I HAVE BEEN STITCHING.

 This is how BBD - Casting A Spell is coming along!  Fun stitch and I love the colors. Thanks for the comments on my vacation and stitching. I'm now ready to stitch Fall in this Summer heat!  lol

 This is all the squares I have stitched in the BBD - Anniversaries Of The Heart Project. Four is ok.. I have stopped on it for awhile. I have other things I want to stitch.

I did decorate my 4th of July tree today. I have an ornament to add to it. I stitched it last year and never got around to finishing it. I hope to add it to the tree tomorrow.
I have pulled out an old Sekas chart - Watercolor Ghost today. I had started it and never did finish... I'm slowly getting all the WIPs stitched. 
 This is where I stopped on Watercolor Ghost.. I hope to pick it back up tonight and start stitching. I am thinking of doing a quilt like finish for this one. I have a stand, that I think it will look great on.  I do love sekas watercolor designs. I have Dragonflies finished and I have Lighthouses that I will try and finish before summer is over.
If anyone follows me on Pinterest... They know I am pinning everyday. I am a Pinterest addict! I came across this picture the other day on pinterest. I fell in Love with this idea. The use of an Old Iron Trivet.

The picture was pinned from Ebay. A seller by the name magpiejo. She had this great idea!  The first person I thought of, when I seen this was my talented friend Bonnie!  Bonnie comes up with ideas just like this. I still can't get Bonnie to start a blog.. If you belong to The Samplermakers , you have seen some of Bonnie stitching and punching in the picture section!  Just beautiful work! 
Well, guess where I will be tomorrow?  You are right! Out hunting down metal trivets at the flea markets and shops!  lol 
I also have another idea.. My mom gave me an old wash board. I was going to use it for a pump, #2 wash tub, and board fountain. I changed my mind.. I will use it as a piece for the wall in my laundry room.  I just now have to find the right stitching piece to mount on it... I just have all these ideas in my head!!
I hope everyone had a great week!  The weekend is almost here!!
Till later.....

Your patriotic ornaments are great! Your AoTH WIP looks wonderful and so does Halloween!

Great progress on you stitching, April...and I LOVE your Patriotic Tree!!

Now that is an ingenious idea for a finish...and, yes, Bonnie is quite the gifted needlewoman, isn't she! She really does need to start her own blog...I would surely follow her :-)

So glad to see you guys enjoyed your vacation.

Your stitching is really coming along. You have been busy!

Oh I really like that washboard idea. I need to write that one down.

I am a Pinterest addict too!

A washboard with needlework. An excellent idea for a laundry room. I liked your stitching too.
