Prairie Schooler Santa & more

 The 2017 Prairie schooler santa.

The simplicity and elegance of the

designs just make me smile.

I stitched on a random linen.  I left

off the border and north pole.  I

added a silver compass charm

instead of stitching it.  I added

gold petite treasure braid on the collar

This piece is just a delightful piece

 I found three polar bears that will be

used in a display at christmas

 I stitched three pieces from the

book: Sea, sand and cross stitch by

Anna Field.  Thank you Andrea

for your post about this book.  I just

love the ocean and these designs.

 Finished on a wooden star.

I attached it with magnets

This piece is just a delight

and can be displayed in

my Americana bedroom

as well as my sunroom which

has a beach theme.

 Simple but beautifully framed.

 The garden is still producing a lot

of produce.  I make fresh V8

juices in my juicer.

 At one of the parks i walk in

 This golden finch was eating from 

the sunflower and i was able to get a

picture.

I havent had blueberry crepes in almost

two years.  absolutely delicious, with 

fresh lemon curd.

I cannot get over that we are in August.

I have noticed it getting darker earlier,  bahhh.

I am not a winter person, but i stitch the

most in the winter.

I hope everyone is enjoying this summer

I have fall thoughts on my mind and

cannot believe I will be in my house in

september for one year.  It seems time

is going so fast.

If you want to see more up close details on my pieces,

you can watch my youtube video under

Cindy's cross stitch #17.

Until we meet again, happy stitching everyone.
