Bees and Blooms Freebie

 It is another beautiful summer day! And what a delight that you have stopped by for a visit . I am very grateful. Welcome , sweetie pies. Come on in; it is awfully hot and muggy outside. I think the high is supposed to be only in the 80's, but with that humidity, it is stifling .  

The other day I went out to the barn to check the bees. They were buzzing around quite happily. 

The buckwheat is fixing to bloom, but hubby bought some feeders and they are enjoying the extra bit of sugar water. 

Mr. M. who had helped hubby gather bees just harvested 1 gallon of honey. How exciting He said it was a bit bitter for his taste, but his family loved it.

Last night hubby tried a new biscuit recipe ,and boy, were they yuuuummmy!😋😋

               

 There were only two ingredients  2 cups of self rising flour and 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream baked in a cast iron skillet. You know that is going to be good.

 He got the recipe from the Hillbilly Kitchen on Youtube. She has a lot of good ole' southern cooking recipes if you are interested. 

 I have another quick little stitch to share with you probably the last of the bee stitches for the year.  Well, I guess I shouldn't say last, who knows. Lol. This is Bees and Blooms which I stitched last year.

            

 It has been a year, and still I have not found the perfect piece to finish it on, but at least I have it prepared into a round waiting for the next step. I also have it on display - a great reminder to search for something when I go to the thrift store or yard saling. 

It is a small with a design size of 37 x 40. Ya'll know how much I like smalls.  I stitched mine on my usual 14 count tea/coffee dyed aida using what floss supplies I had on hand at the time.  

If you would like to stitch this design, please check out the pdfs below.  Also I would love to see your stitch. You can always tag me on instagram, use #pinkernpunkinquilting, or direct message or email me. I always consider it to be such a honor to see your work whether it is my humble design or another designers. 

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate pdf downloads because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

Thank you again for dropping by, my friends. I think my stitchy chair is calling me along with my  needle and thread.  It is also time for my daily dose of the Andy Griffith show. I never can get enough of Andy, Barney and good ole' Goober 😀👮🚓. As always...

Happy Stitching, ya'll

The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.

Hugs and Stitches!
