I have been busy with family and friend activities. My daughter hosted a July 5th party that was fun.
I have been going to the summer series of the Fort Bend County Youth Rodeo Series in June and July. My granddaughter Anna is doing really well in Pole Bending and Barrels. One more to go and she is in the top 10 hoping to finish in the top 6 for awards. Also, injoyed a stitching retreat in New Braunsfel, TX hosted by Stitches From The Heart , San Antonio(pictures in previous posting).
I have also been stitching and even finished a couple of stitching pieces.

Have a great summer all.

Your stitching is gorgeous! Your friends stocking is so beautiful! Congratulations to Anna, she is working very hard to get to the top. Great update!
Joyce, you certainly have been busy stitching! I love your wreath of birds!! The Robin is precious and I your finish with the blanket stitch and buttons very much.
The stocking is coming along great! Did you start at the bottom and work your way up?
Congrats to Anna, it must be exciting for you to see her ride. Happy Stitching, Mary@stitchingfriendsforever
I love reading about all that you do and all you are working on and have completed. Great accomplishments, Joyce!!! ♥ Cathryn
I love your Button Up Birdies wreath! I stitched all of them, but haven't done anything with them yet. I'm thinking a wall hanging, but I'm not sure.
A lovely selection of stitching as always. Joyce.
You're having a busy summer.
You certainly have been busy! Your finishes look great and nice progress on your other pieces.
Wow, so many wonderful projects! Happy you are having a fun summer.
Glad you were safe from the water entering your home. It looked devastating for those who were in the path of the water.
You look like a prolific stitcher, Joyce, Maybe photographing my WIP would really reveal where I am,. I decided some years ago that I needed to do one project at a time, so have my head in the sand about how many are stil WIP's.
:)
Kay.
