Just to show that i have been creating...here is a stitchery i have been working on from Kaaren's First Friday Freebies.
I finished it last night and started another one. I really enjoy working on these stitcheries...especially in the Summer when its too hot to get under a quilt. I have a hoop stand that sits on the chair, so its small and easy to work with...and easy to pack up with the onslaught of drop-in visitors we seem to get at this time of year.
Flowers are finally starting to bloom, and it is wonderful to be surrounded with color again! Our bees seem to agree...you can see one from our hive enjoying this bright poppy...take a look at all the purple pollen she has stuffed in her pollen sacks.
When shes loaded up she heads into the hive...and as you can see, our hive is thriving! click here to see a shot of the hive last year when we first got it.
As you can see, they are doing great and we are happy to see them make it thru their first Winter. Maybe in another year we can harvest some honey :)
I love collecting gnomes for my garden...but hadnt purchased any in a few years. This little guy hitched a ride up here with my cousin recently, and now he is part of the black bear family. Isnt he cute! :)
Also new to the black bear, is this cute little car bed from grandma and grandpa. Jordyn LOVES it, and it has made bedtime a delight! Thanks grandma and grandpa! :)
June in the canyon means high water, and this year is probably the highest it has been in years...at least ive never seen it this high. We had a few really HOT days in a row, which created quite a melt off of snow...and this is the result. Thankfully, the water level has already started to drop back down...but man, was it raging thru our back yard!
After a few really HOT days, we then had three straight days of rain...pouring, grey, dark rain :( Here is a shot of Jordyn getting cozy with Spooky on one of those rainy days. Thankfully, the sun has come back out and it is a gorgeous day today! Hopefully i can post some photos of more projects soon...but in the meantime, hope everyone is enjoying their Summer!

Love the redwork. and well done doing it now and having it ready in time for Christmas!! Love the pic of Jordyn and the cat too... aah... Summer here is not wanting to appear.. blustery, cold and 7 degrees celcius... Hope she comes soon! (glad the water stopped in time for you!)
The Santa stitchery is close to being done. I did not do one myself but have been doing other stitcheries. Fun, aren't they!
I always enjoy reading about your life at the cabin.
What a cute car bed! I bet she can't wait for bed time now!
That last picture of Jordyn and Spooky is adorable..you can tell they are the best of buddies.
That photo of Jordyn and Spooky is incredible. I can feel the contentment way over here!
Bees are so wonderful, and to have your own hive must be amazing!
