As far as me, I am dealing and running back and forth. I am tired. But like the Energiser Bunny I just keep going. My stitching time have suffered I am afraid. I am doing well to keep up with RR and exchanges that I am involved in. Someday there may be time but until then I do what I can do.
I am including some pictures of recent stitching and exchanges.
This is the Summer Exchange I sent to my partner with the Needlecraft Haven group. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I even made the cording that I used around it. I have been trying my hand at Kumihimo braiding and find that I enjoy it.
This is the gift I received from my partner. The berries are beads. So lovely. Now to find a place on my limited wall space to display it.
This is the front and back of a Needlebook I did for an exchange on UK Stitchers another group I am in. This one was a pleasure to stitch and I may make more in other colors. There is a scissor keep to match but that is not finished as of yet stitched but not finished.
This is the inside of the Needlebook. The lining is hand stitched along the edges.
I am also finishing up my part on a RR that I am stitching , I will post pictures another time.
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day !!

Lovely exchange gifts Dusty.
Hugs
Love it all. The colors on the flip flops is wonderful. So bright and cheerful. You are doing a great job during a very difficult time. Hugs to you - Taffy
Dusty: as the recipient of the needlebook, may I just say - without meaning any insult to your photography! - that the photos don't do your stitching justice. The needlebook is exquisite.
I have tried Kumihimo, and seen it demonstrated, but keep losing count along with which direction I am going round the disc.
Hugs (virtual) to you and Rich. E

Love the flip flops, so bright and colorful, sure to be treasured. Like the raspberry piece your received, it is so refreshing.
Dusty, keeping you and Rich in prayer. Your stitching looks great. Cute Flip Flop...love the needlebook and what you received is lovely!
Take Care
Dusty. So sorry to hear about your dear husband. The doctors and staff will take care of him, and you need to remember to make sure you don't get run down. Running back and forth visiting and all really is stressful.
