Three Projects to talk about

Max In The Adirondacks has returned to my attention. That is part of a radio in the picture. I find this stitching quite the challenge. I am also testing out some new laying tools while I work on this. It makes for some challenges.
Meanwhile the little Mouse is ready to hide in the owl. Just Nan's Minerva's Mouse. This was such a quick stitch.
Blackbird Designs - Breath of Spring. It isn't much of a start but it is a start. This was the kit of the month with Shakespeare's Peddler. Overdyed floss is used and this should be very cute.

Very Good Day

I have another finish!!! This is the little mouse for the Just Nan bird. It should work up quickly.
This is why I am late posting this evening. We went for a boat ride on Lake George. It was a great time with wonderful people. What a great way to end the day.
Meanwhile before the boat ride I did get the latest humbug stitched up.

Busy Holiday at my house - -

This is the start of Just Nan's little Mouse (I will have the official name in the future). It is a great start and almost half done.
Baby Trey was here for a visit. He is a very happy, calm, pleasant baby. We had fun. This is my great, great nephew. Trey is almost seven months old and came for a visit with his Grandma And Grandpa.
This is done. The Three Voilets are completed. I need to do the final finishing to make it a humbug. May be tomorrow.... I love the beads.

I tried so hard to finish but it is not going to happen

First let's check out the front garden. The colors are fantastic. The light pink is great and so is the deep purple/red. I love it all. The peonies are going to be huge. Next week perhaps?
We have violets. Now I am working on the upper border. The it is beads, backstitch and border. Another humbug is almost done.

Oh My - and now there are three

The flowers out front are wonderful. I am not sure that this photo captures the true colors but just believe me - - they are so very pretty. I took the photo last night before the big storm. I was afraid the rough weather would 'take them away'. They are still there this morning and I just love seeing them.
Now we have three bunnies and two chicks. They even have eyes now. There is greenery in the background and some other things that I am not sure what they are. LOL. We will find out together over the next few days.

I hope all my followers have a great holiday weekend. Please take a few moments to remember the reason for the holiday.

Bunny Bottoms

I have the bottoms of two more bunnies. I think the yellow is chicks. I really didn't get to stitch very much today. The windows are all washed. The pictures are all hung up. I can now take a moment and find the dining room and the spare room closet. This move is just about done. I am a happy camper with that news. We have tornado watches out for our area. It is terrible what has happened in the Midwest. I hope and pray that everyone remains safe.

Blooms, Surprises and Stitching

Hi All, It has been a thrilling day. I saw a deer today!!!! It was lunch time and we were in the kitchen. I looked out and a deer was moving just behind the trees at the fire pit. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!!! So many people have said to watch early morning and at dusk and here it was right in the middle of the day. I was thrilled.Meanwhile the flowers are in bloom out front. I have done nothing except take pictures so far. I love the pink and deep red I am seeing.
My knee has me sitting down for most of the day. My knee is so happy that I took a day off and my stitching shows that I have made some progress. It is all good.
The deer haven't found the hostas yet. We were warned that they usually eat the plants but perhaps we are out and about too much and they are staying away from the plants. We will see as the days go forward.
