Rise and Shine, Sunshine! Are you ready to hit the floor running? I sure am though I am not sure what all I will get into today other than continue working on the Summer Stamp SAL.
Today I am sharing Stamp 3 called " Summertime Treat". A sassy little crow is ready for a hot summer's day with a couple of fresh picked juicy, ripe cherries and a big slice of watermelon. Yum! Yum!

Summertime Treat was stitched with the following DMC colors: Blanc, 223, 310, 782, 815, 930, 3345, and 3346.
I used 1 strand of DMC 3346 to backstitch the cherry stem.
On the large sampler, I used 1 strand of DMC 223 to outline the tablecloth so that it would stand out on the Rit Lemon Yellow dyed Aida.

If you are interested in how I dyed my 14 count Aida, I shared the process in a post last week entitled Let's Dye Some Fabric

ReplyDeleteAm here to appreciate Dr Oliha for using his herbal medicine to cure my Herpes virus. since 4years now I have been living with this virus and it has been giving me challenges, I was so perplexed cause i have been taking several drugs to be cured but all of my effort was in vain,one morning i was browsing through the internet then i saw several testimonies about Dr. Oliha curing people from Herpes virus and immediately i contacted Dr. Oliha on his email: oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com , i told him about my troubles and he told me that i must be cured, gave me some instructions and which i rightly followed. so he prepared a herbal medicine for me and sent it to me which i used for 2 weeks and everything was like a dream to me and my Herpes virus was totally gone, why don't you contact him today and be free from your diseases because he is very good and honest Doctor. contact him via email; oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com or whatsApp him on +2349038382931
