The weather has been absolutely beautiful the last few days. We attended the local events onCanada Day. It was a great time for the local kids. There was a huge bouncey castle, all sorts of outside games, pony rides, cotton candy and popcorn. Randy Jones, who is from the area and was just signed on with the Winnepeg Jets (he was playing for Tampa Bay) signed autographs all day. I'm not sure if that was planned or if he just showed up because it wasn't advertised anywhere that he was coming. After we were all tuckered out from the days events, we ended the day with a family BBQ.
As far as stitching is concerned, there has only been the odd stitch here and there. I finished off the needlecase and scissor fob, and now only have the pin pillow left from this little set by Country Garden Stitchery.

I'm a little worried about finishing the needlecase. There isn't much fabric leftover on the left edge to attach the lining. It will be a very small seam allowance in any case.
I am really enjoying stitching this set. The colours are quite cheerful and I love the look of the light blue around the edge and it looks great on this natural linen. Once the pin pillow is finished, I will have my very first matching set of needle accessories.

Wow! Your set is looking lovely! The colours are so very beautiful :) Best of luck in finishing the needlecase; that sounds like it will be fiddly *rolls eyes*. You will have a gorgeous set of coordinated stitchy tools when you finish! You might even have to make a box to put them in like I am, LOL.
Glad to hear that you had a wonderful holiday weekend! The weather has been grand here as well :)
