A Flimsy and Fall Photos

Happy Monday, Friends! 

Scrappiness Is Happiness is a flimsy!

This photo doesn’t look much different than last week’s because it is draped over the bed. Again…no design wall. The borders are the same fabric as the sashing and background. This was what I worked on Friday night, when I joined Cheryll for Friday Night with Friends.

If you click her name above, you can see what others worked on then.

These are the backing and binding fabrics I selected.

I did not fully finish the cross-stitch projects I had on my list. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mood. I need to be in the right frame of mind to do finishing and it escaped me last week.

Hubby and I took a stroll through downtown over the weekend. I enjoy seeing how main street changes with the seasons.

New barn stars are popping up on some of the buildings. I’ll have to do a walk-about and take pictures of them.

The lake is also in full fall glory.

The winter birds are beginning to arrive back at the house. Not a very good photo but this little finch is very colorful.

We had a family dinner on Saturday so I made a small pan of buttermilk biscuits.  I haven’t made them in a while, and I rarely make just a few. They were delicious. Hubby eats his for dessert, covered in butter and sour wood honey.

Several stitchers completed their first assignment for the Witching Hour stitch-along. I’ll share those with you on Wednesday.

In the meantime, I hope you have a great week!

July Stats and FNwF

Hello Friends, Far and near!

I hope you are having a wonderful day.

July was a productive month for me…but I am never satisfied with what I’ve done, as I always want to do so much more.

I stitched 7,464 stitches on 5 different projects during the month.

I finished stitching:

Uncle Sam

Honey Bee Basket

Honey Berry

and Liberty House

I was close to a finish on Liberty House when I shared it last week, and the last stitch went in on July 30^th.

I had two fully finishes during July:

Patriotic Quaker 1776 (stitched in June)

Grandma Winnie’s Basket (stitched in May)

And thanks to Cheryll at Gone Stitching for hosting Friday Night with Friends, I fully finished Honey Bee Basket this week.

I’m not exactly pleased with the bow yet, so it isn’t attached.

 

Hubby is taking me thrifting and antiquing this weekend. I hope to find some nice frames for finishing. Wish us luck!

Have a great day!
