Welcome Everyone! I hope that you are doing well! Everything is great here in Arizona. The weather forecasters are still promising rain, though I have not seen any yet. Hopefully it will be soon because the birds do not want to eat their food in the heat. We (and most neighbors) have NO shade around our homes. A lot of homes have cacti growing in their front yard since this is the desert; but that does not provide any shade either; putting out water during the summer is not really a good idea either as the sun heats it up. It is not easy being a bird here in the summer months.
So on to my stitching! This week was a repeat of the last where I only stitched on the quilt blocks and the reindeer. I made good progress with them so let me show you!
First up, I'll show you the quilt blocks. I am still working on the last block and it looks like it should be finished this week. Then I have a fill in a few places I missed when I originally stitched those blocks.

I worked on this on Tuesday and Friday during our
weekly get togethers and I put in 158 stitches this week.
weekly get togethers and I put in 158 stitches this week.
Next up is my first Christmas ornament of the year, the Reindeer Bauble. I am getting kind of excited because I am about two thirds of the way finished, and you can really see the reindeer. I think the scary part of this will be cutting it out because that always makes me nervous!
I put in 413 stitches on this piece.

I have still been looking for a penguin ornament like these, but I haven't had much success. I have thought about trying to make it on my own, but I am not an artist!
So, I think that is it for the week.

Thank you very much for stopping by!
Hope that I see you next week.
