Hey Everyone!
Good Morning. It is actually chilly here this morning (40's) and I put the heat on in the bathroom when I took my shower. Temps are moderating (or really, falling) this week. And, naturally, more rain is in the forecast for the next several days. I had been looking forward to seeing my friend Carol on Wednesday, but with a 95% chance of rain forecast, she has decided she doesn't really want to drive on 95 in the rain to get here. So, postponed for another week or so. Yesterday was still quite windy, but I'm happy to see that seems to have gone away now.
It feels as though I could be closing in on a finish to the Kindness sampler!! I managed to do quite a bit of stitching over the weekend.
The last of the green (Weeks Dye Works Kudzu) was stitched and I believe I am finished with the darkest brown (WDW Chestnut). There is more of the paler brown (WDW Cocoa) and then the bottom center is (you can probably figure it out) a basket. I guess it will look woven since it is stitched in two colors. Lastly there is a mix of colors all around - mostly the colors in the flowers and the four corners. I started that some time ago (upper left). Who knows? Maybe I will be able to finish it up this week...
We've been sitting on the patio in the late afternoon before dinner and have been enjoying watching "our" bluebirds flit around. They are nesting in our bluebird house (which was taken over by wrens last year). We also have wrens nesting in another birdhouse. I often see bluebirds at C&M's as well. And, C&M have fox kits who come out and frolic in their back yard (just beyond their fence). Yesterday Colin sent me a video of the kits and they just look so happy jumping up into the air!
That's a wrap for me. Time to fetch another cup of coffee and get moving. Have a great Tuesday!
Oooh, you are so close to finishing! I have a feeling you'll have a completed piece to share next Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIt was 45º here when I got up this morning. That's a little cool for me for this time of year, but I'd rather have it be a little cool than the 80s with humidity we had last week. We're also expecting rain starting late today. I actually don't mind because I'd like it to water the flowers I planted on Sunday!
You're getting closer, and I will be glad to see Kindness at least once more. I love the cooler weather. Saturday was way too hot and humid for me, but I bet there will be more of that since it's not even June yet. I'm trying to get all the laundry, vacuuming, and mopping done today so I can sit and read and/or knit tomorrow when it's cold and rainy and not feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteThat one is really coming together
ReplyDeleteIt's on the cooler side here, but it's been perfect for working in the garden.
It is so beautiful out. I even made a fire on the deck this morning since it was so chilly. Wouldn't it be nice if it would stay this way? u
ReplyDeleteYou're so close on that project. I bet you're already getting excited about the next one.
Your stitching is as beautiful as our weather has been... last night it dipped into the 40's which is perfect sleeping weather for me! Have a fantastic Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteFOXES! I would love to see that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching--it is really stunning! The basket will really set off the other colors!
ReplyDeleteWe've had much, much cooler weather and thunderstorms too, for the past two days. The humidity is ridiculously high though.
ReplyDeleteAlex had fox kits two springs ago in his London garden. They caused quite the ruckus at night but were cute as can be.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
I LOVE that sampler, Vera! Although I like everything you stitch, I think that one is my Favorite Of All Time. (The design, the colors, and the sentiment . . . to me . . . are a perfect combination.) We're having absolutely crap weather here. Where did spring go????
ReplyDeletewe had bluebirds where I used to live but not here. I miss them. I have mostly goldfinches at the thistle feeder with the occasional sparrow or chickadee. Sometimes a cardinal tries but it's just too big, lol.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that project -- great design & wonderful colors!!
