Eyelets

I got Dorothy Walpole back out and worked on some more Eyelet Stitches.  There seem to be hundreds of them!!  This was my progress on Monday...

I decided to take a little break from eyelets to start something small - May Word Play.  Here are the beautiful threads on the linen.

This was my progress as of yesterday...

Today, I let the boys play hooky and I took them up to Myrtle Beach to see their grandma and great aunt and to swim in the hotel/condo pool.  Check out this view!  It was a beautiful day, but very hot!  Thankfully, there were some indoor pools too!

I hope to get the May Word Play finished up soon and then get started on June (and get back to those eyelets too)!

  14. Looking great Nicole - Pecan Butter is one of my favorite Lakeside Linens. I have bought all the Wordplays and fibers but not had time to start one yet. They are so cute, wonder how you plan on finishing yours.
