What Was I Thinking?

Fabric is finally coming in and what was I thinking ?
The one on the left is Seraphim Bees Knees - a winner
Next the green is Edinbugh Agave--What was I thinking?
The one on the Right is Edinbugh Wren- a winner

The one below not above is Vintage Country Mocha
I don't know what I'm going to use that green for....what was I thinking?
I may end up grunging it a little, who knows.  
Maybe the right pattern will come around and BOOM! It's perfect.  
Just never know.  
I also got some 40 count, Seraphim 40 ct Tobias and Weeks 40 ct Cocoa, both winners.  
So the question again "What was I thinking about the Agave."

Some of the flosses I got for projects or to substitute in a project.  
Can't always get  the exact color so I have taken to subbing colors I think may work.  
Took a drive to Green Bay last Saturday with my son just to get out of town for a few hours.  
I stopped at the stitching Bee because I had a copy of  WTN&T Hannah Ann Wallace waiting for me from the expo.  
After the Bee, I dropped him off at Barnes and Noble and I went to Hobby Lobby with a list of frame sizes and a few other things I missed the last time I was at one.  
He was thrilled to be able to spend time at a bookstore.  We lost our bookstore probably five years ago.  
We had lunch at Panera and stopped at an organic food store and headed home. 
It was great to spend time with him, talking all the way there and back.  
Haven't had quality time like that in a long time.  
Picked up Sweet Summer, Come Again....buy all the Blackbirds you know and  La-D-Da a
Murder of Crows....love the name.  I think it will be a super fun stitch.   
 

Finally, our Sand Cherry bush is blooming and I love it!
The leaves are a burgundy and the flowers are such a pretty pink!


 Things have been hectic around here and busy at work.  I am basically doing five days work in four days.  I love having my Thursday's off and don't really want to work it but, wonder at times if its worth it.  We just need more help in every area.  


Really looking forward to Memorial Day weekend and an extra day off.  I'm sure it will be jammed packed with gardening.  

Been working on Scarlet House Little Deeds and will have an update on Sunday, hopefully.  

Have a great end to your week.  Stay safe!  Even though I, Bob and the kids are fully vaccinated, don't know how I feel about being out in public without a mask.  

Keep on Stitching
Monica

  1. That cherry is beautiful!! You are getting a great stash of fabric. If I get to a stitch shop when I visit my sister, I will be getting a few myself. Sounds like you had some good quality time with your son!

  2. Great stash!
    I think that green fabric is gorgeous.
    You will find something in your stash to stitch on it, I'm sure.
    What a gorgeous bush.
    Have a great weekend!

  3. Lovely stash additions! I actually like that Agave... I'm thinking either an all white/cream quaker would look nice on it, or Scarlett House has a sampler Entwined Hearts (recently released) that is stitched on red linen.... might look good on green linen?

  4. Lovely fabrics! You could stitch one of Liz Mathews' trees on the Agave or perhaps a Quaker with cream thread. It sounds like you had a wonderful outing with your son. Happy weekend, Monica!
