I've made some progress on "August's Poppy" and have stitched the blossoms. Now I just have stems and leaves left to stitch. Then on to September's design.

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.

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?
