Good morning, lovely sweet friends and Happy Saturday. Is your weekend off to a bright and delightful start? I sure hope so.
Let me introduce to you the newest addition to the farm.
Bowzer!
Isn't he a cutie patootie? He just appeared one day which means someone dropped him off.
Some of you may remember Petunia the pot belly pig who was dropped off at the bottom of the driveway a couple of years ago.

| Petunia the Pig now lives at another farm. |
Anywhooo... I was not sure about Bowzer when I first met him. But he is very gentle, and his goofy smile soon won me over. He is a porch dog which means he likes to lounge on the porch most of the day and does not venture far . We officially put on a collar the other day so he has a home. 🐶

| Bowzer has a long tongue . He always has his mouth open smiling. 😀 |
Now on to stitchy stuff.
I am making progress on Sunflower Haven which I started earlier this week. Today I will be adding the windows, foundation stones and roof.
 |
| Sunflower Haven is being stitched on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed Aida. |
Home of Faith, Family and Freedom is my newest addition to my neighborhood. I have to admit- it is also a new favorite "house finish".
This patriotic house is surrounded by a vine of red, white and blue flowers.
 |
Small crosses and hearts are scattered throughout.
This home truly speaks to me. What do you think about it? I do hope you like it. It was stitched on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed Aida.

I use only 7 DMC floss colors which include: DMC 221, 610, 730, 732, 746, 844, and 924.
I enjoy stitching houses so much. I feel like I am stitching my dream homes.

QUESTION : Do you have suggestions for "theme" related homes that you would like to see? I always get excited when you give me ideas. 😀❤🤗
Well, Sweeties. I better put on my construction hat and get to roofing my Sunflower Haven house. Soon it will be time to pull out the sunflower and bee decor.
Have a beautiful day.
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
