Nice to be back.

Well, I am back to stitching and have a piece to show you. I have been waiting for my hummingbirds to return from down south and have only seen one so far so I decided to stitch one and that way I can look at it. I do like the way it turned out.
I decided to add some back stitching around the front of the body and the wings to give the hummy more detail. I do like the way it turned out.

 Four very busy men.
We needed a new roof on the garage and these guys did it in one day, they showed up at 8 a.m. and where finished by 5 p.m. They even took away the tiles and nails from the roof. They worked hard all day and they worked together and it was fun to watch them.


I have had a new bird visiting my flower box feeder. She or he flew to the maple tree and I managed get this picture. Looks like we are watching each other. Funny bird. My purple tulips are blooming.

 This is what I got from the kids for Mother's Day this year.
 We have been busy cleaning the canes from in front of the house and Dave has made me a front flower garden.  I planted lily of the valley under the maple tree and this year I have some flowers on them. They are spreading and that's great.


 This is where my cats are resting and I plan to plant some flowers for them, They will never be forgotten.
 I had a couple of potato's that sprouted eyes so I planted them. Growing nicely.
Hope everyone has a great day. Until next time take care hugs to all. xxx

  2. You've certainly been busy! The hummingbird stitch is lovely, and your gardening will bring you bright rewards as they grow. I have no idea the identity of that bird, but he really is handsome!
