As you can see, my posting date has slid from Sunday to Tuesday! It's so easy. One day just rolls into the next. When the sun is shining I'm out in the garden. Now when it's raining I've started another big project - the Great Garage Clear Out and Tidy 2012! It's one of those things we've turned a blind eye (or two or four!) to for quite awhile but we got a good start at it yesterday.
In the meantime, stitching is sporadic. Here is my progress on Nellie's Garden Revisited, by Homespun Samplar. The border meets! I just have to finish the red flowers at the bottom and I can declare the border done!
Here are some columbines still blooming in my garden.
If you are still interested in being part of the "Collectables Blog Hop" on June 3, please leave a comment. You can read more about it on the May 23 post. Thanks to Annette for the catchy title!
We found a heart at the bottom of the pizza box! My DH said we had to take a photo of it! Ain't that cool?
Thanks for visiting. Look into the bottom of your pizza box (or whatever take out) and see what you find next time! Cheerio! Back to the outside I go!

Love the photo of the pizza box! Your garden flowers are gorgeous. Stitching does seem to take a backseat when the weather is nice... your WIP is lovely.

I love Nellie's Garden sampler - so pretty!
I too am not working - I retired last year... And every day - when I first wake up - I go...ok, it is (insert day here) Many times I think Friday is Saturday though!

Saw your older post for your Goode Huswif "Elizbeth Easton" sampler. Great job. I also like the fall colors. Have been hunting this "out of print" pattern for some time now. Would you want to share??
A stitching friend,

Yays for the borders meeting. Your sampler is looking great!

Hearts are the coolest when it turns up in unexpected places :)

I love the pizza box :) I hope that it tasted wonderful too.
Nellie looks great.
The columbine are so beautiful. such great colors.
Have a great week! it is already half over, lol.
Don't you just feel like making a victory lap around the room when a border meets up?! I know I do! LOL! It's looking great!
Your sampler is gorgeous! Woo Hoo that the borders met up:))
Beautiful flowers and stitching! I always breathe a sigh of relief when my borders match up.
Your sampler is going to be stunning! We've already participated in the 2012 clean-up and move it out....and it is exhausting. GOOD LUCK!
Hello
Just been looking at your lovely blog.
Your sampler is beautiful!
Your flower photos are so very pretty!
The heart in the pizza box is so romantic!
Happy stitching!
Beautiful stitching on the sampler - congrats on almost finishing the border.
Wow what a spectacular sampler you've started there. I recall the same feeling when I was unemployed for 3 months many, many, many years ago... that's when I re-discovered stitching!
I just love the colours in this one. Great pics from your garden and the pizza box!
I love the softness of the colors in this piece! And your flowers are so pretty. I love those columbines!
Aww.. I'll bet your husband told them to put that heart at the bottom of the pizza box just for you, Melissa :)
Your hours in the garden are obviously paying off--those flowers are stunning. As is your progress on Nellie's Garden--so glad your border met. That is always a "breath-holding" moment!
Maybe you'll find some treasures in your great garage clean out? Sure hope so--good luck. Just think how happy you'll be when you're all finished up!
Hi Melissa,
Such lovely photos again in your blog! I love, love, love the garden photos, as I am not good in the garden :) And it has been so cold as it's only beginning of June that we don't have many flowers blooming at our yard yet - two to be exact :)
Lovely WIP too! You stitch such beautiful things.
I began my summer holiday yesterday, so I will write you a letter soon :)
Absolument merveilleux ! bisous de FRANCE
Great progress on your sampler. I'm sure it was a relief that the border met! Good luck with your garage clearout. I need to do that with my closets. It's scary in there! lol How cool that there was a heart shape at the bottom of your pizza box. :)
