Happy Canada Day!!

I'd like to wish a Happy Canada Day to all of my fellow Canadians all over the world!! 

Here are some photos from my Animal Crossing New Horizons video game.  

I have created a red & white rose flower bed in the shape of a Canada Flag.  

This is another red & white flower bed.  These flowers are called windflowers.

I also made some other red & white flower beds.  I used the Moai statue I received as a gift.

Here are 2 small hyacinth flower beds.

Here is my only Canadian themed cross stitch.  It is called Oh Canada! by Imaginating.  I originally wanted to sew it into a Canadian Flag, but decided to just frame it.

Cherries

I think it is time to pick cherries from our tree.  We planted this tree around 20 years ago.  The first time it gave cherries it was every other year.  Then when it was mature we now get them every year.  We have enough for Dave & I, our friends and neighbours and and half the tree for the birds, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and skunks to enjoy as well.  Unfortunately, my family now have their own cherry trees, so I can't share anymore.

The first 4 photos are taken from above looking out my craft room window.

The next 3 photos are taken from the ground at eye level.  You can see how full the branches are.

This photo is showing a cluster of cherries on one branch.

Here is a small bowl of cherries picked from the branch shown above.

SYOA - touch ups

I was double checking my SYOA project to make sure I’m all caught up before Chapter 4 is released on Wednesday, July 1.  

I finally got around to adding the numbers 5972 to the Hogwarts Express.

I also noticed I was missing the bottom 3 rows of cream & beige stitches on the edge of the parchment in Chapter 2.

Miss Ghostly Pumpkin Mouse - Happy Dance

I just finished the Autumn Mouse.  I’ll try to assemble the mouse sometime this week.

Miss Ghostly Pumpkin Mouse - update #2

I stitched some more on the Autumn Mouse.  I ran out of DMC 740 on my bobbin, I need to check and see if I have a backup one.  If not, I will need to pick up some this week.

Miss Ghostly Pumpkin Mouse - update #1

I only stitched a little bit on the project last night.

Miss Ghostly Pumpkin Mouse

I have a week in between projects so I think I will start another one of the just Nan mice.  This one is from the Haunted Autumn Mouse in a House, but I’m only stitching the mouse.  Here name is Miss Ghostly Pumpkin Mouse.  

I will be stitching her on 28ct Lugana called Fizzle from Picture This Plus.

Here are the threads and fabric I will be using.  You can see a small photo at the bottom of the mouse.
