Summer Time

Summer time is here! What a great time to step inside and enjoy a few quiet moments for myself. There are some beautiful canvases that have hit the shop. One of them (of a series of four) is Hawaiian Dance. They all depict nostalgic retoro Hawaii. The Point of It All Designs has added these wonderful canvases to their line. so of course I have to do stitch guides. So am working on this one — so many bright colors, so many wonderful threads available. As I travel through this canvas I will let you know what is happening.

Hawaiian Dance

Have a great wekeend — you know where I will be — working with this wonderful canvas.

Weekend Stitching

What a great weekend!  Breezy, windy weather to keep me in side.  So I am stitching away on Amy Bunger’s Blue Hawaiian.  Actually I should be drinking, because today is not a good counting day.  While the palm trees are swaying away outside, my palm trees just don’t want to sway on my canvas.  I can count to 4 and no higher today.  Oh well, just one of those days.

But I am looking at 2 wonderful retro canvases that have been done by To the Point.  they are called Hawaiian Fruit Bowl and Hawaiian Pic Roast.  Oh my, they are gorgeous.  So my head is spinning with ideas.  I can use Ribbons, Vineyard Silk, Splendor, Burmilana — just finding the right colors in the right places.  So I think I will stop counting and work and stitching choses.
