Just finshed

 Mill Hill kit “Painted Pumpkins” with lots of beads and a green star button. I love all the silly faces. The put a smile on my face.


Right now I am working on a small stitch from the new “ Just Cross Stitch special Halloween issue. My Binche Lace project keeps calling  to me… come and play with all the bobbins.

Mimosa Tree

 Here is a picture of my Mimosa Tree taken from my kitchen window. It is so pretty. The tree makes me think of my parents. Nobody had a Mimosa Tree around me. The only place I saw it here in New York was my parents. I remember my Dad with his binoculars  sitting in his chair in the living room watching the Hummingbirds.

   years ago while visiting my girlfriend Erin in Knoxville we pulled over the side of the highway so I could pick some seed pods. I brought the pods home and the next year I started the seeds in a pit and planted them. The MimosaTree that was at my parents house is no more. When my daughter had a room added to her house the Mimosa Tree was taken down.

   


When I see this beauty I think of my parents and my friend Erin whom I have fond memories of both.
