Spring is Turning to Summer

 It has been a lovely spring in Vermont. We wish we had more rain for the plants, but it has been nice to be able to be outside on sunny days as much as we have. It has been a hot week here, but nothing too intolerable if you are able to pull up a comfy chair in the shade.

This past week I was able to finish one of the new projects I purchased. In January I got the bug for some beading/cross stitch kits and ordered far too many. I decided to start stitching the Marine Life Series from Mill Hill so I can have a few more "beachy" items in my morning room. I finished the lobster and couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I have started on the Turtle and have made some great progress. I am still working on the perpetual calendar project, but I needed a little break from it.

Meanwhile the puppy continues to grow like crazy. He is an awesome addition to the pack and has really bonded with his big sister Doss who is also new to the pack.



My biggest challenge right now is that my allergies are flaring like crazy so I am very very tired much of the time. This is cutting into my stitching time because I am often just fall asleep in my stitching chair. Not that it is terrible to get some extra sleep! Hopefully the rain this evening will knock some of the pollen down so I can perk up some.
