The Chipmunk Caper

Oh my, just look at this absolutely adorable face! Cute as a button!❤❤❤ Right . But "Beware!" There is a chipmunk on the loose and she wants your threads ! Hee! Hee! 😀 🧵

 Well after entering Colorado, we found the most peaceful delightful camping spot. 

Mr. Pinker maneuvered Big Red and the ole' camper between the trees. " I think we will stay here a few days, " said Mr. Pinker. 

"Fine with me," I replied.  

Each day I was greeted by the most adorable chipmunks or ground squirrels. They kept coming closer and closer. One day , I ran back into the camper to retrieve my camera in order to take some photos of the wildlife.

 This little fella was another visitor. Do you know what kind of "rodent " he is? He is cute too.

 Blue Stellars would perch above us in the trees or flutter down to the rocks nearby.  Every now and then they would chirp away. 

Mr. Pinker and I enjoyed hiking around the area. 

The aspens were just beginning to put on their leaves.

 The view up on the hill was so pretty. 

In the evenings, I worked on my Around the Garden blocks. 

One day, I had my blocks sitting out on the camp table. Being thirsty, I hustled back into the camper for a drink. When I returned , to my  dismay   I encountered  a little chipmunk busy burrowing itself into my thread bag!

"What's in the bag? " ask Miss Chipmunk. 

The hole Miss Chipmunk made in my bag!

 Was this little gal stealing my thread? !  Oh bother! "Not today, dear, " I replied. I shooed the little gal away and quickly gathered my supplies. All my thread was here. Hee! Hee! 

Was Miss Chipmunk curious or did she have an impending project that she needed to work on? Well, I guess I will never know.

Being a little flustered after the visit from Miss Chipmunk , my last flower block was a little wonky, but that is ok. It will remind me of Miss Chipmunk. 

 Sweeties, that is my tale from the  campfire today. Thank you so much for dropping by for a visit. See ya' later! And you have an awesome day yourself. 😘🤗

As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy who loved camping and wildlife as much as I do. Love and miss you, Amo. 

We had salmon patties, black eyed peas and turnip greens for lunch. 

 I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needleworkers to meet.

The Around the Garden blocks are my own design that I am making up as I go. When I get home, I will begin drafting up  the flowers to share in case you want to make some blocks for yourself. Thank you so much for all of the sweet compliments on them.
