Going on vacation!
And I will be back on July 18. Meanwhile I will leave you with a little photo fest of recent works, including 4 finishes!!! First of all, This is the Day!
This is the Day 
A Place We Call Home Flower basket stitched on flour sack,pattern by Aunt Martha's 
Grandma's Tea Towels
Hands to Work
32 ct. Vintage Exemplar
My own mix of Crescent Colors and Gentle Art Sampler Threads
Country Cottage Needleworks
28 ct. Country French Latte
called for list of sampler threads
OK, this technically doesn't count as a finish, because this is part of a quilt with 5 flower baskets on it. I officially finished the first one!
Crab Apple Hill
stitched on kona cotton with DMC thread.
Political Statement Ahead!! Caution!
Please forgive me, I know this blog is not about politics. But I am so appalled and shocked today I cannot be silent. Those who know me well, know that I am pro-life. I am for life in every case. I feel abortion is selfish and murder. So there is it.
The New York Times is publishing an interview with Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, our out-going supreme court justice. This article is so telling about her politics and radical feminism. Please people! We have to understand the link between abortion and eugenics!! Don't know what eugenics is? It is the ideology embraced by Hitler, in which society is "perfected" by the weeding out of "undesirables"! Here is what Ruth Bader-Ginsberg just said:
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."
This is eugenics people! This is the same idea that drove Hitler! This is what Margaret Sanger-the founder of Planned Parenthood believed in! If you don't think this affects you, you are wrong! Our country has embraced infanticide and its all downhill from there! All people deserve life! All! PEOPLE are not undesirable!
OK, I'm sorry to burden you all with this, I am just so shocked to find out that this is the belief system of someone making policy in our country.

A little progress
OR...a VERY little progress! I have mostly been model stitching, which I can't show, yet!. Here is a little I have gotten done on This is the Day:
Not much to go, just filling in the white and the over 1 words in the box!
And here is a little bit more of Houses of Hawk Run Hollow. I wish I had more time to work on this! I am loving it so much now that I have switched to 32 and 2 strands. I took it with me on vacation, but you know how THAT goes!!:)

Tea
First of all, thank you for all of the dear comments about our beloved dog whom we lost this week. I appreciate your sentiments so much. He will be missed, and after 17 years it is just weird not to have him here! There is definitely an emptiness without him.
I love tea! I love to make myself a pot of tea in the afternoon, sit down and pick up my latest embroidery. I do not have a nice tea set, what I do have is a mish-mash of tea components that do not match! I have a silver tea tray(not real silver), a blue floral tea pot, a little glass creamer, a pink floral tea bag holder(which I usually use to set my spoon on) and a set of real china tea cups from Japan with a gorgeous rose pattern(which my mother-in-law brought from Japan when she came here and has now given to me). But I enjoy this little collection almost every day.I am saving up to buy this tea set:
I really like these:
I have ordered the pattern and intend to make these for myself. I love the Crab Apple Hill patterns-they are all so cute! Do you ever do this type of stitchery? I like it as a break from cross stitch once in a while. I goes very, very fast. It seems I always get the urge to do this type of stitchery in the summer.
And almost every August I get the urge to work on a quilt.I never finish any quilt though, maybe this will be the year! I have one started from last year, a Blackbird design. I should really drag it out and get started on it.
Well thanks for putting up with my meandering thoughts. :)
