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.

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,

July in December

 

I decided to battle the gray fog and work on Cottage Garden Sampling's "July's Delphinium". As you can see it has lots of bright cheerful colors.

I was able to make a good start on the border.
