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!
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!

Happy Mother's Day, Kathy! Your May Maynia sounds like fun, and I love the sweet project that you shared. Have a wonderful day!
Happy Mother's Day! Looks like you've gotten a good start on your newest project. Enjoy your slow stitching time. Another finish in the works is it's own Mother's Day gift.
Happy Mother’s Day to you too! Your little under the sea project is really cute! Pretty threads…
We had a Robin’s nest on our laundry room window sill one year when my daughter was little. It was fun to watch the whole process from nest building to baby birds fledging.
How wonderful that you can see the little robins up close! I hope they stay safe.
i loved your post, wish I could feel those threads and agree to splurge for yourself. I would be watching the growing chicks... I watch nests online now and then, peaceful. Natural. Life.

Oh! May Mania is new to me, but sounds like fun. I think I'll join in, though I'm a bit late to the party. Just yesterday we were noticing a nest in our tree out front. I do hope our Kitty stays away from it. Happy Stitching to you!
