HQAL May 2025

It has been three weeks already, since I last shared progress on this bee embroidery project.

I left off here:

I am happy to share that I have now finished that block!

And the next block is ready to stitch!

HQAL April 2025

Spring has arrived!

I have two big distractions…sunshine and gardening!

Home Flower Garden

Flowers are growing fast now! Lots of flowers!

Home Flower Garden

I am anxiously awaiting for all of those ‘trees’ in front of the garden to suddenly perfume the air with loads of pink, purple, and white lilac blossoms! Lilacs are everywhere here!

I don’t have a photo, but the crabapple is full of pink buds and will open soon, too!

Daffodil

Daffodil

I am slowly spreading daffodil love around here. I have several varieties, and they are all doing well.

I used to have hundreds of tulips, but the rodents have devastated those (grrrrrrrrr). They don’t bother the daffodils, so a new look is happening around here.

Hyacinth

Grape Hyacinth

The critters, big and small, leave the hyacinths alone, too. Yay!

Here is an early lily that I think is very cool, and it appears to be thriving in my garden!

Fritillaria Persica

The peas are up, as well as the carrots, radishes, spinach, onion, a couple of types of lettuce, and the strawberries look great.

Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini are all planted.

I hope y’all had a wonderful Easter! I know that I did! My daughter, and her fam, visited from North Carolina and it was such fun to see them!

Lest you think I have done nothing, stitching-wise, I do have a bit to report.

A very small bit.

Here is where I was:

May OMG Goal 2019 Update

Time to share an update on my May OMG (One Monthly Goal).

I had decided that it was time to get the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project out of the closet and finish up the borders.

I also said that I had issues with piecing the borders and that it was the pattern’s fault.

Ahem.

Turns out, as is often the case when I am involved, my issues were due to operator error.

Somehow the piecing just went together so much better when I took the time to mark and pin.

Go figure.
