Sunday Starts

Its an early Sunday morning.

Guess Tundra thought I needed

 to go to work and he woke me up. LOL

Hello friends.

Today I wanted to share a few more

stitchy starts I have going.

 

This one I had hoped to have finished

by Valentine's Day.

Seems I meant in 2025.  LOL

I only worked on this one for two days thus far.

Day 1 was on January 14th.

This was my pitiful start.

Day 2 I managed to get more accomplished.

Since I  have already added the date of 2024,

 I better finish this one by year end. LOL

Will continue to work on this each 14th of the month.

Stitching this on 32ct Milk & Honey linen,

using all the called for threads.

My next start is this bunny

Spring Gathering

by Scattered Seed Samplers.

I also purchased the companion pattern

called Spring Delivery.

That one arrived last week,

and will be an upcoming stitch this year.

Hopefully it will.

Am using 28 ct Peeps linen

by Seraphim.

Such a springy fabric with pinks and blues.

Even though I am not much of a pink person,

I do love this linen color.

Am using all the called for floss.

It does amaze me though that in the picture

the eggs are pink,

but the called for floss is more of a brown egg color.

Which is fine with me.

The green is also more muted.

Am not so sure about the bunny color though.

I only started this row.

At night it looked like it was going to blend

right in with the basket,

however in the light it is a bit darker.

I did pull a different brownish purple

from my stash.

Here it is to the left next to the brown called for.

Do you think I should change or keep going?

In other news,

Our one day of Summer like temps

last week did cause a tornado to touch

down in the wee hours of the morning

in a town about an hour and a half

northwest of us.

So scary as we did have a bit of hail

that morning when Tundra kept barking

during that thunderstorm the same time 

that tornado touched down.

Bad because it happened in the dark.

By afternoon the cold front came back in

and it was snowing when I left work 

to go home.

How fickle Mother Nature was that day.

We are supposed to have another Summer

like day again tomorrow, so hopefully

no thunderstorms will roll in again like last week.

I spent the majority of my time yesterday

doing a deep clean of my stove and refrigerator.

Both needed my attention.

Along with cleaning and laundry.

I guess Spring cleaning is coming early for me.

Bob and I are invited at the end of the month

to celebrate my sister's FIL's birthday.

He will be a young 100 years of age.

He still lives my himself, although his wife 

passed in 2020.

Larry is a sweet man and I look forward

to celebrating this milestone

 with him and his family whom I have known

for a long time.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

First Sunday In March Blessings To All!
