A Look Back Over The Summer...

It has been a gorgeous full summer...

~ Lots of boogie boarding ~

My 'surf girl' Granddaughter...

My son, riding in the waves...

The Grands, washing their wheels...

Long bike rides every day...

Lots of these...

means plenty of this...

My 'go to' for breakfast, 

lunch or dinner !

waffles - fresh peaches - strawberry syrup

An early Birthday gift for me !!

(from my Granddaughter)

~L.O.V.E.~

Waaaaay too much of this !

Fantastic ice cream treats

from The Jigger Shop in Mt. Gretna, PA

Even more ice cream for the Grands...

while visiting the 

Turkey Hill Experience

in Columbia, PA

Lovin on the 'farm kitties'...

And finally...

I have been working slowly on

the 'Three Things Sampler'

by Moira Blackburn.

28ct. Lakeside Linen in Meadow Rue

2 over 2

Stitch count is 263w x 359h

Enjoy the last couple weeks 
of August, my Friends...

Three Things Sampler...

My work continues on this

beautiful sampler from

Moira Blackburn

No matter how busy my day,

there is always just a little time for 

a stitch or two or twenty !

If I'm really honest, I have been known

to stay up until the wee hours,

peacefully stitching on this Sampler.

Stitched 2 over 2 on

28ct. Lakeside Linen

in 'Meadow Rue'.

Stitch count 263w x 359h

I love the look of hand dyed thread,

so my local needlework shop helped

me to convert the original shades,

to Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Art Threads.

I've had several requests for the 

conversion of threads I'm using.

While it's too lengthy to list here on the blog,

if you email me at 

roseclay@threesheepstudio. com

I'll be happy to email you the 

thread conversion I am using

for 'Three Things Sampler'.

Three Things Sampler...

Starting off the week with new 

floss and linen...

Since finishing 'His eye is on the Sparrow',

I have been looking for a new 'long term' project

to begin.  I have really enjoyed always

having a stitching project 'at the ready' 

to work on.  

Delicate small 'rosebuds' frame out

this new project...

I enjoy doing cross stitch in my 'free time',

most evenings for an hour or two (or three).

This design called for DMC,

but I love the variations of the hand dyed floss.

My local Needlework shop 

"Stitches Unlimited", helped me to 

convert the DMC to Gentle Art and 

Weeks Dye Works threads.

'Three Things Sampler'

is a cross stitch design by

Moira Blackburn

I purchased the pattern online

at 123 Stitch

This design is beautiful...

I am stitching it on 28ct. Lakeside Linen in 

'Meadow Rue',  2 over 2.

Stitch count is 263w x 359h

that will never come back.

The arrow shot forth

on its destined track.

The appointed hour that

could not wait and

The helpful word that 

was spoken too late."

Have a lovely Monday my Friends...
