Last Sunday, I was working on the letter ‘I’ while sitting in my lawn chair enjoying the lovely day.

I also completed the letter ‘J’, so I will be stitching the letter ‘K’ today.
I know that it is slow going, but that is okay. After putting in longer hours at work this week, and Sunday being my only day off, I need a slow day!
Maybe you do, too!

Are you slow stitching today? Check out the link up at Slow Sunday Stitching! There are lots of fun projects by like minded stitchers to see!
