Good Afternoon!
Daylight Saving Times has begun and I already don't like it! I lost an hour of sleep and the day is just rushing by...is there an off button anywhere!?!?!
I missed posting last Sunday as it was my birthday weekend celebration! My son came in from out of town and we went to an Italian Bakery Bar and the food was FABULOUS! Yummy!
So, I have some 'catching up' to do! I've got "Marry Me Chicken' in the crockpot ~ the house smells delicious....so here we go!
WHAT'S IN MY NEEDLE ~
Priscilla with Stitching With the Housewives put out the start of her Easter Roundabouts starting with Ramona Rabbit. I just knew I had to stitch her for my Easter tree! I stitched her on a scrap of 14ct light blue aida using the called for DMC theads. And wouldn't you know...her brother Ralph joined the group this week! I just printed out the pdf and as soon as I'm finished typing I'll be over it my 'stitchy spot' working on him this afternoon. The charts are available in her ETSY shop.
I then moved onto finishing BLOOM by Stitching With the Housewives. This is from her Spring Roundabouts. I only stitched two of this series and will use them on my Easter tree as well. Stitched this on the same scrap of 14ct light blue aida using the called for DMC threads as well. I purchased some daisy trim from Joanne Fabrics a few weeks ago for the outer trim on this cute round ornaments.
And...if you remember by tale of woe of having run out of #3865 and no one (Michael's/ Joanne Fabrics) having any in stock and how I had to purchase some from 123Stitch....here is why!
FORGET ME NOT seeds by Stitching With the Housewives is why! These cute little seed pack charts she put out in 2022 and I've had them and wanted to Stitch My Stash this year. I stitched all of these charts on 14ct black aida using the called for DMC threads.
Next came LAVENDER seeds, CONEFLOWER seeds, and DAISY seeds.
And this morning I finished stitching BLACK EYED SUSAN seeds.
So now onto the fully-finishing part. I have a cute idea in mind, now let's see if I can get the idea out of my mind and into reality! Stay posted!

WHAT'S IN MY GARDEN ~
We have tomato plants coming up. My strawberry from months ago is still going strong and another baby was just born this week. We've got a baby pineapple that sprouted this week and I planted some gladiolus and dahlia's this week. Keep your fingers crossed. We haven't had rain in 20+ days so the early evening watering has started again.
