Lazy Days of Summer

"Deep summer is when

laziness finds respectability"

Sam Keen

Well I have definitely been hit with the lazy days of summer. My stitching has not come to a halt but has slowed down tremendously. I have done a couple of pieces for an exchange but can't reveal just yet. I did manage to stitch this little Mill Hill pin yesterday. It will be leaving in a couple of days for a journey across the ocean.

I don't think I have ever introduced you to my stitching companion. You will most likely always find her watching me stitch. She likes to lay in the bed of my stitching room while I stitch away in the rocking chair. Lately she has taken a liking to my new toy. Just try and lay out some material and she is there always willing to help,. Here is my not so little Annabelle.

I will give you a little bit of my past. For about 15 years I worked at a small chocolate factory. I hand painted  and dipped chocolate all day. Yes of course I sampled. I was always bringing something different in to work to try and dip. Sonia was not only my boss but my friend. She has written her first chocolate book and just started a blog. Go visit Chocolates by Imagination and see what I use to do. I did have fun working there and never really thought of it as a job.

Don't let the lazy hot days of summer get you too bad.

Always keep love in your stitches,
Teresa
