Stitching & Stash Acquired for May

May was a complicated month out there in the real life world. My husband (Brian) had gallbladder removal surgery. Someone shot our van window out with what I assume was an Airsoft or BB gun while we were going down the road near our house. Lucas turned 20-years-old 😮 We’re getting ready for graduation coming up in a few weeks, Noah graduates this year and then next year only Ethan will be high school. In February all of my kids will be adults ~ I suddenly feel a little old.

Surprisingly, I managed to get a little bit of stitching done here and there throughout the month, even with weird weather and humidity making my knuckles angry.


Stitching progress:

I know this looks like an empty rectangle, but it’s actually the outline for one of my Blackwork Bookmark models. I’m not sure that I like this fabric, though, so I might start over. Patterns are available in the new Pattern Shop

I picked up the May Thread of the Month pack from Ship’s Manor plus a Little Orphan Fabric and some of the cool new Bamboo Thread, which I can’t wait to try out 🙂
