Stitchy & Frenchy Things

Lots going on today, I'm deciding on the colors for my next garden sampler, stitching another pattern and designing a new one at the same time.  A tea and cookies break is in order. The Assam tea and French vanilla madeleines are from my favorite French Tea Shop in Salem, MA. They're more than welcome on this rainy afternoon. September is here everyone! I'm looking forward to it. Hope you're taking time for tea too. xx ~ Jilly

New Pattern In Progress

Stitching my next pattern. As usual roses are involved. I can't help myself. ;)

Happy Stitching Everyone!

Tea and Stitching

When I want to ease into my mornings, I choose a hot cuppa tea, quiet prayer and gentle stitching. Today, the windows are wide open. I did a bit of cleaning. There's a cool breeze coming off the ocean. Since my home is small, tidying up is easy. The only thing I long for is hardwood floors. Maybe someday. I'll probably never give up my love of real wood floors and French chandeliers.
