Progress on Alphabet Soup by The Design Connection - Saturday, May 17, 2025

Alphabet Soup 
The Design Connection
28 Count Ivory Jobelan
2 x 2 Full Cross
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
Linda K, Buttercup
