Today will be a rest and recovery day for me following St. Patrick's Day celebrations yesterday. I usually paint my hair green and have a wee drink or two with my Irish friends. Needless to say, everything I do today will be done s-l-o-w-l-y!
There will be lots of time for slow stitching while I visit with a friend who is staying for the weekend. While chatting I hope to finish the 6th block of Gail Pan's "Send my love" BOM. This block has backstitch, lazy daisy stitch and french knots. The next three block patterns have been sent by email to the "i stitch" group. This month we'll be stitching a flower basket, a sewing machine, and a butterfly. They are so cute and I can't wait to trace them out and get going on them.
What are you hand stitching today? We love to see what you're working on, so link up your blog post below and share your progress with us.

ReplyDeleteI did wear a green shirt yesterday but that is about all I ever do for St. Pat's day and I'm a tiny bit Irish I should do more
ReplyDeleteGreen Hair? A drink or two? You go girl!
ReplyDeleteLove the green hair, and the newest block for the Gail Pan project is cute.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! You paint your hair GREEN?! I dress in my Shamrock Surprise quilted jacket and other articles of appropriately colored clothing, but that's where I draw the line. Looks like you had a fun day!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to celebrate! :)
ReplyDeleteWHAT no green wine!?!?! I am also liking the green hair...you thinking of keeping it?!

Love that little embroidered heart block.
As usual, I love your stitching. I hope you have a good recovery!
ReplyDeleteNo link this week from me. I've lost my mojo somewhere as work and house and yard have (temporarily) taken over my life.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll see you all next week.
Hopefully next week I will be back to my daily slow stitching life :D I love your selfie shot and Gail Pan's stitch along too... hopefully she will do something like this again in the future when I don't have so much on my plate... enjoy your company and have a blessed week!
