A Little of What I did on my Computer Vacation...

Hello All!

It is still summer for two more weeks,  and the weather here is lovely!

How are you faring in your corner of our beautiful planet?

Where ever you are, I wish you well.

August was a month of resting for me.

Truly, I rested more than I have in a long time

and it was good : )

There was time for sewing and learning some needlework...

I made this simple night gown...

 and practiced on it with inspiration  and instruction

from Karin Holmberg, through her lovely book...

Karin has also authored this book...

*Sigh*

There are a number of stitches I would love to learn,

I have begun on my nightie, just a simple beginner's stitch.

The material is very soft and I am enjoying wearing
these pajamas very much : )

I did get to work on my quilt, but so far I have chosen just to do

the simple lines before I start any getting fancy (lol! Like I know any 

fancy embroidery stitches!)

One day last month I was able to visit a local garden.

This is their newest pond.
So peaceful.
It is called the Virtue Peace Pond,
and it is at Sarah Duke Gardens.

I found this Lotus bud incredibly beautiful....

She is as large as my hand.
Here one of her sisters is
Opening gently...

And another sister opening to her fullest potential!
This trip was an delightful summer pleasure.

Next post I will share a little more of 

what I did on my time off.

Thank you so very much for stopping by!
I appreciated all your kind comemnts and
welcomes back.
Thank you all!
I am enjoying catching up with as many of your blogs that I can.
I am seeing some wonderful things.

Happy Friday night!

Hugs,
Terri
