I was going to start Mighty Oak Sampler but, of course, I didn't have all the fibers, so I started Sandcastle Bay. I love it! It's slow going because of all the color changes but really worth it. It is done on 32 ct aqua linen by LSL and using the suggested weeks and ga fibers. You can click on any of the pics for a larger view.
I tried to get a closer view so you can see the little people and the dogs. I love the dogs and the whales and the fish. OK, I love it all.
Today my Wednesday stitching group started the seasonal band sampler from the Just Cross Stitch magazine. There are 8 of us doing this every Wednesday. This is going to be hard for me because I usually work on 1 piece until it's finished. Not much progress as of yet.
Had July stretched and picked it up today. Put it my in and out frame. Very cute. Love the fire works.
Picked up this July piece, as well. Again, put it in the frame I use for all the PS monthy designs.
I want to thank everyone for all the great comments. I appreciate them all! I also want to welcome all my new followers. I am getting close to 500, amazing! I haven't had a pic of my sweet Sammi in awhile. Here she is doing what she does best.Until next time.....Happy Stitching! Deborah

Your stitching is beautiful as always a treat to see. I love the title of your post cause that is exactly how I feel too.
I love your projects -- you have good taste! I know what you mean about usually wanting to finish something and not doing something one day a week. But it's such a pretty piece! Love your pieces in their frames too! Sammi is so cute -- I think sleeping is what our pets enjoy the most too. lol!

Great new starts - that Praiseworthy piece has wonderful details. Sammy looks so sweet - what a good doggie. Looks like the perfect way to spend the afternoon.
July really is pretty. How did you find a group to stitch with?
Hi Sammi!!!
I love the sand castle finish. Gorgeous. 500 follwers.. wow, wtg!
what nice piece. Love the beach, scene. I picture of the dog made me laugh. How cute are pets.
I certainly could use some more time...someone needs to figure that out for all of us! Love your new start.
Everything looks wonderful! :)
That title is SO correct. I need more hours in a day!!! 24 just don't do the trick!!!!
Sandcastle Bay looks great, so does your band sampler.
Love both frames.
Great post title - just how I feel at the moment. Lovely new starts. Your framed pieces are gorgeous. Sammi is gorgeous too.
I need to find more time to stitch. I am easily sidetracked.
All your stitching is so lovely.
Hugs to Sammi!
Great pieces - both in progress and in frames!!
Sammi is so cute!
What a great post! I love your progress pictures and your finishes. Stitching is so much fun!
I love the Sandcastle Bay design! I haven't seen it before but it's certainly going on my wish list now. Loving your framed pieces too and Sammi is looking as sweet as ever. Happy stitching and best wishes to you.
Your new start looks like so much fun, Deborah! And what a perfect piece to be stitching this time of year :)
Love those framed July finishes--hope you have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
Love, love, love your July pieces. I have the PS July sampler done, just needs to be stretched and popped into the frame... So nice to see yours done.
What a cute dog. Hope you have a great July 4th.
Your new start is gorgeous and it's lovely to see the series from the JCS being stitched. It looks so pretty.
Love your framed July pieces:)
I love the work you've done! It's all so pretty! :)
So TRUE! So little time to stitch! It can be maddening!
Love your WIP's and your finishes. Beautiful work!
Lovely stitching projects! Your framed pieces look fabulous!
Your Sammi and my Pudge would get along wonderfully! LOL They seem to love the same activity! Love your WIP! That's a great idea to have a pop out frame for seasonal pieces! Thanks for the tip!
Sammi is really cute. It's my first time seeing her as I'm a relatively new follower. (Grats on almost five hundred. Good for you!!) Love your new start. It's darling. Keep up the good work. Both frames are good looking on the pieces you finished up! They both look great!
Great July pieces and Sandcastle bayy is just gorgeous
I love both of your July pieces! I think the fireworks are cute too.
And that goes for Sammi!
I love seeing what you've been stitching :o) Can you tell me the designer's name of the piece in your header?
Your framed pieces looks fantastic as always.
Thanks for the cute picture of Sammi :o)
