simple

A little reminder to myself - to try and keep it that way. Simple.

a few hexagons

Pale blue grandma's flower garden hexagons on the mostly white panel. They add a little organization to the mix. I am thinking there may be a few sunflower ones soon, maybe even begin a second panel to eventually live alongside this first one.

My boys are back in school and I am still getting my footing. I have been busy with freelance, which has been nice. Working on a rhythm of it all to allow for all that I want and need to get done.

the mostly white panel

This panel is my sketchbook (stitchbook?) for catching all that has come of Jude's What If Diaries class. I thought I was going to start a new panel (page), but I will keep stitching on this one a bit longer.

summer begins

I set aside some time this afternoon to really feel the quiet. At our house, summer begins tomorrow - the last day of school. I am looking forward to the daily company of my two sweet boys, and the pup is going to love having them home to play.

Things have a way of getting busy in the summer, even though in many ways we are slowing down.

I have plans to keep on stitching but I might not be posting here very often for the next few months. Thanks to all who continue to check in here.

opening... in green.

white and gray

I am completely enjoying being part of Jude Hill's current online class experience. We have been talking a lot about white. Rusty wheels are turning and there have been lots of little experiments.

I think I am developing a thing for gray - and just as everything is beginning to turn green.

sea

Sorting through some seashell memories from a wonderful trip and settling into being home again. Warm weather seems to have followed us back so for at least today - it will be an easy transition.

snowflake

These snowflakes would normally have been put away with the Christmas decorations. I like to imagine this small oversight may be why we have had so much snow. I climbed up on a chair and took them down today.
