Happy Monday folks. I am enjoying a very nice cool morning....sunshine and a light breeze and bird calls all around me...my kind of start to the day. Coffee is on its way.
A quiet weekend at home is what I fancied and what I achieved this past weekend. I pulled a weed here and there, watered the garden but mostly sat and stitched. I haven't worked on any stitchery for a while until recently. So I stitched up a storm.
3 more letters were finished in my Country at Heart Alphabet....S....T....U
2 little teeny blocks from Gardener's Journal were stitched as well.
Yesterday Mr. R. had a watching sport type date so I cosied down in my chair and watched "How to Make an American Quilt ". I had recorded it for just this type of occassion. I do love that movie. Although I still cringe when Winona Ryder drags that beautiful quilt through the dirt......I still shout..."pick the end of that quilt up girl! " Lol! Whilst watching I traced out all the remaining blocks for GJ....
So there is no turning back now! "Quiet " may not be everyone's cup of tea but often it is definitely mine.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
More lovely stitcheries! Loved reading this post. You remind me of me. I do enjoy the quiet and movies and stitching.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the best kind of weekend to me!! Well done on the stitchathon, the blocks are beautiful. I saw that movie on retreat last July and yelled the same thing!! Suprised the other ladies there, Lol!! Is a good opportunity to trace of your stitcheries. Love little Linus, great saying.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect weekend to me! I recently picked up some counted cross stitch and quickly became hooked again. I've never seen the movie you referenced. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had the best weekend. Love that movie too & i get so annoyed about the quilt getting dragged in the dirt. Love your sticheries. Hugs, xx
