I love how this turn out.  It is so pretty.  This was my Evening Easy Project to work on until I finished it.  I just love this.  A Good Close Dear Family Friend is going to receive this.  She is paying me for this.  Someday I will stitch this again for myself and have it hanging up in my Living Room.  

Thank you for looking

Front Porch View

My Front Porch View - Our Happy Place - this is where Me and Buttercup spend our Mornings - we drink Hot Tea - Have Toast with Grape Concord Jelly on it - and we read our Bible together.  

The Windows are very wide and tall and they open up.  Love My Front Porch and so does Buttercup.  

God Bless You

Love & Prayers

Buttercup guarding my Front Screen Door

Buttercup - My 8 Year Old Child - Guarding my Front Screen Door - He is being such a wonderful Kitty Guard.  Good for you Buttercup.  I am so very proud of you.  You get Extra Treats today.  

He loves spending time on HIS Front Porch.  He would stay out on the Front Porch all day and all night if he had it his way.  I love my Front Porch too.  Nice Big Wide Windows that opens up.  I just wish the Flooring was finished up.  One of these days it will be. 

Thank You all for all of your lovely sweet comments.  I appreciate them very much.

God Bless You

This is my progress on the ABC's des Maisons.  I am on the Home Stretched of this now.  I just have the Letters XYZ to do and than this project will be finished.

A Good Close Dear Friend of mine is buying this from me - Her and her Mother and her Sister lived in my town while I was growing up.  I got all of her Mother's Stitching Stuff after her Mom passed away including some Beautiful Round Metal Tins that she always kept her Sewing stuff in. She did Counted Cross Stitch as well.  She would take the Empty Sewing Thread Spools and she would wrap her DMC Threads around those empty Thread Spools.  What A Clever Idea.  My friend use to be a School Teacher and she taught ABC to her class.  I miss her Mom so much.  We were all great friends.  Her daughter is the one that is buying this project from me.  We are still close to one another.  

It has been very extremely Hot Humid out where I live.  We have been getting storms a lot lately.  We are suppose to be getting some this afternoon. We shall see.  

I have been staying in for the most part out of the Hot Weather.  It got clear up to 105 Degrees F the other day.  That was way too hot.  

That is all for now...

God Bless You

One Strand of Thread for Back Stitching

This is my Oldest Project that I have been working on lately.  I am going to get this one finished.  This is my second Challenging Project that I have worked on since I started doing Counted Cross Stitch which was long long long time ago - back in the 80's.  Maybe in the 70's.  This project takes lots of Concentration and lots of Counting.  Right now I am stitching the one outside border on the left.  There are two Outside Borders that goes all the way around the entire piece.  I got the one Border done on the left.  I love working on this but you have to take your time with this and you really need to concentrate on this as you are stitching on this.  This is Out Of Print Pattern.  I bought this long long time ago.  It is a very pretty pattern to stitch.  I am almost done with this.  I am so glad too.  

The Tornado did not come through...we got lots of Wind and Rain but that was about it.  We had a Major Dust Storm come through the other day.  It was horrible.  Today we are getting lots of Rain and Wind and it is cold out.  I spent the entire day yesterday mowing my entire yard.  I have a very huge back yard and it takes a whole day to get it mowed.  I have a Battery Operated Lawn Mower.  When I had to charge up the Battery that is when I would take my Breaks from mowing.  My Front Yard is small.  I wish my Back Yard was small too but it isn't.  I am living in 200 some year old house that I grew up in and I am still sleeping in the same bedroom that I slept in when I was a little girl.  I will just die in my bedroom.  I love my bedroom.  Its nothing big or fancy but it is my bedroom that I have always slept in all of my life.  I have a Enclosed Front Porch and a Enclosed Back Porch.  Buttercup spends a lot of time on the Front Porch looking out the big tall wide windows and talking to his Birdie Friends.  My House has been remodeled 5 different times since I was little.  

I am taking it easy this week - Stitching and Reading.  I am reading A Promise Kept by Jo Ann Brown.  This is a very light Amish Romance Book.  It is really good.  I love this book.  

Who knows I just may pull out a project that I have not stitch on for a while.  You just never know about me.  

The Mixture that I posted the last time to get rid Of Moles it does work like for Gophers as well too.  I am not sure about any other animals.  

Thank You for all of your comments on my last post.  I really appreciate them very much. 

Take Care & Happy Stitching

God Bless You

Love & Prayers
