Happy Friday

DS's coming home from college for the weekend so I've been busy baking cookies today. I also made some bread in the bread maching that I'll slice and freeze in small packets for him to take back to school.

I get to join some of my buddies for a stitching day tomorrow so I'm baking rosemary foccacia for that. Yum! The house smells good. Unfortunately, it's warm and humid so it was hot in the kitchen.

On the stitching front, I started (finally, I've had it in my stash for a long time) LK's Harvest Blessings. Maybe I'll even have it stitched and framed for next Thanksgiving. I also worked some more on my bap. Since I liked the BC Sow Kind Seeds so much, I thought I should start one for myself since I already have the threads pulled for the other one for the exchange.

I have a couple of finishes too...the church from the Town Square freebies (Trilogy) and LHN's Joy to the World ornament. Both were just about finished wips. It sure feels good to finish some!

Small Finish

I stitched this Bent Creek design Sow Kind Seeds for a block exchange in one of my groups. I really like it...which means I'll have to stitch it again for me someday. lol!

I've also been working a bit on my bap sampler (see it in posts below), a freebie church deisgn from a 2006 freebie series called Town Square, and even picked up a wip of CHS Houses of Hawk Run Hollow. I had just a start on it using DMC's and have been debating with myself (funny to watch, I'm sure) whether or not to invest in silks for that design. After seeing another stitcher's one done in DMC's, I finally decided to stay with the DMC's. If I stitch another of the Hawk Runn series, I may go for the silks.

I'm getting overwhelmed with all the stuff I want to stitch and how little time to stitch it all. I'll never be bored. :-)

The weather has really warmed up here. After a bit of cooler than usual temps, now we're having warmer than usual temps in the mid 70's. I like this but dread the really hot and humid weather to come.
