A new deck, some daisies and my new ride.

The materials for the new deck arrived yesterday.  I am very excited about this.  I hope to be stitching on that new porch and deck in the near future.  It doesn't look like much now but it should be wonderful.

I have been working on the daisies.  I seem to have my stitching mojo returning.  I want to stitch all day when I really do need to maintain a house, do paperwork, go places, etc.  LOL.

I never did post a photo of my new ride.  It is 2013 Toyota Highlander.  I love it.  It is just my size. 

Mail Art and Progress!!!

Leana sent me this beautiful mail art.  It has a wonderful card in it.  I think this is so beautiful because it is so simple. It arrived without any outside covers and it arrived in perfect shape.  It is so nice to get surprises in the mail.  Thank you so much Leana.

I FINISHED PART ONE!!!!  Yippee Skippy!  The part one charts have been out away and part two is in full force.  It feels good to have finished something, anything!! 

Tree with flowers is coming along nicely

I have been moving right along.  As many other stitchers already know, it is difficult when you have to stitch across the edge of one pattern, match it up with another pattern and try to continue on.  It is all but impossible when there are four pages all coming together.  I am finding it quite troublesome.  I will be glad to be totally on part two.  It should be happening soon. 

More Lady Bugs and a new bunny

I did make some progress today.  It was a quiet day on the hill.  Other than the power outage for over two hours.  We are experiencing heavy winds and something must have happened.  I was able to keep stitching.  The generator kicked in.  I am not sure why it still makes me very nervous to have the power out. 

Alphabet - Lady bugs - Flowers

I finished the bee hive and the bees.  Then I moved on to the next section. This is from Part two of the mystery sampler.  (Blue Ribbon Design's Mystery Sampler).  I feel like I am making some progress.

I have the window open by my stitching nest.  It feels so good to have a gentle breeze blowing in.  Spring is actually arriving in our area. 

A new Bee Hive and some stash

I worked on the bee hive today.  I did have some household tasks to complete so I didn't get as much time to stitch today.  I hope to get more done tomorrow.

The mail man did bring me some new goodies.  3 Lizzie Kate Limited Edition kits.  One by Cherished Stitches.  Charts from Sue Hillis and Rosewood Manor.  It is fun to think about stitching each and every one of these.

My thoughts and prayers are with those in Boston tonight. 

Sunday Stitching -

I stitched today.  There was a little bit of sunshine late today and I quick took a photo in the sunshine.  I am quite pleased with the progress I am making.  It feels good to be stitching again.  This project has some specialty stitches which I enjoy doing.  So far this is a fun stitch.  The Frog didn't visit as much today and that was a good thing.
