I love seeing you stitch in the garden. My husband did away with the garden after his heart surgery. He is 70 now and a 3 bypass surgery after a stroke, and skin cancer was too much, so I really enjoyed it when I saw you stitching in your beautiful garden as my family loved to do. Your finish is fantastic and your next one is lovely. Thank you for sharing and giving me a joyful time.

[@Simplyinstitches]

I'm so sorry you and your husband have had such a bad time with his health. Yes gardens are a huge blessing but can be a burden if you can't keep on top of them . I do go for the natural look , perfection is too hard to maintain 😁

Oh Tina, my heart jumped with joy when I saw your pop up ! You have a perfectly wonderful spot outdoors. I haven’t seen a monarch butterflies since I was a child. I had the benefit of growing up in the country. Your foxy is adorable, I think he would make a lovely pillow. I have not actually read a book in years, I used to, but now I listen with Audible, so I can be doing other things, however it’s not the same as sitting down to read. Congratulations on your new job, I do hope you enjoy it. Do come back again, no editing needed. Be blessed my friend.

Unfortunately there aren't many butterflies this year . I've noticed on the that bush, it's usually covered. I heard an expert say they are hoping it's just the weather and numbers will be up next year 😟🦋

Did you frame the really large mono colour one - well, variegated but one colour. Your garden s stunning. I laughed when I saw you vacuuming the garden. In my misspent younger days we ‘had’ to vacuum glitter off grass so someone’s husband wouldn’t be upset by our night before shenanigans. There was alcohol involved 🥂. Happy memories 🤪.
