It was RR stitchy weekend......

I was really working hard to meet the goals I have set for myself for my RR piece and am almost there. I will post it tomorrow Donna, and send it Priority so that you should have it by the weekend. Here are some snaps of the progress.


Here is a snap of the left side hearts with the last heart containing the start date. Also showing the lower borders stitched.


Here is a close up of the right side showing the ending date with the lower borders finished.

And here is a close up of one of the squirrels. I pulled it from Lakeside lodge, but I changed the colours a bit. The corner leaf and acorn I also pulled from LL. I did change the stitch count and shifted around a couple of stitches to better fit in the corner.

This morning I got a Bear claw instead of my usual coconut donut and it is really almond-licious!!! Just thought I'd throw that in as I sit here typing away.......

Overall it was a great weekend. We had dinner over at Carol and Pats on Saturday. She made some wonderful enchiladas!!!! We even took the hounds as they are always welcome. Her kitty Festus I think has other ideas as to who is welcome and not!!!! She was terrorized by the Peach. As you remember the ferocious Peach.....here she is.....

she was a little barkidy barking baby girl...... so, more loud than ferocious. Sweet Festus out weighs the Peach by a good 5 or more pounds....that could be actual weight or just fluffy fur. You would think the extra girth would help alleviate any trauma, but Festus was still nervous. I will try and get a snap of Festus next time we go over as he is a really lovely kitty.


Thanks for stopping by, and comments are always welcome......

Take care,

edgar

    Your RR is lovely. I plan to do another border/more decoration around mine when it returns in months to come. I sent it off to Lesley today
