Friday night started out with a nice dinner out with DH, during which we watched a summer storm. The winds howled, the thunder boomed, and we got nearly an inch of glorious rain! The end of dinner coincided with the end of the storm, so we hurried home for me to get to stitching.
I began by putting the final touches on these two BOM blocks. I’m now ready and waiting for the August block.
Then I finished the postcard I made for a swap. It was my first postcard, and I was a little hesitant, but now I can’t wait to make more!
This is all I can show until the recipient receives it. My partner is a little more efficient than me, and I received my postcard in the mail today. Isn’t this wonderful?
The flower is awesome – enlarge the picture to see it more closely. Thanks Linda!
I also did some cross stitching on Santa’s Village. I couldn’t fall asleep, so I got up and stitched well into the night. I’m several months behind, and my goal is to be finished by the end of the year.
Earlier this week, I received my June Inchies from a different Linda.
I really must decide what to do with all my pretty pinkness. Any ideas?
Today brought more storms, so we stayed home, and I stitched some more! I’m working on a swap item, and I decided to make two of the same thing, so I’ll have one for myself. Pictures to follow in the near future.
Good night, my kind friends . . . Sunny
lots of beautiful work there Sunny,well done.xx

Also I wanted to ask about your postcard...what materials did you use on yours to get it nice and stiff? I am going to be making some soon so am interested!!
ReplyDeleteSunny are your snowmen from Primitive Gatherings? I've been looking at that BOM and trying to decide if I want to spend that much money on it. :). Blessings, Marlene
ReplyDeleteOur weather finally broke last night, too, and today feels much better, although still overcast. I'll be watching for your postcard. I just made my first recently and was on pins and needles until I heard it had been received. They are fun. Your snowmen are a delight; and they look cool:)
