Weekly Update

The holiday weekend is over and I hope all of you had a great 4th of July. My daughter and grandkids went on a vacation to Georgia, so I stayed inside and enjoyed 4 days of stitching and taking it easy. I watched the fireworks, New York and Houston, on TV. They were neat as always. I did make some progress on my WIPs. Here are my pictures of my progress.

Weekly Updated Blog

This past week, we have had our summer rain storms and hot weather here in Texas. I stitched a lot it seems this week and also finished a couple of items that were waiting for me to finish.
Granddaughter , Anna, went to church camp this past week. Our First United Methodist church camp , Lakeview, is in Palestine, TX and holds a lot of memories for me. I went there in the 50's, my daughter went in the 70s and now both Christopher and Anna, (grandkids) have gone.
I have stitched the first three months of the flower series by Ellen Maurer Stroh and thought I would use them on a birthday calendar. Instead I saw a pillow with an piece put on it that I really liked, so I tried it.

I also finished the Hallelujah ornament by Littlehouse Needleworks last week and now have made it into an ornament.

Also, finished stitched the letter "F" of the Stitcher's Alphabet by Brooks Books. I am stitching them on an afghan.

Here are the WIP's I stitched on this past week;

Update

What a great week I have had. My granddaughter, Anna(14) competed in her first big rodeo. She rode in the Youth Rodeo finals in Gonzales, TX. She finished 6th for the year in Pole Bending and won her first buckle. There were over 200 young people riding in the rodeo. She has only been riding a little over 2 years. She also got to carry the American flag in one of the Grand Entry parades, a great honor. Here are my favorite pictures. It was so much fun to watch all the young girls and boys compete. Of I had to have a picture with Anna.

 A very proud MOM
