Hi friends! Happy Mother's Day to you moms out there. :) I spent the afternoon with my mom yesterday. We got the whole family together for cake and happy times. Today we head to the in-laws for a BBQ.
Here are the first flowers to appear in my garden.
I have begun planting pots and urns with annuals. They are still waiting in the garage. Not all that warm yet at night.
I had this freebie for a few years. I am sorry, I do not have the link. After Miss Mabel's latest episode of back pain, I realized I did not want to put off stitching this any longer.
Totally adorable right?! Looks so much like our girl. :) I stitched this on 32ct white linen, two over two. I chose my own DMC colors.
I found this sweet fabric for the back in my stash. I used bordeaux velvet ribbon for the trim.
Mabel is off all meds and is doing alright. She is a tiny bit slower than she was before. Much more reserved in play than hyper Henry! ;) We have decided to lift her down out of the house and our one porch step every time now. Why risk flaring up her back pain again.(She has not used the stairs or jumped on/off furniture for a long time.) She is smart and will wait for us to lift her up and down. :) She is definitely the smartest dog we have ever owned. Henry is smart too. Kinda. Well... He is adorable, sweet and oh so loving.
Started stitching on yet another small. :)
I hope your day is a beautiful one my friends! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Mabel's ornament is so sweet with the velvet ribbon finish. Hard to do those oval sort of shapes but you nailed it! Nice to hear she's doing so much better.
The ornie does look like Mabel! Wonderful! I love it! So glad to hear Mabel is doing ok off her meds. I hope she continues to improve. Poor little thing. She does sound very smart, which is a good thing! Keep that little Henry at bay. lol!
