Rainy days and Sunset

After two and a half days of nearly non stop rain we were gifted with a lovely sunset on the last day of August.  The trees look as if they were set afire.

Earlier in the day while dropping packages off at the post office this lovely rather large moth was resting on one of the columns near the entrance.

My friend emailed me this clever picture today so I thought I would share it with you. It was created by a librarian, you read the titles from the top left and onward.

Sunday is for Stitching

These weeks of illness and not being comfortable enough to sit up long enough to do any hand embroidery for awhile I was finally able to sit up and stitch. I think I posted I pulled out an old pattern I had prepped on fabric to stitch.  The pattern was offered free from Crabapple Hill Studios.
Here is the progress I have made.

I used DMC Etoile floss in Blanc, it gives just the right amount of sparkle to the snowman I also used it on the hat pompom.
A few weeks ago I posted the new Spellcaster's Garden fabric line from Crabapple Hill Studios. I was hoping hand embroidery patterns would follow and just as I hoped they are now available, so far I have two, the witches which go so well with the fabric line as do the other patterns which I plan to pick up in the next few days.  I hope to have one of them traced and ready to stitch today or tomorrow.

This is one of the fabrics and the entire collection plus the panel which I posted about recently.

Then from Pearl Louise Designs I purchased these cute little witches to stitch as well. 

I am linking my post to Kathy's Quilts today here is the link to check out what other talented bloggers are slow stitching https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/2020/08/slow-sunday-stitching.html
