AS A MAGICIAN....

I pulled this out of the drawer of unfinished projects... Historic Stitches - Sarah Hartley 1827 Sampler. I love the deer on this sampler. I started it a couple of years ago.. I tea stained some 28 count linen.

 I am using DMC thread. My linen is lighter than the color they used for the model. The weeping willow tree is coming along..
It is raining here in Alabama today, so that makes for a great stitching day.

I need to clean my kitchen but, this called my name this morning to finish. I had stitched it last year, but finished it out this morning.  I tried a new finishing idea.  Now that is out of the way.. I still have the Easter Egg Pocket design from WTN&T to finish out. Was stitched last Easter and not finished yet.. 

  This is what Willie Loomis is doing on this rainy day! He looks so rested... He loves the old rocker in the sun room. He got tired of playing with the bow ties on the backs of my chairs.. They are untied for now...
I will close with a picture of BK (Baby Kitty) Some reader have asked about her.  Here she is:

She gets hot with that bushy tail... but, it is hard to get her to come inside. She has found lizards and bugs! We have tail-less lizards running around.  She was sitting looking at a flopping around tail off a salamander the other day.. I asked her where the lizard went to and she just looked up at me with confusion in her eyes... lol
Thank you to all my readers for still reading this blog.  I know I have been slacking lately. Summer just is so busy.. No Excuse, I know...Hope you stay with me to watch updates on Watercolor Ghost, Sarah Hartley, Hornbook Angel and Casting A Spell stitching.   Till later... Kitchen cleaning is calling my name now.
