Look at this cute little scarecrow. This was a free design found here: http://www.fiodameada.com.br/graficos.asp This scarecrow is #13. I guess I will make a little wallhanging out of this. We shall see!
I have been enjoying baseball again this year. "Lets go Mets" . Anyway, it is great to do handwork while watching baseball. If you miss something worthwhile they do replays! Many years ago I always did some crocheting and this year I've done handwork.

Unfortunately summer is over now. Time to clean out the garden and hopefully remember what I thought needed moving! I picked up a few spring bulbs and I found a few loose ones laying in the dirt. I guess the squirrells were having fun!!

There is another baseball game tonight. I have to get something ready to work on tonight. Wonder what will catch my eye today....

This is heart #16. I must admit that it is my favorite of the recent 3 which have the ladies on them. I had been playing with using more stitching and different combinations. And of course have added some beads. I love beads!
This heart went to Alison in Australia.

This was a hard heart to scan. The white fabrics and white stitching just wouldn't show up well. This heart was sent to Norma.

Peacock stitchery

I am trying to post this from my flickr account. I hope that this works!

This is a picture of a peacock that I have been working on. This is now calling out for some beads. I'll have to sit and play with it for a while. I'm thinking of using the very tiny petite beads just to outline and add sparkle. Of course I don't have any petite beads in a good color for this. Michaels here I come!!!

This pattern is from Pamela Kelloggs blog. There are a few peacock patterns she has generously put up for use. I'd love to see if anyone else has done any of these?
