~ Two Framed Stitchies ~

Hi everyone. Monday afternoon I picked up my two finished pieces and I'm really pleased with the way they turned out. I hung LOVE in the dinning room above a small cabinet that belonged to my dad. I agonised over this frame but I "love" it. If you click on the picture you can see the light green on the frame, I think it looks nice with the vine work. Here is.....

Home Sweet Home. It's right as you enter our home, I

tucked it in the center of our hall tree. It's one of the first things we see when we enter and I always say, there is no place I'd rather be then "Home Sweet Home." Hugs, and happy days to you...Linda

~ The Latest ~

Hi everyone...hope you had a great weekend, we had a wet one. It has been raining on and off here for the past week and more showers are predicted for this week. I did get my stitchie homework finished and I also finished reading...... Tribute. It was a good little mystery/love story and I've just now started reading the latest book in the Blossom Street series and I'm loving it.

Debbie Macomber is such a wonderful author, I've just started Chapter 3 and already hate to put Summer on Blossom Street down...it's that good. Well, put it down I must...I have a lab appointment and then I heading to Michale's....my framing is finished. I can hardly wait to see how it looks.....see you soon, hugs, Linda

~ Happy May Day ~

Happy May Day! Today is May 1st, a time to surprise friends and family with a poesy or two. When you were in school did you make May baskets for your family or a neighbor? We did...our teachers would bring flowers from home and we would fill our baskets, run home, hang them on the front door, ring the doorbell then hide. It was so fun watching that special person when they opened the door.....here are a few May flowers from my yard and out and about. Wisteria intwined with a tree in our backyard...I love it.

This azalea blooms without fail every year.....

Pretty yellow iris...for some reason iris blooms make me think of orchids.

Beautiful snowball bush...I wish it were mine......

My all time favorite rose, Secret. This rose has the most beautiful fragrance...I wish you could smell it and I wish you a wonderful May Day...hugs, Linda

~ Happy Birthday Lisa ~

We love you more than all the fish in the ocean and stars in the sky. Hugs, kisses and all our love, Mommy and Daddy.

~ A Sweet Little Weed ~

Hi everyone, I'm taking a little break, I just finished doing a bit of weeding in the front flower bed and the house is cleaned...well actually I think I'm finished working for the day. Anyway, it had rained earlier this morning and I wanted to get to a few weeds while the ground was nice and soft. Look at this pretty little thing...it's so sweet I just couldn't pull it. There was one more little bunch and I left them too, but all the other fellas are gone. Now I'm ready for lunch and a little stitching. Speaking of stitching I did take my two pieces to Michale's for framing....it took me the longest time choosing frames. Selecting the one for Home Sweet Home was fairly easy...but the Love stitchie was a different story. I had my heart set on a green frame, they had a few to choose from but none were the right shade, but I did finally settle on a pretty frame that I liked.....they'll be ready in about 10 days...I can't wait.

Well,~ have a happy weekend...hugs, Linda

~ A Pretty Stitch ~

Good morning everyone. Thank you for all the sweet comments and well wishes for our anniversary....we did have a happy day.


How pretty is this framed piece? This is Carolyn's (my SIL) stitchie, it's the second piece our stitching group did.
She just got it back from the framers and sent me this picture. Oh, such nice work and I think the green frame she used is perfect. I love it. I'm off to Michale's today...

to get both these pieces framed. I'd love to find a green frame for my Love piece and I'm not sure about Home Sweet Home, for some reason I want something very simple. Well, I best get busy, I have a few things to do here and I'd like to get an early start. See you soon...Hugs, Linda
