Good morning from sunny New York! I really can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks since our last check-in.
I have been working mostly in my garden so not as much progress has been done on Crown of Thorns as I would have liked but here it is…
Where I left off last time:

And where I am now:

I have 4 more colors to do on the crown and then done!
Please visit the other stitching blogs. These ladies are working on some amazing projects!
See you in 3 weeks. -MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.
