May Day!

The calendar has turned to May 1rst and a true sign that summer is not far away. But for us here in Southern California, summer has been rolling in for a few days off and on lately. I am not complaining! but of course tonight when I am at the baseball game, it will probably be freezing.

May Day makes me think of flowers, all kinds of flowers that were nutured from the April showers.

like my Spring Cactus! These are different from Christmas Cactus, a different shape to the leaf and the bloom is not the same…actually these close at night as if they are going to sleep and then reopen in the daylight.

I just finished working on the stitch guide for the July/August of Needlepoint Now that has some beautiful silk flowers created on a hat. Makes me want to stitch that canvas!

I love it when she sits like this!

Okay same routine as last weekend… baseball game tonight and then Saturday morning I am off bright and early to see my sistah in black cats, Meredith! I will spend the weekend with her and Alison at A Stitch in Time…and I thank Meredith so very much for giving up her derby weekend to come and stitch with us. So see you next week as the laptop is staying home with the cats.

and until next time…keep on stitching

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. Have fun at the game. I’m watching the Giants/Angels game from home. And have a jolly stitching time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sienna sit like AlleyCat’s pose. Sienna tucks her paws in, usually.
