Welcome to July!

June was very interesting month full of happiness, emotions, new impressions, tears, stress, but at the end of the day - still great! Life is wonderful!

I had my birthday this month and it happened to be my husband and I celebrate our years of happy marriage at the same day. One of the gifts I received was these gorgeous bouquet of 108 roses. Why 108? Oh, it is our little romantic love story.

We travelled to Las Vegas and saw some wonderful shows. One of them was show by David Copperfield. Unfortunately, it was not allowed to take pictures during any shows, but I have one picture of David Copperfield that he e-mails to everyone who visits his shows and who has a cell phone (magic in one word...)

I love to take pictures and took a lot of pictures of the city itself. The city is beautiful, however I was surprised to know that the most of people who live there and work for all entertainment industry, don't like neither Las Vegas, nor us, tourists, and I could saw why..., but I loved the shows...

My dear sweetheart was hospitalised to the hospital that month and had another surgery. He is at home now for recovery!

While spending time at the hospital and waiting when my husband will wake up after the sedative medications he received, I managed to work on some little flower. It helped to fight stress. Now it is time to finish it.

Welcome to July!

Sneak Peek - Collection of Quarter Petit Point Rugs

Today I would like to show you another recently finished quarter rug. I stitched this rug based on SharonG's pattern, but used only the design of borders from the pattern. I decided to stitch the field of the rug with one color. I used Gloriana silk on 49 count silk gauze. The rug measures 2 1/2" x 1 3/8".

I think this rug can be used in the dining room and you can put a dining table on it. I don't have a quarter dining table with chairs, that is why I used this little adorable bunny toy to show off my rug.

The bunny toy is signed KD and, I believe, is made from polymer clay.
