June Smalls

Summer is here and already June is nearing its end. I can't believe how quickly time passes!
July 1 is Canada Day and I'm sadly lacking in small finishes to celebrate this occasion. So with that in mind I stitched a new small and completed the final finishing on two previously stitched pieces. My new piece is a freebie that was offered by Nan Lewis of Threadwork Primitives on the Prim Stitchers Society Facebook group. 


The remaining smalls were all stitched in the last year with the exception of one which was done back in 2012. I finally dug them out of my finished pile and set to work to complete the final finishing. Here are the results:

 Lizzie Kate Land That I Love


Not Forgotten Farms June freebie
and 
Primitive Acorns Flower Pinkeep


These have kept me busy enough this month but I'm happy to see that my pile of finishes is dwindling. 


We've had some lovely repeat visitors to our yard this June. The Cedar Waxwings have returned and have kept us entertained daily as they clean the berries from the neighbour's tree.

 

Unfortunately, one of these beautiful birds tried to fly through our front picture window and didn't make it. I looked out the window when I heard the thud and sadly saw the mate sitting beside the body, keening. It was so sad to see. It was quite some time before he/she left.


It's a lovely summer day here and I'm off for a boat ride shortly. I hope that you enjoy your day wherever you may be!

  15. Your new Canada piece is gorgeous, that fabric is the best you could add to it, I think. Great to see all these Canada pieces finished to celebrate Canada Day today.
