The second finish is designed by Esub Rosa and is simply called Summer Pincushion.
This will be a pincushion once I get a finishing day underway.
I haven't had much time for anything other than the smalls this month. I will post a progess report on my larger WIP at the end of the week. Hopefully I'll have added to them by then. Vacation has taken up most of my time this month. We visited our beloved Muskoka region for the first time in two years. We didn't book our usual cottage because it's on an island and we weren't sure how well I'd be able to get in and out of the boat with my new knee and hip. However the new joints performed admirably and we hope to return to the island next year. Instead we booked a cottage in the Torrance region on Lake Muskoka.
Here a just a few pics of our lakeside visit.

There's a seat by the lake just waiting for you!
See you all soon!
Your summer smalls are beautiful, and I love that lakeside cottage! happy summer days♥
