June 2020 weekly update week end June 14th

Hi everyone,

It's time to share what I've been up to this week.

We've had a few cooler days.. temps in the 30's at night and daily highs in the 50's° F.

No finishes this week..had a busy week -  errands and parents medicals.

Stitching:

A bit of progress on this one...

Happy Haul day on Monday...

When I saw this lovely needleminder, I placed an order with Embroidery.com

A few clearance kits (Shepherd's Bush:  Flag Box Kit, Summer is Waving kit )  jumped into my cart so the needleminder didn't travel alone.

Also a few DMC for my birthday club mailing, WDW Bee's Knees, a replacement Snag nab-it,

and the charm set for LK Let Freedom Ring

Another package arrived on Monday... This was a partial shipment of my April order from Beach Cottage Stitchers

Dinky Dyes Aussie Gold & Camo Green
