A Stitching Update and stuff

It's still 10 degrees hotter than Hades here in the desert Southwest. I can't wait for the cooler weather of Fall but don't think it's ever going to get here. Tracy and I are going to brave the heat tonight for "Date Night". There is a seafood restaurant we've never been to we want to try and maybe even a stop off at Starbucks for a Frappicino (date night is not complete without a visit to Starbucks).

With all this heat I've become a shut-in with lots of sleeping and stitching. Last week I finished two ornaments and started another.

Finishes....

"Partridge in a Pear Tree" by Glory Bee

from the 2010 JCS Ornament Preview Issue

stitched on 32 count Linen with DMC

This was a quick one to stitch and lots of fun to do. It's small, only a little over 2x2". I hope they have a cute companion for it in the ornament issue due out later this year.

"Red House in Winter" by LHN

stitched on 28 ct Creme Cashel with

DMC and Crescent Colours

I love the housed done by LHN and this is one of my favorites. I probably should have used a darker fabric so the white would have shown up better but I do like it as is. I have all but the last two releases and still need to stitch most of them. I hope to get caught up with them by mid-Aug but don't hold me to that date LOL

WIP....

"Pear Tree" by LHN

Of course with a finish I get a new start! This is the second in the series of Ornaments of the Month and I LOVE it! If we aren't out too late tonight I should have it finished by the weekend and then on the next one. I still need to get to the LNS for some beads and buttons and also for the charts I don't have yet.

Time to get close to the a/c again before I melt.

Until Next Time.....Happy Stitching and hope you are keeping cool
