A Rainy Day and Stitching Go Together

It's a rainy day so I can't work out in the yard...

and boy does our yard need work...

but with a little care it's starting to look real nice.

I can't wait to plant some flowers but...

they are talking snow tonight...

yes I said SNOW!

Now I know inpatients don't like snow!

I've been planting the same flowers in the same color for about 10 years...

hot pinks and white.

This year I'm changing my color pallet to...

red and purple with yellow and white.

I already bought some flowers...

red geraniums and little purple wave petunias

but I'm keeping them inside until we get some better weather.

Meanwhile...

I just can't stop stitching...I think it's the perfect craft to do when waiting for Jack to finish up baseball practice or lacrosse practice or piano lesson...yes, our spring is full of activities.
I thought I would try something new...
all the stitching is in soft white...
I like it...
it gives the penny rug a fresh more summery look.

I'm always getting ready for fall...I can't believe I just said the "f" word when we haven't even seen summer yet.

But I love sunflowers and fall is my favorite season...

I thought I would make a larger penny rug in my favorite penny rug color...

lime green...

I think it needs something in the middle...

or maybe not when you put something on top it will look perfect.

Enjoy your day,

Leanne

So I'm on this diet...

but I haven't lost any weight. Enjoy the laugh!

Olympic Rings Penny Rugs

I've been stitching while watching the Olympics. I wanted to put some of my new penny rugs on ebay and when I was taking pictures I thought... Hey! I have all the colors of the Olympic Rings!
I've been watching the Olympics almost every night so I'm getting a lot of stitching done.

Enjoy your day,

Still Hand Stitching Penny Rugs

I'm still stitching penny rugs.I really like sitting at night and stitching but to tell you the truth...
my fingers are a little tender from not wearing a thimble.

I would really love to be sewing on my machine but it's in the shop...for 3 weeks. I have some dolls all ready to be sewn and I bought a few new doll patterns that I can't wait to try out.

So as my machine sits in the shop I will look at all the fabric sitting, waiting, longing the be sewn into some cute little dress for a raggedy doll.
Back to my stitching...
or maybe knitting...
or maybe I'll rip the wallpaper down from my kitchen...

Happy Super Bowl Day!

The Super Bowl of Snacks and Pizza that is...I know I showed this picture before but it's the perfect "Snack Bowl" for the Super Bowl.

Enjoy the game

and

the snacks!

You know this would be a better Super Bowl if the Green Bay Packers were in it...

they'll be there next year!

What You Looking At?

Isn't that the perfect title for this picture?

We have a small patch of woods in the back of our yard and the deer come to visit once in a while. I think they come all year long but I only notice them when there is snow on the ground.

Yesterday morning we had a fresh inch of snow with on and off snow all day long. I'm thinking of spring but the snow was so beautiful I couldn't stop looking out the windows.

What's that? We had 6 deer in the yard yesterday but only three came up on top of the hill.
I love watching the deer.

I hope they're eating the weeds...I really need help with the weeds.

By the time the school bus came they were gone.

Have a peaceful day,

Leanne
