Stitching In August...

~  August ~

My pumpkin vine is sporting the most gorgeous

large golden flowers...

but, NO pumpkins !

It seems between the squirrels and the skunks,

there is not a one wee pumpkin that survives.

I'll simply have to be happy to have 

sunny blooms greet me each morning.

More time is spent indoors sewing.

'His Eye is on the Sparrow'

counted cross stitch design,

from Beth Twist at Heartstring Samplery.

This is a beautiful design on 28ct. Cashel linen

Stitch count 435 x 363

I'm a little more than halfway finished,

but still have soooo much more to go !

See that lovely tray on the arm of my chair ?

Since purchasing my Stitchers Tray,

from Notforgotten Farm,

it never leaves my side !

'Invaluable' !

This bird is one of my favorites...
the color and size 
(compared to the other motifs),
makes me smile.

One motif at a time.

convince us to rush

 or we can choose

to live in the moment.

Connected with our stitching

and the past.

Even if it is for only 

a few minutes a day."

Have a lovely day, my friends !
