Good morning. I thought I'd share my progress on Afternoon in London. I've gotten through the two buildings and Big Ben in the design. When I pick up my stitching again in August, I'll be working on the other motifs and moving on to the letters and floral border at the bottom.
I love stitching on CCN designs. They are very relaxing and I like the soft colors that is uses :)
In crazy news, we have had an attack of fleas in our house! Having never had a problem with them before, I can say that I HATE them! We aren't sure how Lily got them...possibly from her mad dashes outside to flop down on the front porch or from us bringing them in on our shoes from the yard......who knows. So she has had a dose of flea medicine and we have cleaned the house top to bottom and have been vacuuming everyday so far. My sister read somewhere that you have to keep vacuuming everyday for at least a month because any fleas you haven't picked up will lay quite a few eggs in a day.
Ugh...............evil things! Well, at least this is a lesson learned that we have to be proactive and keep giving Lily her medicine every month because nothing is going to stop her determination to fly out an open door and flop down on the porch or pavement. She's a dingy bird for sure!
Until next time ^____^
Ewww, we had ticks when we moved into our new house, and in addition to having everything sprayed wound up giving our dogs a monthly medication to prevent them.
ReplyDeleteAfternoon in London is looking great!
Oh, no! Thank goodness you got rid of them and that your dogs got meds :)
DeleteThanks! It's a fun stitching project. Stitching anything English-themed always makes me happy :)
I HATE fleas. We had a year that they moved into our lawns. It took two professional pest control visits to get rid of them!! I noticed that the kitty had was scratching a bit this week, I need to take a closer look. Your stitching looks wonderful! I enjoy CCN patterns, too. I've done quite a few of their Christmas designs. I have a WHOLE bunch to work on, but since I will be living until I'm 300 years old, I've got time. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
If you are living until 300, I'll make sure to stick around too! Gotta keep reading your blog. I'm sure crafting will get more crazy in the future :) lol
DeleteWow! I think we will probably spray our yard as well, but we have to be careful with what we use because we have well water.
Have a great weekend :)
London is looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Good luck with your Mary embroidery. She looks beautiful so far!!
DeleteI love these Afternoon pieces by CCN as well but have never stitched one. So far.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will soon get rid or these fleas ...
I'm sure if they come out with a city you love, you'll stitch one too :)
DeleteThanks! I hope so too!!!
