Hello Summer :)

It's hard to believe it's June already!

Crazy how time flies.

It seems like the older I get

 the faster everything goes speeding past me!

Or maybe it's just me?

Yesterday was a beautiful 85 degrees here

 so I kidnapped picked up 3 of my grandsons

and took them over to my daughter's house to play in the pool.

On the way home I asked them if they had any fun.

Elijah (8) -  "yes"

Caleb (6) - "I did too"

Gabriel (almost 3) - "yep"

Then Elijah says "but I'm the oldest AND the biggest,

so I had the most fun of all.

Caleb had some fun too,

but not as much as me.....(pause).....

and Gabriel had the least amount of fun. :)

Love these guys!!!!

I just finished this piece called

"Summer Soapbox" by Bent Creek.

I stitched it on 28ct Buttermilk linen

over 2 threads

and I changed some of the thread colors

to what I had on hand that I liked.

This is the first of my new obsession

with seasonal pieces that I can change out.

I used some lightweight canvas gingham to edge it

and ironed on some fusible fleece to add body.

I backed it in simple muslin

and added the bow for hanging.
