Just Can't Show Everything

My blogger has changed and I can't get rid of the underline while I type.  I have tried to remove it but, it won't work  I am annoyed.  I have been working on Christmas presents.  I can't show everything I've been working on.  I have made some progress on Wisdom & Truth by Carriage House Samplings.  I'm using Navy Bean 40 count and threads:  Classic Colorworks Blue Beadboard, Bamboo, GAST Adobe and DMC White, 318, 413, 762, 3011 and 3371.  I think I got this when Kathy Barrick was just going to stop designing cross stitch and  make jewelry.  I didn't want to miss out on some of her designs.  There are others I got at that time.  

Crazy Henry Ford found a nest of doves in the tree a few weeks ago and has been driving us crazy ever since.  He runs to the back door, scratches and when you go to let him in, he runs to the tree, saying, "Come and see my birds."  This goes on all day.  The chicks finally left the nest today so Bob cut the branch off the nest was on to show Henry.  He left the branch for him.  Finally, he is done with the bird shenanighans.  

Come on, come and look everyone.  

I finished my August Christmas ornament challenge from Prairie Schooler Snowy Nights.  I only have two left, I think from the booklet.  Then will finish out the rest of the year from some other PS smalls.  

I took some more pictures of flowers in the garden.  I have an Iphone and the photos it takes are pretty amazing.  I took a picture with Bob's Samsung and they just aren't that good.  

Balloon Flowers.  I wish all of them were the darker purple.  

Heliopsis, type of a sun flower  

The Black eyed Susan.  

Ground rose, starting it's second blooming.  

Overall a pretty calm and peaceful weekend.  I got some stitching done.  Hope yours was too.  

Stay healthy and safe!

Keep on Stitching
