Hexi's and more hexi's

Prepped 64 more hexi's yesterday and now ready to add to the larger quilt. Can you see my beautiful new scissor, just love it!

A New Start!

Started a new project! I want to stitch my very own designed Chatelaine. I am going to use this very large bead in the center. I am just going to stitch what my heart tells me. Named 'My Heart" This will be my cross stitching every Wednesday. Its a stitchalong by @kitschywip. 

Wow a huge thing happened today, me and hubby realized its our 50th anniversary. Time sure goes fast!

Bath time for Coco!

Its a lovely sunny day and we first went for a beach walk which she thoroughly enjoyed! So she needed a wash to get the salty water and sand off. Well here is Coco all wet and rolling in the grass to dry! Bad hair day!

Her hair dried quickly and niw nice and clean. Will need a hair cut to open her view. She is now starting to get used to not having Lucky around and her feisty personality is coming out. 

Projects completed!!!!!

I have always wanted to make one of these, and at last I got a pattern on the net and this is my own adaptation of the strawberry. This is for my daughters Christmas tree. Love to make a tree ornament every year. Now to make mine!

Finished this quilt for my oldest grandson whom turned 21 years old this year. He has a huge collection of John Deere tractors. And is now working and getting paid to work on the tractors.

Just had to color my own Aida and did it with fabric paint and now nicely ironed and ready to stitch!!!

Now onto my next quilt for another grandson. Then I have made a quilt for each 4 grandsons.

My hands are now playing up as this quilt is very heavy and taking some needed rest. Will work on some light stitching for a few days.

We have been through a lots the past few weeks, hubby had a back operation and its been very difficult to keep him busy and then Lucky our dog got sick. Well he sadly had to be put down because of kidney failure and I suspect he had lots of pain. Now hubby is well on the road to recovery and has started a bit of driving. We are so thankful for all the rain we had but it put hubby in a bit of depression and we had to have garden services cut the lawn but they could not because its was too rainy and it seems hubby started to get antsy about it and luckily for me the  garden service arrived and cut the lawn. Now he seems to be able to move more and is going to attempt to cut it himself slowly. He also can't read for long and that also drove me crazy. Thank goodness I have my handwork to keep me sane and an excuse to spend time on all my projects! oh well alls much better and we have now had 2 days sun and he is brightening up Thanks The Lord for carrying us through all this. 

 

Lucky!!

Sadly our black dog Lucky went to doggie heaven this morning. Hy was the softest loving dog we ever had. He loved walking along the beach!
