I guess you must all be out enjoying the nice weather!
I've been home playing nurse to DH, who had one knee replacement surgery on May 15, and the 2nd on Monday. He's been keeping me pretty busy! LOL Anyone have any county/state fairs coming up that you're entering? I can't think of anything I've finished in the last year to enter! I must have *something*....... -- Joan See my pictures he http://ndjoan.shutterfly.com/pictures If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry!

We were hoping DH would be having his other knee replaced this summer (first one was done in 2009) but we have to get his diabetes numbers down a bit before the surgeon will operate.
Not much new stitching going on since I'm taking a break from the baby sampler and working on a hand project for the library. I'll be "teaching" a project where we trace a child's hand on a piece of fabric & then they stitch around it. Once it's done, we center it in a wooden hoop, cut the excess fabric off of the back and run a line of glue around it. They have something ready to hang as soon as they get home. :-) I have a really simple sample made, for younger kids but am working on a more advanced one to entice tweens & teens that has pink fingernails and will have a ring on it. For the "jewel" on the ring I'm going to use a single pierced earring. Liz from Humbug |

I am here reading but haven't done any stitching for a long time. I really hope to get back to it soon. Sharon in MN |

I still check in every week, but lately there have been no new posts.
I am still stitching the Ivory-Billed woodpecker, but my daughter and grands are visiting next week and staying for a month, so the stitching will be put away. Have to give up my dedicated stitching spot on the couch. Rich On Fri, 9 Jun 2017 16:03:29 -0500, Joan Erickson wrote: I guess you must all be out enjoying the nice weather!

It has been quiet again Rich. I have not been stitching for a while and
really want to get back to it but to have to put it away when you are in the mood for stitching is really hard. I would do that when my brother would come to visit before he passed. I am hoping that by this fall I will be in the mood again to stitch. It has been quite a while and I love stitching. Hope to see a little activity here soon. Sharon in MN "Rich" wrote in message ...

I have some of those and some various-sized pearls left over from a dress I made for DD's best friend once upon a time. I also have a small jar of miscellaneous unknown beads. Want them? I'd be happy to send them.

I guess you must all be out enjoying the nice weather! I have been enjoying the nice weather and the rainy weather as well! Yard work when it's nice and stitching when it's rainy. I went through my WIPs bin and put all my old WIPs on qsnaps or scroll rods. A couple of WIPs were too small for qsnaps, but they got finished anyway. The two that I finished were "With enough coffee I could rule the world" and the "Pastel Heart Sampler" by Woolgathering. Not sure of that website. Now that I have most of my WIPs at the ready, maybe I can get them done so I can start something new! Ready WIPs: 1. The Castle by TW 2. Majestic Eagle by Sunset (a kit) 3. Feathered Stars by Design Works Crafts (a kit) 4. The Promise-Bald Eagle by The Gold Collection (Dimensions kit) 5. Too Cold To Go Outside by Julia Lucas (from a magazine) Ok, I confess. I started a new project last night. But project #5 is almost done, I just need to finish shiny threads and the beads! The new project is very small, under 3 inches square. It's called "Heart - Zigzag Rainbow" by Katherine Martin Tripp from the website www.better-cross-stitch-patterns.com Not sure if it was free or not, but it's cute, small and colorful. I feel so much better now that I've confessed. As punishment I'll do more housework...tomorrow!!! So what is everyone else up to? Sincerely, Up to no good, Dawn |

Sincerely, Up to no good, Dawn I'm still here but knitting rather than stitching proper. My younger daughter goes to a yoga session and one of the others enquired after her socks. So you can guess, I wound up committing to two pairs for her. She wanted to pay me but since she and her husband go yearly for a couple of months to work with Cambodian kids, I said no, 'what goes around comes around' - anyway the circle completes itself I suppose as any yarn I have left over goes to a friend who knits bears that are given to the fire department and police for 'stress bears' for kids. So I had more yarn for her :) |

I been "lurking" for ages, but rain this weekend meant I finally got a few more stitches done on my "Rowan Tree" crewel kit. I have also knitted a couple of scarves.
