Raining today .

 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 .

 

                      I have sorted two nice puzzles  out for the Autumn I would like to do.





 Well  that's it from me this week ,   I will be back next week then I will be taking a blog break for a month and will see you in October .

Have fun and I will leave you with my flowers that are still holding on after the hot Summer .

 











                       The out door tomatoes have been a winner so sweet and yummy .

  4. I'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 ♥

  7. 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

  18. The 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.
