Back from the framer


Designer: The Chocolate Cat

Fabric 18CT Vintage Country Mocha
Floss: Gloriana Silk - Autumn Arbor
1st Stitch: 03/18/2019 - Last Stitch: 03/19/2019
For: Emily and Carlos
This was my first time stitching with silk and I unknowingly stitched with 2 strands.  Next time I will know to only use one strand.  However, I do like the effect on this.  Can't wait for Emily and Carolos to see it.

Butterflies

Bob was out in the back yard yesterday taking pictures of butterflies.  We have so many this year and I love to sit on the porch and watch them flutter among the flowers.

Just finished listening to Rusian Roulette

I just finished listening to Russian Roulette by Michael Isikoff and & David Corn.  A good read if you are at all interested in the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.  Very scary to think this pppened in 2016 and that it is almost sure to happen again in 2020.

Christmas Ornament FFO

This is the last of the Christmas ornaments I have to do for this year.  No guarantee I won't stitch more Christmas ornaments.  This ornament is for a great-niece who lives in Spain.  She is getting married in October to a Spaniard.  Unfortunately the wedding is here in the states and not in Spain.  I was hoping for a trip to Spain.
