A finishing kind of day

My mom...here in our first selfie...helped me finish these two fun projects. Or lets just say SHE finished and I was a tiny bit of helper. One is the Shepherds Bush fold project...borrowed pattern with my over dyed threads and buttons. The other is the Needleworker cross stitch pattern attached to the liner of a longaberger Boardwalk  basket. Love them both and so excited that I finished the shaker box top in record time. Guess binge watching the first season of House of Cards does have its advantages.

Happy Memorial Day

Beautiful service this morning honoring all who have served this great country of ours. Especially  beautiful was the bald eagle....a great tribute.

Patriotic Present

Monica gave me this lovely Civil War Needlebook kit for my birthday and I stitched as fast as I could. Because the best part was it came with finishing. So when we visited in April she gave it to me finished. It is so nice and a great addition to my patriotic sewing things.

It's Bee season

The Easter was taken down but the shelf was pretty empty. So glad to get my bee stuff out. Many lovely handmade gifts that remind me of my great friends. I am blessed to surround myself with people and things that make me happy.
