Well hello all, hope you all had a nice weekend and managed to get some stitching in .
Here I am happy to say we have had some rain , but I wonder if that's it for summer days and will we get more so we can get to sit in ! and enjoy the garden and wild life .
I think we have only sat out in the Spring , and that the Summer was a hot wash , just to hot to sit out .
I tried it one day and took out my favourite ice cream a Magnum, they are so yummy .
I thought this will keep me cool while I sit out , so it was all going so well , I was trying to eat the top and the sides , then the front slid down onto the clean slabs then while I was trying to kick it away so hubby could not see the mess on his clean slabs the other side slid down my front well it was a mess worse than the mess my GC use to make .
So now we see who can eat one with out making a mess , so far no one can win not in the sun shine we have had .
I hope we get a few more sunny days so we enjoy the rest of the Magnums in the freezer .
Any way moving on I stitched another little winter stitch this week , I also got in a little mess with this one and need to put a little more snow in place .
It was from a calendar 2009 a friend sent to me by Kirsten Schmidt .
I used DMC threads and a oddment of fabric from my large box given to me by another friend who no longer stitches .
I lost the chart looked everywhere and tried to make it look the same .
I have just found the chart again on the back of this picture !
So there you go I am just not with it at all , ha .
Your little bird with the snow drops is darling June. :)

ReplyDeleteBellissimo il ricamo con l'uccellino e anche i puzzle che vuoi fare mi piacciono molto
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got some much needed rain, June! We had some the past couple of nights and it's been very welcome. Your flowers are still looking lovely in spite of all the heat this summer. Love your sweet bird! And the design in your header is so cute and summery! I bet you are counting down the days until your trip--hope they go quickly. Enjoy your week ♥
ReplyDeleteDear June, See? my wish for English weather has worked ;-)) We have another very warm day here but the snowdrops you stitched already make me feel cooler ;-)) Nice Tomatoes!!

We haven't had rain at all yet! The little bird is very sweet, haven't seen many of them in my garden.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog break, I am sure it will be much cooler when you return!
Your stitching is beautiful as always June. I love the look of those puzzles. I was at my local Library & I see they rent out puzzles for 50 cents for 3 weeks - they had some good gardening ones I might try. I hope you get to eat your magnums without disaster this week!!! xx

Dear June,
ReplyDeleteyour new bird makes the heat feeling cooler, but your flowers like the sun. You're always taking care for the garden therefore they are so beautiful, isn't it? And your tomatoes are marvellous ;-)
Enjoy the day, hugs Erna
LOL I bet you looked just like your GC when you were trying to kick away the mess before your DH came! Your bird looks great. Nice puzzles, looking forward to seeing them put together.
ReplyDeleteCiao June I like your new header and your new puzzles, particularly the first one. The flowers from your garden are beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice afternoon,

Przeurocza kartka z kalendarza, ten ptaszek i przebiśniegi...wzruszający 😊
ReplyDeleteThe little bird and the early snowdrops is another sweet little stitch. I love the story of eating your treat and trying to hide the evidence. Your puzzle choices are pretty. And you must have the greenest thumb in your town. See you in October.
