Slow Sunday Stitching

Welcome to the regular weekly practice of relaxing with some hand stitching! We encourage you to join us... all you have to do is take a deep breath, find your hand stitching project and put in some stitches.

I have been attending some of the events at the Lindy Stitches Harvest Moon online event. It has been fun to meet new stitching friends and chat with old friends. I did buy a couple of new patterns that were irresistible, and will continue to attend today to see the interview with Amie of Lola Crow Designs.

During the event I was madly trying to finish up the gift I was making for my grandbaby's first birthday party. And I'm very happy to say I finished it in time for the party! I blurred out the personal details, but you can see the lovely design by Silver Creek Samplers. This was the perfect gift for celebrating the the miracle our family has received in this new life!

This is what the back of the tiny wallhanging looks like - little triangles in the top 2 corners to hold the wooden dowel, and a little triangle label with star charm stitched on in the bottom corner. I was hand stitching the binding at the last minute of course!

And here's the birthday boy! He loved eating his little cake made especially for him by his Mom. Everything about his party was delightful, from the gorgeous fall weather, to meeting with friends and family to celebrate the joy of having this wonderful addition to the family. Such a blessing!

This was the best photo I could get of the 3 second cousins together at the party - it was total chaos and so much fun to have them together! We have a red head, a brunette, and a blond - we never mix them up! And of course Max the granddog has to get in the photo too!

So today I will be relaxing, attending Harvest Moon and doing some hand stitching on one of my many ongoing projects!
