Rambling Monday Thoughts

Well, today is a Monday and going well so far. Taking a lunch break now before the afternoon.
During lunch I think about all the things I need to do when I get home. I felt so bad last night. I stitched until midnight and almost.....almost ..... finished the Dutch sampler.

OH, how I wanted to finish it. I have about 10 other designs I want to start so I'm thinking of what will be next. I do have alot of WIPs and should....should that is.....finish one of those first.
After finishing the one letter I have left on the Dutch sampler and framing tonight, I will post a pic. I'm already charging up my camera battery to be prepared.

I've been in a Little House Needleworks mood lately. I was going to start another Sampler Girl design but.........yep.........I saw one of the new LHN designs Be True and pulled it out of my basket and looking at the colors. They are so pretty. No specialty threads, DMC threads. I have a special small space in my bedroom for this little finish too. I need to see this daily little reminder every morning by my bed so it's probably going to be my next start.

I also have a finished a small angel sampler that I've had in my basket for 2 years now and just didn't know who to give it to but I knew it would be a special person. I ran across it this week in my stitching nook and already have the perfect frame for it. I will frame it tonight as well and get a pic. There is someone I know for sure who needs this special angel.

Well, off to start the afternoon.
Here's hoping that everyone's Monday is a good one.
Talk later,

Thomas and His Serious Naps

Thomas takes serious naps between 12-4pm......I mean serious naps. Usually he picks one of the porch rockers to melt in to but today, we looked out across the woods and thought he was injured or dead..............he was lying on his back with his paws in the air.

Yep, we had to call loudly for him to pop up here. Bodyguard is cleaning up around the outside of the house, so Thomas had to move his serious afternoon nap out in the woods where he spends his quiet time.

He says, "Maybe if I look the other way, momma will not take another picture...... again!"

"Well, come on and get a picture if you must and then let me go back to my nap!"

Ok, Thomas, don't scare me again buddy.

Saturday Progress

From this~~~~~~

To this~~~~~ Saturday night

Almost there. The New Amsterdam 1624 Sampler by The Sampler Girl. Plan to finish and frame today! YIPPEE!

I have enjoyed stitching the blue colors in this piece.

Yesterday we had fun, went to a hotdog grill-out then came home to watch a little Gone With The Wind video I have had for awhile and one of my favorite movies.

Then Bodyguard helped me rearrange my bedroom..........every now and again I get in the mood for the bed to go a different direction or such.......not very often but last night was one of those days. I really like it. It's a good change.

The sun is out this morning and my coffee is tasting mighty good right now! Summer is definitely here with the warm temps, upper 80's, maybe 90 today.

Well, I will post my next project or projects coming up soon.

Fiddle-de-dee..............
