Happy Friday, Friends!
This week’s cross stitch progress involves two projects.
The first is the May Day start I mentioned in this post last week. Happy Day by Plum Street Samplers…
I’m stitching this on 36 count linen by Fiber on a Whim, in the color Silver Fox. I’m using two strands of floss over two linen threads. Typically, I use only one strand of floss on 36 and 40 count linens. Some linen fabrics are too tight to handle two strands of floss but Fiber on a Whim is a bit looser. I love the coverage.
The second project I
worked on is Pinker n Punkin’s Summer Stamp Sampler.
Melisa released stamp number 3 on Tuesday. This is stitched on 28 count lugana (evenweave) by Zweigart, in the color Mushroom. I'm using the called-for DMC floss. Two strands of floss over two threads of fabric.
This is Summer Treat. Thank you, Melisa, for such a fun stitch along.
Last Saturday was the plant sale at the lake. I got there early, before the advertised opening, and there were already a lot of customers. I purchased a few small geraniums and a hanging basket. I also got a T-shirt and a small sign. I’ll share photos of my haul in a future post. It wasn’t much but it did support the lake.
The local middle and high
schools were also having plant sales that day, but we were issued a freeze warning
for Saturday night and Sunday morning. I didn’t want to buy a bunch of plants and
have them sit in the garage for a week or so. I don’t have much time during the
week for gardening.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms.
I’ll see you soon!
