Tiny Needle Tuesday 5/20/25

 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!
