Counted Cross Stitch Progress...

As summer is wearing on, I have once again 
started to pick up and work on
"His Eye Is On The Sparrow" cross stitch design,
by Beth Twist of Heartstring Samplery.

It feels good to have it in my hand again.
It's like an old friend at the end of the day...
relaxing and easy... one motif at a time.

I keep this piece at my stitching chair, so that I
can pick it up readily and work on it, 
even when I only have a short amount of time.

Working with hand dyed threads is always a pleasure,
because the finished product is never the same..but rather 
holds plenty of movement and is instantly aged.

I took this picture today.
What ??  Let's get a closer look...





This thermometer is just outside my kitchen window.
Really ???  This is Pennsylvania...on the East coast !
Unbelievable !

Hope wherever you are, 
you're staying cool...
I refilled my birdbath twice today,
so that the birds would have cool water
to drink and splash around in.  ;)
