Strawberry Sachet - My Farmhouse Hydrangeas...

Brynwood Needleworks - Strawberry Sachet "Farmhouse Hydrangeas"

 

Over all the time I've been making these, I've never made and kept one for myself. Now, I finally have one for myself. 

I still have enough of this fabric to make a few more, so if someone would like to request one similar to this one, just let me know. However, this exact one will be staying here in my studio. 

 

 

I hope you had a great weekend. We spent yesterday with Granddaughter #2 and her family to celebrate her thirteenth Birthday. It was something this Grandma and Grandpa really needed. We hadn't seen them since March! Next weekend is her older sister's Birthday, so we've already made plans to see them again. We're already looking forward to it.

I'm baking a couple of loaves of bread today. I'm called for jury duty tomorrow, so I want to make sure Handsome has bread for sandwiches this week. Don't worry. Two loaves won't be overdoing it for me. I'm still behaving and taking it easy.

Tag will be back tomorrow. He's got some cute pictures to share with you, and I'm sure he'll spin his usual snarky yarn to go along with it. That's how he rolls, you know. I'll see you again on Wednesday.

More Progress...

Brynwood Needleworks - Working On My Farmhouse Hydrangeas

I had a wonderful visit with Kathy D. yesterday. She brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers, freshly picked from her gardens, along with my Wool Box from Primitive Gatherings. We sat on the porch and enjoyed the perfect weather, chatting as the hummingbirds buzzed in and out of the feeders.

Kathy got a chance to meet Carly - who surprisingly was a little shy. We let Bella out onto the porch, and Carly immediately got brave. (If it's okay for Mama, it's okay for me, right?) It was really sweet. Of course, then they wanted to wrestle around under Kathy's feet, so they got shooed back into the house so we could visit, unaccosted.

Brynwood Needleworks - My Stitching Setup

After Kathy left, I sat down to stitch again for a little while. I finished all my work on the blossoms, and then went back to read from my Royal School of Needlework Essential Stitch Guides for Stumpwork and Silk Shading. I purchased these when I was taking my classes in Lexington, and I frequently reference them. 

I'll be continuing my progress on this one until it's finished today, so I'll be able to show it to you on Monday. 

Tomorrow is Granddaughter #2's Birthday. Grandpa and I are hoping to see her today to give her her Birthday gift. It's hard to believe she's already a teenager. Gosh. It seems like only yesterday that she was born! Time sure flies.

I hope you have a restful and creative weekend. Take care, be safe, and stay healthy, dear friends. I'll chat with you again soon.

Happy August!!
