Summer is moving right along and
I have had a good stitchy one thus far....
After the 4th holiday, I pulled out
CHS "Matter's Choice".
I love everything about this piece.
CHS "Matter's Choice" stitched on 40ct Meadow Rue
with Victorian Motto "1840 Cranberry Rainbow"
I did change it a little bit and added
my initials and the year at the bottom.

I reached into my big bag of WIPS and
this was the lucky draw.
As you can imagine, I couldn't help but
hum that favorite hymn as I stitched.

stitched on 40ct PTP Mello with Victorian Motto threads
I am blessed to be married to my
best friend so I added
mine and my hubby's initials.
The colors were so soothing to stitch
and I truly enjoyed this one.

With the beginning of August I couldn't
resist spending some time with Miss Martha.
The colors in this one just pop and
the combination of the teal blue and
golden mustard work perfectly together.

I needed a quick gift for a friend and
decided the bonus chart from
Lizzie Kate's Things Unseen Mystery Sampler
would be perfect.
LK "Things Unseen" bonus chart
stitched on 40ct PTP Sand with
Victorian Motto threads
The original design was charted to be
rectangular but it was easy to alter
into a square shape for the perfect no-sew finish.
The base for this finish is a little wooden
plaque from Hobby Lobby, and with a
little paint and Briwax, finishing
couldn't have been easier.
While at Hobby Lobby, I spotted a
galvanized plaque that I thought would
be perfect for another recent finish I had.
A little more paint and I have the perfect
backdrop for this cute design.
Oh....I still am in love with that fabric...
WDW Red Pear...got to find some more.

I loved this design the first time I saw it and
I am happy to have it in my office so that
I can be reminded often to have a great day.

Well I hope you are staying cool and
crossing many stitches.
Thanks as always for visiting my
small corner of the stitching universe
and happy stitching.....
