Hello Friends. I am behind on blog reading again haha. No surprise there. I hope to catch up soon.
Let's see what fun I had stitching last week...
Monday is the new release of the Blackwork SAL. Only 7 more *pout pout*...
Tuesday and Wednesday I worked on a finally finished the May Year of Celebrations Season 2 piece...
from Hands on Design
Stitched on 32ct Dark Cobblestone Lugana
Using Suggested Classic Colorworks Threads
Started May 10th. Took 6 Days
Simple Treasures a Dimensions Kit
Like I said in one of my vacation posts. I found this at a tiny yarn shop in OBX North Carolina. I had wanted this one for years. Then with losing mom honestly I took it off my wishlist on 123stitch. I haven't worked on a beach themed one since losing her. But....seeing this in the store. After the sweet lady said I was the first customer of the day at 1:30 in the afternoon. I paid double the price from 123stitch. I had to have it. We do take time to enjoy life's simple treasures. We loved our trip. So I will stitch this in honor of all those wonderful times at the wonderful ocean. Thursday I got started. This weekend was IHSW so I made every excuse I could to stitch haha. Even after a busy busy day Saturday getting the campground ready for the season.
I had this piece of 36ct Fabric Flair Bahama Blue fabric in my stash. I love it. The 3rd photo shows a bit better how dark it is. I love it! It's a typical Dimensions kit. 1 strand here. 2 strands here. Half stitch. Cross Stitch. But when I look at it I love the way it looks.
I'm off. Lots to do for this weekend's holiday time. We have several friends coming to enjoy our beautiful campground. Have a wonderful week. Love yourself. Smile. Enjoy the simple treasures.

Your new beach stitch will be so meaningful to you, Katie! I love how our stitching brings back special memories of people, places, and events. The fabric is lovely, too. Your weekend with friends sounds like a lot of fun! Happy Memorial Day ♥
Well done on keeping up with the blackwork SAL!
That kit was obviously meant to be for you, it’s looking lovely already.
