Round the bend

Just as the title says, I am getting on with this European Cushion

It is a joy to stitch, I always stitch large designs, I love the scales of these pieces, plus if I just stitched small designs, I would have loads in my to be finished box. Normally around this point I can get bored with the design and look for a quickie to stitch, but I can't see it happening this time, I love the shades I have chosen, some are close to the original and others I used just because I loved the shades together. I still might add one more colour for the central panels, but for now I will keep going on the outside. The design was not published in DMC threads.

On my last internet shop I purchased this kit, I love stitching designs with balance, and these colours are so me, I will use the whole kit, at 28dpi, it's a size I like. I did order another Rovaris heart design, but that still has to arrive.

 I got some beautiful white roses last time we went shopping, with my orchid they look great, after my last bunch of flowers had gone over the room looked a bit bare, the orchid is an old plant which flowered again.

My garden is looking good, I am hoping for the promised rain this weekend, the ground needs a good soaking, I have just dead heading in the flower section, and waiting for the tomatoes to turn red in the veg, I hope to get another small harvest over the next few days. My pepper plants are really late this year, most of them do not yet have flowers.
My lime plant is flourishing (still only three healthy leaves) and the lemon pip has a healthy root.
I have swapped some cuttings for two of my small shrubs, so Su and David won't get so many now, with a neighbour, I noticed a couple for spaces in the garden whilst enjoying her coffee on Wednesday.
The new job yesterday did not go well, it was not as I expected, all very restricting and I was immediately confronted by boxes of archiving paperwork, I can't lift and had told them at my interview. It was also suggested I should not wear makeup, jewelry and wear flat shoes all of which they saw at my interview, anyone who knows me, has never seen me any different, so last night hubby and I agreed for me not to go back. So back to the job hunt.
Paula, Cucamelons are from South America, they are small grape size and taste very fresh with a hint of lime, slow starters, they have now gone mad and I can't wait for the harvest.
