Slow Sunday Stitching

Hello and welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! You are welcome to join us as a full on participant/party animal or a wallflower/observer. We are happy you are here!

This has been a very full stitching week as I am participating in "May Maynia" which just means starting lots of things and making yourself crazy happy! My plan is to start a new project every week in May. This week's start is a Tiny Modernist design called Midnight Ocean. It is a lovely underwater scene with a whale, jellyfish, coral and tiny little fish.

I am using 4 colours of Cottage Garden threads from Australia and really enjoying them. It is fun to experiment with new products. I like the creative packaging and how easy it is to use the threads and keep them organized. I did not like the price ($48 for 4 threads!) but it was a special treat I bought for myself. We all need treats from time to time!

A treat that Mother Nature has given me is a robin's nest outside my window. It's in a bit of a precarious cedar tree and I am very worried that a squirrel will get them. I just hope this Mother is an experienced nest builder and that the branch will hold the nest safely until the babies can fly away on their own.  I have literally spent hours watching the nest and am amazed at the time the mother bird spends getting worms and feeding the babies.

And speaking of mothers, Happy Mother's Day to all who are celebrating today! Whether you mother the furries, the feathered, the friends, the human children, the community, or the earth... thank you for all your nurturing efforts! I am very thankful for the loving support I have received from the stitching community. Truly it has helped to sustain me through many hard times over the years 💖

I posted yesterday about a quilting finish that I am very proud of - click here to see that post if you missed it.  And today I'll be putting a binding on another quilt so I will have some binding to enjoy in between family time.

What are you hand stitching today? Please share your slow progress with us!
