Lazy day.....

I am giving myself a lazy day. Doing as little as possible. We have 2 busy days Monday and Tuesday.... and hopefully some good news included.

I am so glad the weather .... at least for this week .... is going to be in the low 90's which means the early mornings should be nice enough to sit outside. And that I did this morning. Had my tea and sat to stitch for an hour. My one interruption was the hummingbird that kept hovering about 6 inches from my head and  face and sat for a split second on the edge of my mug of tea! Where are the  pictures you are asking? Well, if you know anything about the hummers, they move very quickly and it was impossible even with my camera at hand. I am asking myself why, but I started another new stitch... I will post about it tomorrow... I just needed wanted a break from Christmas stitching and exchange projects.

Speaking of exchanges.... my partner received the Designer Exchange...
 It is Prairie Schooler from the Faerie Collection. My partner was Lynn from Canada
I choose sunflowers for the flat fold backing.

Now that the weather is a bit cooler over night..... in the 70's, the flowering bushes are once again in bloom...

This Cape Honeysuckle is at least 12 feet high.... as soon as Mr H is well enough I think it will be do for a trim...

This is my most favorite...I just love the tiny purple flowers.

Well, time to watch a Miss Marple and maybe put in a few stitches...
I am so happy to share some time with you. Thank you for the kind thoughts. Have a good day.

My Designer Exchange arrived

After a busy morning out I found this waiting for me...
It is my Designer Exchange from Kathy and Rory.... I love the Prairie Schooler design she chose and the hand towels too.

I am off to work today and tomorrow...so not much stitching can be done. I do have most of next week off with only 2 doctor appointments with Mr H so I plan to stitch and finish up a few pieces.
I leave you with this picture I took just as we were getting ready to go to the doctor's appointment yesterday....
Zoe decided to rest on Mr H's slipper....what a face.
