Thursday is the big day! We'll be leaving our beautiful home by the lake and moving to the city. There will be big changes, but DH and I are ready for new adventures.
I believe the gardens are very aware that we'll be moving, too: they put on a spectacular show of colour during the last week. I have never seen the gardens looking so lush and beautiful, with so many blooms.
On the stitching front. I've been working on my July Block. I added some tatting........
I've been adding lots of stitching to my wrapping cloth piece #7, too.
rows of buttonhole lace on the side lace panel and on the organza ribbon on top
wrapping cloth piece #7 is almost finished!
just a couple more titivations and I'll be starting piece # 8!
I would have damp-stretched this, but my board is already packed. lol
I shall not be able to reply to all you lovely people who leave such pleasant and supportive comments here, as the computer will be unplugged sometime Tuesday.
I'm not sure just how long I'll be offline, but I do know I'll miss you!
May you find many enjoyable hours to follow your muse and create while I'm away.
Good-bye lake, and turtle island. Good-bye gardens, beaver pond, and Rockman. Good-bye house, and quiet solitude in the bush. Hello city life!
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz
Beautiful flowers! I hope your move goes smoothly and that you're back soon!
ReplyDeleteI can almost feel the celebration and good wishes flowing from the flowers in your garden. You must be very proud of them all.

Good luck on your move! I remember too well how much work it is and don't envy you one bit. Be sure to take lots of breaks in the heat.
ReplyDeleteOh Suz! What a momentous time.So many emotions. So glad you are going to a more manageable property.It is sad to leave such a pretty garden, but a lovely way to remember it.I'll be thinking of you driving to your new home,.That all happened quite quickly didn't it!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have energy for all the unpacking.You'll have excitement to buoy you up.
All the best Suz.
Suz your new adventure will be wonderful. I believe you are ready to travel this journey. Your "former" gardens are showing you how thankful they are that you tended them so well for so long. I am loving your July CQ block and your #7 wrapping cloth. Thankfully you have your stitching to keep you grounded. Safe move and looking forward to hearing from you when you are settled in dear...

I hope that you enjoy the new challenges ahead in the city. So good that the garden has given you a beautiful send-off.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is beautiful.
Love your stitching on the CQ block, the colors and the wandering of the threads. Really pretty blossoms, must be hard to leave all that behind, you worked so hard to create it! The city has different attractions. Good luck with the move, may nothing get broken.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers have put on quite a show to wish you farewell. I can see that they've inspired your lovely stitching. Good luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move, I am sure the display your garden has given you and the inspiration the garden has given you. I hope you will have a small garden in the city and can take a few plants with you.

Love,plans and happiness as you start the next exciting chapter of your life xxx
ReplyDeleteI was totally unaware you were moving! I do understand that you were kind of isolated there, but it sure is a lovely place! This will be a big transition, but I assume you'll be closer to family, which is so important.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading about your new adventure, and to admire more of your amazing and fabulous stitching and artwork! You have so much talent!
Good luck with the move!
The great goodbye huh? I hope all went well with your move, and this next adventure is as good as the last.... You will undoubtedly look back on these years as a marvellous time in your life. Best of luck!!!!
