Summer At the Mill House

A wonderful Wednesday to you, sweet friends! 

How has your week been thus far? I hope it has been filled with joy and productivity. Mr. Pinker and I have been busy bees. 

Monday we ran our usual weekly errands - groceries and such. By mid afternoon, I had put on my apron and began bustling about with duster in hand. It is time to change out the decor to fall . 

I am doing the happy hoe down! A new house stitch is completed-  just a little log cabin located on top of a quilted hill. It is called "Summer at the Mill House". 

Large sunflowers are in bloom at the Mill House. Oh bother, there is no scarecrow!   It seems like there are a number of crows at the Mill House as well.  Shoo crows ! Shoo! 

I stitched Summer at the Mill House on 14 count Aida that I coffee/ tea dyed myself. 

Nine  DMC floss colors were used in creating the Mill House which includes: 610, 782, 822, 838, 840,  3011, 3012,  3857, and 3858.

So what do you think? Could you live at Mill House surrounded by gigantic sunflowers and cawing crows? I sure could. 

Well, I better get back to the tasks at hand- cleaning and fall decorating.  The countdown is on- 26 more days until Autumn!  🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Enjoy your day! 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
