Sampler September Update

I have a start on Hannah Pepper.

Since I started stitching I did change a few colors.  

I dulled down the red from the first one I had picked.  

First a picture of Buster laying on my thread.  

I may have posted one last week but, the look on his face is so funny!

This isn't the best picture.  

I started with 40 count Burch Newcastle linen that I decided was too light.  

I dyed it with some tan Rit dye  

The strip is the original color and the background fabric is the new and improved fabric.  

Here is the start.  

This is closer to the color my fabric is now.  

Overall, I am now happy with the floss colors.  

I was talking to my sister on Thursday and sitting on my patio.  

I had these butterflies flitting around ny marigolds. 

Henry was stalking them.  

They look like a cross between a butterfly and moth,

I kind of has a fuzzy body.  

I did a little research and its a Painted Lady Butterfly and apparently one of the most common butterflies in the world

Painted Lady Butterfly Information.

I read they can fly 30 MPH and 100 miles.  

I have never seen them before in my garden.  

Bob and Henry went bird hunting on Saturday.  

Henry was waiting for Bob to come upstairs.

He was sitting so funny on the stairs.  

They had a good time  

Henry flushed several birds and Bob shot one.  

I got a lot done around here while they were gone.  

Hope you had a great weekend

The weather is turning cooler and more fall like.  

Have a super week!

Keep Stitching!
