It's Our Independence Day

 

A Look at my Stitches

  A few of you asked for photos. The photo showed all one color-red-ugh haha  I decided to use blues for the sky, and then I will decide on greens and browns for the landscape-perhaps try to stitch a mountain with the X's not sure yet.

   I did add a lighter blue within the main blue

    I am not real crazy about the bird on the left but not sure I can match in the X's Any suggestions on what stitch to use for the outlines of the stars, wolf etc?

The photos will enlarge for better viewing-just click on them. 

Hello July

 Wow I still can not wrap my head around how very fast Summer is flying by. 

   The lake was crazy busy all weekend with fireworks around us too. I  think many came out this weekend as so far the 4th looks like more rain storms. We did however, have another severe storm come through again this weekend as well. Our neighbor made it back from boating with about 5 minutes to spare. The skies got black and the lake looked like an ocean with the high waves.

  We are enjoying lots of fresh fruits since my last grocery store visit-melons, cherries, berries, yellow kiwis. 

   Scanning through Facebook I found another Snoopy to share. Snoopy has me smiling

  I am still enjoying watching pro baseball - the KC Royals continue to improve their game and are so fun to watch play.  I grab my embroidery piece while watching the games. This wolf block is mostly those X's, have found a better way to stitch those too. I was stitching each X seperately  as per instructions I found online-but found they come out nicer if I stitch one side of several in a row and then go back to stitch the second line of the X. Stitches up faster too.

  If you celebrate the 4th-any plans??   I will be making us baby back barbecue ribs in the oven, probably make us potato salad along with assorted fruits and hope to have refrigerator space for the lemon meringue pie  Happy July
