A Finish & New Stash

It's been a great stitching week! I finished Little House Needleworks Cherries thread pack this afternoon.



Earlier in the week, I had a great stash day. 3 orders arrived on the same day!



My new stash:

Just Nan - Lady Scarlet's Secret Garden
Bent Creek - Summer Ewe
Bent Creek - Coin Patriotic
Bent Creek - Smell the Flowers (The Red Thread)
Country Cottage Needleworks - La Boutique
Blackbird Designs - Awake The Dawning Day with fabric and fibers
Crescent Colours - Joshua Tree & Blue Beadboard
1/8 yard cut - 28 Ct. Vintage Country Mocha Cashel
1/8 yard cut - 32 Ct. Magnolia Lakeside Linen
1/8 yard cut - 32 Ct. Lentil Lakeside Linen
28 Ct. Rue Green
28 Ct. Summer Khaki - 2 cuts
28 Ct. Natural Cashel
32 Ct. Natural Belfast

All but one of the cuts of fabric are for Little House Needleworks thread packs, some of the Fruit Series and some of the Scripture Series. I also bought a few gifts, that I didn't take a picture of.

All of my new stitching goodies should keep me busy for quite a bit this summer. I'd love to finish the Fruit series this summer, and with finishing Cherries, I'm half way there. There are a couple of the Scripture Series that I would like to stitch soon. I love the thread colors, and stitching them on Lakeside Linen is going to be fabulous.

I'm hoping for two more finishes by the end of the weekend. I guess I just have to see if I get as much stitching time in the next few days, as I'm hoping for.

May Finishes & June Goals

Plums - Little House Needleworks
Harvest Blessing - Country Cottage Needleworks

WIP:

Sunflower Sampler - Heart In Hand

Books Read:

The Woods - Harlan Coben

June Goals:

The Big Zipper - Bent Creek - 2 sides of the border

I'm so thrilled to have completed all of my May goals! It's seems like it's been a long time since that has happened. I'm hoping that the same thing happens during June. I decided to only put 2 sides of the border on my goals list, since I'm not sure that doing the entire outer border is something that I can do in a month. That's a lot of brown DMC! I put some smaller items on my list, since I figured I could switch off between the 18 count linen that the Zipper uses, and the smaller count linens that the other pieces use. I'd also like to feel like I accomplished somthing during the month.

Here's to hoping that June is a great stitching month!!
