August's Poppy - Still Stitching

The weather changed late Saturday night to rain, so I was able to get some stitching done on Sunday. "August's Poppy" now sports a sailboat and anchor and the completed sentiment. There's still lots of border work to be done before I tackle the poppies.

August's Poppy Progress

I have neglected Cottage Garden Sampling's "August's Poppy" as of late.  Last night I got it out and stitched one of the roiling waves and "When the waves..." I don't know why I set it aside as I really enjoy working on it.  So it's back on my stitching rotation for sure!

Summer-Like Weather Summer Stitch

Well, it's time to get working on another in the series.

I've kitted up Cottage Garden Samplings "August's Poppy".

Bright bright colors on this one - it should be fun. 

The weather the past few days has seemed almost summer-like too. I've been outside without a coat or sweater or tights - just a summery polo dress.  The cats and I have been loving it.

July's Delphinium - Finished

Here it is - finished!

Design - "July's Delphinium"

Designer - Cottage Garden Samplings

Fabric - 32 count Lambswool linen

Fibers - GAST & WDW & DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads

Started - 12 January 2014

The delphiniums were a little 'fiddly' to stitch, but it was worth it as they turned out very life-like. This series continues to delight me month after month!

Series Sunday Progress

What with one thing and another (life) I haven't worked on Cottage Garden Sampling's "July's Delphinium" for a couple of weeks. Sunday evening's Oscar telecast provided the perfect opportunity to get back on track.  I managed to stitch one leaf and a stock of delphinium.

Padma and Parvati used the evening to map out a new Synchronized Sleeping routine. Who spent the evening more wisely?

April's Daisy - Finished

Another month finished!!!

I was able to get April's Daisy finished last weekend. Sorry for the wrinkles but I don't want to iron until I get finish May's Lily of the Valley. I do enjoy the way these pieces are coming together and look when completed next to each other.

April Showers

Hello everyone!!

I finally have a new update. After a long absence I have finally picked up My Garden Journal again. I am currently working on April.

I forgot how much I love working on this series. I also forgot how the starting can be a little time consuming.

Thank you for stopping by,

Ta Ta for now,
Angela CG
