SUNDAY TO SUNDAY

It seems that I am about a week behind in a post--
except for the 'WHAT' post mid week????

So lets see--
Last Sunday's Inchy was--

I do love watching and enjoying nature--
especially in the mornings while I am stitching at the window--
That Sunday--
I ended up with 5--yep--5 squirrels came to check out the 'vittles'!!!

I think the 5th one at this time is running up and down the tree!!!

Monday--
we got our 3rd block for the Christmas in July

stitch along from Joy's site--
and I got it stitched up--

block 2 was--

and block 1 was--

I had a spool of thin silver Metallica thread that I used for the outline of the ornament--
these were easy, fast and fun to do--
tomorrow we will get the finishing instructions!!
Thanks Joy--daysfilledwithjoy.com

Tuesday--
is Anne's day--
and we did go out to lunch--

this small diner has been open for many years--
the one son and his wife run it now--

and here is the quilt top Anne brought me for 'show and tell'--

those in the middle are some I made and gave her--
in the evening we had a nice thunder storm!!!

And we can remember what---
Wednesday's Inchy is--

a couple other things happened on Wednesday--
that also made me say--What??????

Thursday--
I got to met a new friend--

Violet is a 4 month old doxie pup--
and belongs to Anne's daughter Kim--
Kim has a small shop here in downtown (seamstress)
so I stopped in to see her--one very sweet dog!!
then I went on to the yarn shop for a bit and visited with Sue--

Friday--
Inchy--

does this look like a ring???

hopefully--
this ring is my favorite ring I have ever owned--
and I used to wear it every single day--
but somewhere along the line I had stopped wearing it--
I was going through my small bag of jewelry on Friday and found it--
so have it out for now--
I got this ring many years ago--early 80's maybe even late 70's at a rummage sale
for---25 cents (also got a couple others) all have solid gold bands and it might even be
an actual sapphire  stone--??????

Now Saturday--
I had a wonderful surprise--
I was sitting at the table watching out the window while --trying--to stitch--
and I had a lovely visitor--

fly in and get some nectar from 4 tiny red blooms on my one plant--

and quick as a wink--I got 3 photos of her before she flew off--
she did not come to the window feeder--
and this plant doesn't have a lot of blooms--
so you can bet on what I will be buying at Walmart tomorrow????

August--
Wood Play--is causing me headaches this time--
it seems I have to keep unstitching everything I stitch in--
First I found this--

can you see where the letters--"wer" are down one set of stitches???
fixed them--

now I was also off about 4-5 stitches when I got the bird on the branch done--
and I could not find out why????
then one day I was moving the stitchery around--
and it just jumped out at me--

The 'm' on bloom---has '3' loops--instead of 2--???????
wonder who did that?????????

so it got fixed--
and the 'beat goes on'--
yep--I did more 'boo's'--but hopefully each time I have caught them--
I am getting down to nearly being done with this one--one or two more stitching times--
and hopefully it will be finished!!!

HAVE A COOL DAY--EAT SOME ICE CREAM OR A POPSICLE!!
