I hadn't looked at my blog lately and didn't realize it has been almost 2 weeks since my last posting. Since my last post, I have finished Prairie Schooler N is for Nest and ready to start O is for Owl in the rotation. Next in line though is Yellow House Sampler that I believe is by Praiseworthy. But as I'm setting out on the deck enjoying the weather, I'm not for sure. I'll have to correct myself later if it's wrong because I don't want to go look. I did get it started just a little and will get a picture posted soon. I've making a little more headway on Quaker Christmas.
We finally got our gazebo with the screens on the sides so now I have been setting outside enjoying it. I took Quaker Christmas out last night and set and stitched until it was too dark to see. Today, for the 1st time since the weather turned warm,I took my stitching to work with me and during lunch I went to the park and stitched thru my lunch hour. I decided to stitch on Summer Blue since I'm not making much progress on it, because it has been my Thurs. night stitching piece. So I got a little more done in that hour. After work it was fast food for Steve and I and the he went to work and I went to my stitching group.
Sunday, we went to our youngest daughter and son in laws. She had a box full of daffodils that she had dug up from someone that was getting rid of a large flower bed, so she dug me a bunch too. I'm not sure I can find room for all of them but I will try because they will be so pretty next spring.
I can't wait until tomorrow. Then it's a 3 day weekend. Steve will have to work, as the job he has requires him to work all holidays. While the plant is shutdown for any holiday, he is one of the guys that go in and work on any equipment that needs work that can't be done during production. Next weekend will be our weekend to go camping for the 1st time this year.
This weekend since he will be working, my goal is to finish planting flowers, transplant some and the put mulch down. Then I want to shampoo the carpet in the camper, and get it ready for next weekend.
Our oldest daughter and son in law left for Mexico Tuesday so we are babysitting their dog and cat until next Wed. They have a cat named Cabo and a dashund in a beagle suit puppy named Cloe. She is the same age as Emmie, so they love to get together and play. She is so funny. She really does look like a dashund in a beagle suit. She is built exactly like a dashund but has the coat of a beagle. And occasionally gives out that beagle howl.
Well, I think that's it for tonight. Hopefully I can post some new pics this weekend.
Happy Stitching

Flowers, trees, grass....Allergies!!!!
May has finally come. I love the flowers,the trees have leaves ,birds are singing, and my allergies have gone crazy. My nose is running, eyes itching, coughing, I feel like I can't take a deep breath and I have no energy. Oh, and my ears and throat are itchy. Other than that, I think every thing else is just fine. I have had the windows open to breath the fresh air and hear the birds singing after being cooped up all winter and have been miserable for the last week. The house is now closed back up with the air conditioner on. Not how I would like it but I am feeling alot better today.
Last Friday I thought it was a cold but have now decided it isn't. Yesterday was the worst, I could hardly make it thur work. When I got home I hit the couch for the night.
I haven't stitched much this week, I have an updated picture of Houses of Hawk Run Hollow, house #6.
Sunday is when I usually get most of my stitching done, but this last Sunday I just couldn't get motivated. I was going to start one of my new rotation pieces, Yellow House Sampler, but after trying to get things pulled together, I didn't have a scroll rod set or Q snap to put it on. I have it stitched onto the scroll rods, I just don't have the end bars for it. So I need to have Steve make me a couple. He has done that before, using the orginal end bars as the pattern. A trip to the hardware store for wing nuts and I'm good to go.
I ran by the greenhouse tonight and picked up some perrinals for one of the flower beds. I hope I can get them planted over the weekend.
Here's a simple flower picture from one of my magnolias.
Their pretty much gone now and the bushes have leaved out.
That all for now. I think I'll go stitch on Houses again for tonight.
Happy Stitching,
Deana
