Summer Stitching and Early Work Mercantile...

I hope you are enjoying your summer....I know most of the US. is in blistering heat as for us in the pacific north west we are finally getting summer.....Yesterday we hit a whopping 75 degrees....I have been spending most of my time stitching while watching the grand-kids swim...With a sweat shirt on...If we have sun the kids want to swim, even is it is only 65 degrees....Oh, to be young....
I thought I would post the projects I finished for Early work Mercantile tonight...
First off is my own design...A fun sampler I stitched with cross stitches, darning stitches, a couching over dyed silk ribbon on natural linen...



Next is a pin-keep...Lately I can't seam to stitch enough of these...



OK.....I couldn't stand it any longer I had to stitch something Halloween.....My Pumpkin Head Girl is a design from Country Stitches, I just love her, she makes me laugh....She is stitched on natural linen with over dyed floss
I have my fingers cross that we get more warm weather....It feels like a little bit of heaven to be able to stitch outside while the grand-kids swim...
I hope it isn't to hot where you are....Thanks so much for stopping by and for the kind comments, they make my day...Take care, Nancy

Are You Getting Any Time to Stitch???

How much stitching time are you getting??? As for me not as much as I would like...When I thought that thing can't get any crazier, they did...But I have managed to steel a little stitch time, sitting in the shade while watching my grand-kids swim...All I can say about that is YAHOOOOOO....


Here are a couple of my finishes that I am listing on TDIPT tonight....I just wish I had time to do more stitching. Because if you are like me, if I get plenty of time to stitch my family thinks I'm a much nicer person...Probability because stitching makes me so dang happy...

I'm still working on my Birds of a Feather Sampler from With Thy Needle and Thread...Hopefully next time I will have a picture of some really good progress on that sampler to share...Keep your fingers crossed for me..



Well that is about all the fun facts I have for today...I am hoping that you have plenty of time to stitch and if not maybe you can sneak a few minutes here and there...
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments, they make my day...
Take care, Nancy
