My first Mill Hill bead kit

 This is my first Mill Bead kit.

Chickadees.  I purchased the mill Hill

frame but the frame left to much of the

perforated paper.  I trimmed it down to one

row of paper.  I mounted it to sticky 

paper for cross stitch and then glued it to

red Mat Board.  So it has a nice red

trim.  Love the kit and have always 

enjoyed working with beads.

 I belong to the Just another

Button montly club.  This past

month was one of my favorite colors

and free was a chart by Kathy Habermann

of Hands on Designs.  I adore all the

buttons and the fish match the "Seas the

Day" design i recently did.  So cool a matching

set.

 My son Chris came for a visit this

past Labor Day weekend and he 

bought his cross stitch with him.

This is the winter design and he is

almost done.  Looks great.  He is back

in college getting his Masters Degree so

he hasnt been stitching as much.

 These are the Sunflowers in my front yard.

The ones in the back are long gone.

I planted these much later.  I look out

my work window and i have this amazing

view.  The colors were so pretty.  Each

day watching all the birds, bees and even

a humming bird visit the flowers was

so fun to watch.

 Hot peppers all in bloom

A pretty orange butterfly on my Marigold plant.

We are in September and still cannot 

believe Fall is almost here.

September is my favorite month of the year.

Summer is my favorite season.

Happy stitching everyong.
