Another Finish Mill Hill Lazy Daisy Days

Hi,

I finished up Mill Hill Lazy Daisy Days by Mill Hill today and finished it into a frame I had in my stash. I restarted this kit Feb 2020 because I made a counting mistake that I could not fix and finished it today 4 Sept 2020. I hope you are all doing well and getting some stitching in. Until next time, Sue in DE

Finished September Handy Towel

 Hi,

I stitched the September Handy Towel Leisure Arts by Kathie Rueger. I stitched this towel from 12 Aug -3 Sep 2020. I was hoping to finish before the end of August but it was Sept. I have had these towels in my stash for a long time and decided this and next year I will get them all stitched. I still like all the designs. Things are well with us. Still social distancing unless we need to go out for supplies. I hope you all are doing well. 

Until next time, hope you can stitch. Sue in DE

Been a While

Hi everyone,

Been social distancing at home and at our seasonal camper. Very little stitching but I did finish the brown flower scarf. Started it in late Feb and knitted on and off and finished it today. Today we also put rock near steps by our back patio.
















The picture is our front area with my elephant ears. I really like them. Hope you can stitch. Til next time, Sue in DE

Winter Nights by Pine Mountain

Wrapping it up! 2019

Hi,

Hope everyone had Happy Holidays and wishing you a Happy New. No posts in the last 3 months, we have moved to our retirement home. Lots to do for that, purging stuff, packing stuff, moving stuff and unpacking stuff. I have stitched a little about 2 weeks ago before the Christmas Holidays. We spent a few days between Christmas and New Years down in North Carolina/Tennessee with Family. Had a great time. 

So this year I completed stitching these pattern including my longest WIP. It is completed finished the others need to be FFO'ed. 

And I read 44 books.
