June 2026 Stitchy Update

 

Hello Friends and Happy July!  I hope you had a great June full of summer fun, family and stitching. We have been having a lot of HOT weather here! Heat advisories and weather warnings, one after the other. In June we had a handful of days that were 99 and the rest were over 100.  It looks like July is lining up to follow suit. But now on with the stitchy news!

Christmas Tree

In June I continued stitching the Christmas tree ornaments. I am a little unhappy with their size since I did them on 14 count but I am sure they will be fine in the long run. Here are the trees that have been stitched up already. 

My children and grandson each picked their own colors. I am stitching up one for my niece right now. I didn't ask her about a color, I just picked green. I would also like to stitch on for myself so I will see how I feel once I finish this one. I am kind of tired of stitching this tree but I know if I take a break, I won't get back to them in time to finish them without rushing. 

And that was all the stitching I did for the month!

This month I got in three different titles. The first was by Wally Lamb. If you have never read one of his books I highly recommend that you check them out. The one I read was The River Is Waiting. The next book I finished was Joanne Fluke's The Other Child. If you are familiar with her books or movies in the Hannah Swensen Mystery series then you know that they are cozy mysteries which are are bit funny. This book was NOTHING other books. I was so disappointed but I managed to finish it. After that the next book was Stephen King's The Long Walk. This book was written under his pen name Richard Bachman. It was a very good book and I enjoyed it ! 

And that wraps up June for me!

Thanks for stopping by to see my June stitching and what I read during the month!

Hope to see you again next month.
Take care and be safe!
