Happy Potato Day!

 I've been meaning to post and Potato Day is as good of a reason as any! Baked potatoes are my favorite for sure, but roasted, hashed, mashed, souped, French fried, home fried, potato chipped, latked, totted, or stuffed in a pierogi, I just can't think of a bad way to cook a potato!

DH went hiking through the Beartooth mountains and then we went to the Sierras so it's been a long aimless time for me.  I had expected to get a lot of stitching done but I fell into the Hamish Macbeth mysteries and was lost in the Highlands of Scotland for a while! But I did work on some things! The more worked on ones were...

Tiger Moth, which is done except for the backstitching. This was a freebie kit from CrossStitcher magazine:


Atlas Moth, ditto.  The two months are supposed to be turned into coasters:



Ladybug, part of a completely separate but still bug-themed coaster freebie set from CrossStitcher:



Bumblebee, ditto:



Bear Walk has more bear:



Ukrainian Sunflowers has more sunflowers:


Dinosaurs has more sky:


Underwater Kingdom has more octopus:



Flowers A to Z has an aster going:



Kuna turned 15 so her vacation was pretty much sniffing things and napping. We were both on the same page for this trip, haha.
