My new start

It's been pretty rainy here over the past week or so, which is great for the garden and flowerbeds but not so great for making progress on our deck! The weeds are also enjoying the wet weather and I'll have lots to pull out once things dry out a bit.

The one thing the rain has been good for is stitching and to prove that, here is my progress on my new start, "The Dreaming" by Dinky Dyes Designs:

Dinky Dyes - The Dreaming

Sorry for the poor picture but it's cloudy here at the moment and I had to use the flash to show the floss colour decently. I'm happy to say that I got the blue outer border done without any frogging so now it's just a matter of filling it in. I chose this piece since it's easy to pick up for just a few minutes at a time and because it'll be easy to work on while watching my summer TV train wreck (aka "Big Brother"). With all the whispering that goes on, I need to be able to look up and read the subtitles from time to time, lol!

Thanks for the comments on my last post. :-)

Excellent start Christine!

We need to paint our porch and fence, so I know what you mean about the weather.

It's looking good so far Christine! Hurrah for no frogging. I am in Calgary at the moment so I can sympathize with the crumby weather. You call this summer?
