Caroline, with the weather you should also add that our summers usually hover around 0-5% humidity but this summer we have been 50+% humidity and we are NOT loving it here in Portland Oregon! I either want it to rain or be dry. I am so sad when I smell the humidity but don't get the rain.... 😂 Your cat alphabet is really looking great!

Great plans Carolyn. I especially love the plans you have with Melanie for 2027. I realized I will be 70 on my birthday in 2027 (Oct). So I may attempt a similar plan but I get a handicap for the additional 20 years over you youngsters. So instead of 50 finishes I will shoot for 20 less or 30 finishes. So I won’t cheat myself I am only counting medium to large pieces. So I will be sure to mark all my current Wips that qualify before my birthday. Plus any new starts after my Birthday won’t qualify either. It’s a plan. I said it out loud. Thanks for the idea.

Congrats on the finish! I've stitched a couple of Heritage Stitchcraft kits, and I've enjoyed working with them. I have a few in my stash; when I decide to start one I'll be picking the one named Paula. It's so unusual to find my name anywhere that I had to buy it! 🪡👠

Hi Carolyn I just love your Finish Piece - it is so pretty. I love your WIPS - Beautiful Stitching. Very Pretty. I love Heritage Craft Patterns. I bought one or two of them from my LNS long time ago. They are the ladies as well. I have not stitch them yet. I want to. I am glad that you got your two rooms painted and getting everything organized. Good for you. The School System in my town starts back up on August 7th. That is not that far away. Enjoy the rest of your time off and get lots of Stitching done. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏☕️🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️
