Sunday Morning Coffee Share

Hello friends and happy Sunday. Come in and share a nice cup of coffee or tea or hot chocolate with me and we will catch up on things.

I think we would talk first about the weather: Our weather yesterday and so far this morning looks perfect. Temps in the mid to high 70s F and sunny and clear. The sky is a beautiful shade of blue. We did have some rain earlier in the week and a lot of clouds. This caused the partial eclipse in our area to be a bit of a flop. But we had the total eclipse here in 2017 so it will be hard to beat that.

What am I reading? I am still reading The Shell Seekers. Because it is a big book, and one that I can’t really take to bed with me, it’s going to take me a while to finish. I like to read before I go to sleep at night. I am also reading Still Life at Eighty by Abigail Thomas. I love her books. I have to say this one is a bit of a downer but I just started it so we will see.

How is work you ask: Well it is absolutely crazy right now. I work in Tourism and we are really gearing up for the season. So much to do before summer. My work load has been a lot with not a lot of down time.

What I am loving: I am loving the flowers that are blooming. The Azaleas are blooming. My Irises are blooming this year. They really didn’t do well last year. I did some research and discovered that they probably needed to be thinned. I did that and gave some to my nephew and his wife. I love spreading them around. These are very special because my mama had them at our house where I grew up. When she passed and we got ready to sell the house I made sure to get some of them.

What projects have I been working on? Well I finally finished the heart cross stitch that I have been working on for years. I started it a few years ago for Valentine’s Day. When I didn’t finish it in time for Valentines, I put it away until the next year. Finally after doing this for a couple years I decided to work on it until I finished it. So that is what I did. I love hearts so much, why just put it out for decoration on Valentine’s Day. I decided that I will keep it out all year.

Finishing the heart cross stitch has made me want to tackle a lot of other unfinished projects.

I had just started the hearts: probably 3 years ago
A little more progress. My Scruffy was still with me then. He always loved to snuggle when I was sewing or knitting.
This is where I finally decided this thing was going to be finished.
I did finish it and washed and pressed it.
And framed it. I love the way it looks.

So what has been happening with you? I think I will wander outside and enjoy this nice sunny weather.

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!

I will be linking up with Natalie the Explorer on #Weekend Coffee Share

  1. Both your irises and heart embroidery are lovely. You chose a nice frame, too. It’s a smart idea to get some of your mom’s irises before the house is sold. Thank you for your weekend coffee share.
