My Sunday Stitchy Update 06/25/23

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a pleasant day today. We have had some extra hot days this week with temps in the 100s for most of the week. The temperature plans on staying there for at least the next ten days. Summer is here for sure!! 

Our dogs have a dog door and then run back into the house faster than they go out! They don't even bark at the neighbors or delivery people when it is this hot!

Here is my favorite picture of all our boys together.


They are all rescues and Damian and Appa came from the same home before they were surrendered to the shelter originally. At the shelter we only went in for one dog but they couldn't or wouldn't be separated so they both came home with us. At Christmas time Appa started getting very sick and losing so much weight that I was scared for him. When we were finally able to get him into the emergency vet (even the emergency vet had a long wait time) we found out the he has diabetes and is now mostly blind. Luckily he has lived in this house for six years so he knows where everything is (most of the time!) so he is able to get through the house easily and safely.

This week when I spun the wheel it landed on the Boo Banner piece! I haven't stitched on this one since October of 2022. I finished all the cross stitch on this page and started on the backstitch. I thought I could get some backstitching finished before I moved to the second page.

Progress 06/25/23

Unfortunately I was not able to work on  the Blackwork SAL this week because something is wrong with their website and the chart doesn't want to download. Hopefully they will fix it tomorrow.

Well, that is it for this week.

Have a great stitchy week!

And as always thanks so much for stopping by,
see you next week with another faithful update!

For now I am off to do some backstitching...

OMGoodness, The Boys are adorable! Do they all try to sit with you when you're stitching?!
I know you're farther along with the Boo Banner now, but I still love seeing it.
