Let me just say, I love July!
July 4th is one of my favorite holidays - I love being at ball games and hearing the National Anthem being played this month.
July also starts to slow down at our house - well, a little bit. The boys are only playing baseball on the weekends which frees me up just a little bit to catch up on things.
Over Christmas vacation I started stitching The Prairie Schooler Santa collections. I only have 8 done to this point, but decided to put the backing on them this afternoon.
I am going to be SO happy come December that I have these 8 done. Maybe I can get a few more stitched before it's time to decorate for Christmas.
I chose to do the envelope method of backing - when you are done there's no stitching the opening closed.

Put my Kindred Spirits piece in its frame last night. So happy I could save this piece.

I think I'm losing it! I shared with you the wonderful Flosses by The Gentle Art....
well, guess what I found while digging through my stitching baskets today?
A floss kit for the pattern I'm currently stitching ......Autumn on Marigold Lane. I had purchased this sometime during the winter and didn't need to purchase it again! I'll need to find more patterns to stitch with these lovely flosses.
Have a great weekend! I'm off with our oldest son for a weekend Tournament in Indiana, Dad/Coach and the youngest son will be staying home for a 12U tournament our baseball association puts on.
