Shamrock growing & Something Blue showing †

I have been stitching on Curtis Boehringer's 3 for $2 Shamrock Sampler. The fabric is a hand dyed 28 count cashel linen in the color Lagoon.  I don't know what company but I had purchased it years ago at Stitches 'n Things.  I am using white Silks 4 You silk floss.  The green dotted Swiss cotton fabric you see behind it is a lovely cotton quilting fabric that I purchased at 1-2-3 Stitch!  I am going to use it for one of my Irish designs I am stitching. I have stitched 2 of the lobes of the shamrock and I am working on the 3rd.  I love this and intend to stitch the 3rd design in this little leaflet also.

I did receive my fabric and floss for my intended start Rosewood Manor's Something Blue. The fabric is Picture This Plus 28 count cashel linen.  The color is called Alchemy.  It is so beautiful!  Also received is the 15 skeins of Weeks Dyed Works in the color Parchment.  Looking forward to starting that.

I hadn't been feeling well the past several days.  I believe this crazy back and forth weather is killing my sinuses.  I have been reading the Left Behind series again for the I don't know how many times now.  The events in the world are so dark and I need to focus on God more closely.  I also listen to the Bible in a Year podcasts from Father Mike Schmidt produced by Ascension. I love Father Mike and have learned SO much from him.  I need to keep God close in these troubling times, we all do.  So for this moment I will sign off with God Bless you my dear friends.
