SUMMER STITCHIN"

It's a lovely day to sit out and stitch......

Yeah, a bit warm, but I don't mind.

There's a breeze every now and then and I

love to listen to the birds and see them play

in the fountain.

We have a nest of baby robins in our 

Dogwood tree and I can see and hear

them every time mommy comes home with

a meal.

Gosh, I love summer.

Here's what's on my lap as I sit in

my comfy sand chair on the back deck.

A bit of a sneak peek at the next

bee design!  Still quite a bit of stitching to go.

Can I just tell you how much I love my new organizer/clipboard
that I got from Ann at Dyeing to Stitch.
This is just perfect for traveling or to take outside
 with me to stitch.  Nothing is blowing away anymore.
I keep all my floss inside the sliding lid.  I keep
my scissors and sheath under the clip and just pull
 the scissors out to make a snip and then back in
the sheath they go.  Best thing I've purchase in a
loooooong time.

I know I promised some new shots of the garden.
So here they are......

I grew this Lacecap Hydrangea from a cutting
I took a few years ago from the mother plant.
It get the most magnificent blue.

Our Lavender Hidcote, which now needs a cutting,
so I can have some dried for later.

This is our WILD side garden.  I don't know what these
flowers are as they seeded from our neighbor's garden.
They're really pretty and the bees love them.

I'll leave you with a shot of where my hubby and I
usually hang out every evening and watch the sun
set with a few beverages :)

Wish you all could join us!
Happy Summer Stitching!
