Summer porch..summer projects...

A new tablecloth!    I love it..water resistant... 
French.... I am an orange lover and ...it has olive branches on it!!
 Mr. miss Holly..breakfast on the porch..the vegetable garden behind him..
 A very foggy morning...we have had LOTS of rain...I happen to be a rainy day lover but most people want to kill me when I mention it.....so.... I try not to...but rain on the roof...the sound of it..the smell of everything is so clean..I don't know ..it just makes me feel peaceful...
 lots and lots of lettuce....it is so so so so good....
 Kind of a silly little project but I have this thing about chickens....I was looking at vintage crochet potholders and saw an similar one...so I thought...I can figure this out...so it is not really the same but it has the right feel...
 Another chicken...trying a few different ways to make them...and under it my feedsack quilt...really an excuse to embroider...my vw bus... I saw this somewhere on a card
I think and thought " what a cool embroidery it would make..."  I would like to do a bunch in different colors....for a pillow???
 Miss chicken...this one is my own design....I know I know.... more chickens...
 and this little fellow is my design also....mr. wooley.....lots of french knots...
Anyway... I really need to FINISH a few projects...but I just have so so so many things I love to do.... I really must consider not sleeping....  Happy Friday to all you really nice people.....xoxo


Coming soon.... at seaview cottage.....
