Baseball subway art chart by Cross Stitch Wonders)

I was putting away an older pattern (Cape Elizabeth Light by Seguin Designs) that we picked up on our honeymoon in Maine more than 22 years ago. I stitched it for a co-worker friend of DH's long ago. I checked online for the designer.. and found several  more lovely charts.. and kits... and a sale so I ordered some at the beginning of this week - and they arrived in the same week!

Whitehead Island Light chart

Puffin chart

The Cottage Quilts chart

The Lobster Boat kit

The Lobster Shack kit

Funny thing is that these both arrived a day early and the one I've been waiting for that was due to arrive on Friday is late and somewhere between the West coast and the East coast.

Saturday was another happy haul day!

Last month I signed up for the thread and fabric of the month from Colour and Cotton.

My May FOTM arrived.

The color is Swiss Coffee 13"x17" size of the 40ct Linen  & 28ct Lugana.

Other:
Peek a boo Pouches for May were received.

No June birthdays.. so the next ones I show will be July.

Monday evening I brought Mom & Dad some groceries... went to leave their house and my 2008 Jeep wouldn't start... Local mechanic towed  it the next am. Seems there is a problem with the wiring in the steering wheel so it looks like I will have to start looking for a replacement.

I forget to get photos of the flowering almond bush this year - but it was lovely...

Lily of the Valley

Wisteria

What's left of the azaleas..as you can see the deer had a nice snack this past winter

This one is almost fully opened

As you can see..only a few blossoms have fully opened

This is a smaller one that we only planted a few years ago by one of the burning bushes

Until next time,

Have a wonderful day!
