WIPocalypse July

Again not alot of stitching got done this month. 

 Summer Sensation I work on in my bedroom.  A little more progress since last month.  Most nights I seem to be reading lately.

Little Fairies at Play.  A few more stitches put in.  Usually on stitch for about an hour on Saturdays on this piece.

This month we are to talk about our oldest WIP and newest WIP.  Well my oldest WIP that I do work on is Little Fairies at Play.  I started this on in November of 2011.

My newest WIP is Freedom by Joan Elliott a kit I purchased on clearance at Hobby Lobby.  I started this one in August of 2015.  Here is the last progress picture I have of it.

Looks like I last worked on it in December 2016.

What do I do with my time if I am not stitching?  Work takes up the biggest chunk  then I did the following in July:

 Marched in the Three Rivers Festival parade carrying the banner for the Motoring Mini's Car Club that my Daughter and Son-In-Law belong to

 Watched my daughter race in an SCCA timed course race.

 My son is also now racing in SCCA.

 My back fence has had 30 years of grapevine growing on it.  Our goal for this summer was to cut it down.  We just have this little bit to go.  We have filled 11 bags so far.  The end is in site.

 Back yard display that is on top of where my tulips grow in the spring.

 Planted lots of flowers in the front yard that I water daily.

And spending time with my father, sister, brother and lots of nieces and nephews.  We have a wedding coming up in November the first of my neices getting married.

I feel that I got to stitch quite a  bit this month.   I finished Garden of Faith Hope and Love.

I then pulled out Summer Sensation to work on.  Before I could get started I had to rip out a flower that was not in the correct spot by one or two stitches.  It took me a week to get it ripped out.  I think I am stitching on 18 ct and I ended up just cutting the stitches out.  Then I could get back to working on it and re-stitched the flower completely.  I will keep working on this project and maybe I will get it finished before the end of the year.

Whenever I had some time to my self and could stitch in the living room I continued to work on page 11 of Little Fairies at Play.

This month we are to talk about and show where we stitch.  I normally stitch in the living room while watching tv.  This area is big enough for me to work on my projects that are in frames - my two HAEDs. 

But since I have gotten married my husband sits in this chair to watch tv because the couch only has two legs and eats people.  A new couch is in the plan.  So I stitch on my HAEDs here when he is at work.  Then I stitch on my other smaller projects in bed while watching tv at night.
