Hugs and Stitches!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. I love and miss you.
Oh, so many beautiful and varied bee motifs, each one more beautiful than the last, simply perfect for summer. I'm really liking these motifs at the moment and am thinking about which one I'd like to stitch for my decorations.

Oh Martina, you are so very kind . Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you enjoy your stitching time . I enjoy stitching bees and sunflowers this time of the year . Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteI found myself smiling as I was reading your post. There are so many fun and colorful things-thank you so much for sharing your talent. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Always fun to visit you. Big, Big Hugs! DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Miss Darlene. I didn't realize I had stitched so many bee pieces in the last few years until I started to look back. My collection is slowly growing. LOL. I hope you are having a good week. It was a rainy day here in the holler. Warm Hugs.
DeleteI'm back!!! LOL I have finished my dogsitting assignment with sweet Toby. Didn't do much needlework, etc due to lighting. Long boring story - LOL It is hotter than blue blazes here and now our monsoon season has started. Now we have high temps with high humidity and possibility of rain. Incredible humidity - ugh- but no rain. I don't go out very often because of the oppressive heat and the a/c in my car is seriously lacking. Unfortunately, the budget is too tight for repairs right now. I will survive and I honestly don't mind not going out much. It bothers other friends that I don't go out, but I much prefer staying home in my little sanctuary. They don't get it, and it seriously bothers them. LOL Take care sweet friend. More hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteOh I was wondering how dog sitting went and if you were able to enjoy any stitching time while on assignment. Hee! Hee! So glad to hear that Toby was a sweetie pie; it makes sitting a whole lot easier. Double ugh on the heat and humidity. I don't blame you for not wanting to go out especially in the oppressive heat and there is nothing wrong with enjoying your sanctuary. It's your happy place . I pretty much stay in the holler except for once a week; it is nice and peaceful here which brings me contentment. Wishing you a fabulous weekend. Big Hugs from the holler
DeleteThere's no possible way this post could BEE any more special, Melisa. What great designs and wonderful ways you've finished them. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
ReplyDeleteAaaw Jocelyn thank you so much; you are always so kind. I am looking forward to pulling some of these stitches out for the summer and working on more. It is bee/ sunflower stitching season for me. Have a blessed day. Hugs.

DeleteLots of buzzing stitcheries in your list. I was reading how the mites are taking a toll on bee populations this year. Fingers crossed they find a way to kill those mites.
