A new start...

Hi,
We just came back from a week of camping on the DelMarVa....had a great time. Today my best friend and I went stitching with a group of ladies at a near by church. We also had a pot luck. It was great stitching, and seeing all the ladies, we have not been there in a few months due to schedules. The food was great, there were 11 of us there today. Why my new start....when I am at the church I have to stitch on something with a big count....so I started the July towel, Year of towels. I did not complete the March towel but I could not bring that today.....So I started the July...LOL. We are meeting again this Sunday, so I hope to bring something new, I plan on finishing up July........
Hope you all are enjoying your summer.

Weekend around the house

No stitching as of yet this weekend, worked around the house, cleaning, getting things ready to drop off at Goodwill, cutting the grass. Spent last night with some friends on the way there we picked up some local Shrimp Salad. Had a nice easy meal and lots of chatting. Great to get together. Yesterday afternoon took a ride to the LNS to pick up my latest JABC Teacup...June. Reading recently....enjoying some romance novels. Not much else is new. Hope you are able to stitch. Til next time.

Memorial Day Weekend

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend, we spent Saturday and Monday working around the house. On Sunday we spent the day at my sisters, hanging out and celebrating a birthday. I did start something new I went and bought the threads a few weeks ago for the Nuts Stitch Here pillow. I started it on Saturday, and have the acorns stitched, the rest of Saturday, I did quite a bit of sewing, 4 pillows, some mending and a duvet for my nephew. Trains on one side and wolves running on the other. Been doing things that need to done around the house. No big stitching just here and there, I have to be in the moment to stitch. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

Camping, No Stitching

Went camping this weekend on the Eastern Shore, had a great time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weather was good, but raining when packing up this morning. No stitching as of late, plan to get it out tonight so I can stitch some tomorrow night. I took it with me, but did not get it out this weekend. Hopefully you all are stitching some. I caught up on all the blog reading, I really enjoy reading about all the stitching and activities going on.

I Finally Stitched!!!

Tonight, I finally stitched working on a March Towel but I stitched. Finished up the body of the sheep and did its backstitch. ( I have to backstitch as I go a long....if I left it til the end I would never finish any project.) I also worked on some of the words....I am at the end of a thread so, I am done for the night....but I stitched. Hopefully I can stitch a little each night....it is so relaxing...just thinking of the design. The hockey game was on and it was nice to listen to it even though the Caps lost tonight. Game 5 tomorrow, hopefully we will see part of that game. Hopefully your needles are working if not maybe sometime soon.

Hopefully the weather will turn for the better, it has been raining for about the last ten or so days.
