Lovely finish and lots of other lovely pictures too, what fun celebrations you had in May! You patriotic cabinet is so fun - I just have a few smalls out for this season. I seem to do a lot more fall and winter than spring and summer stitching. I don’t have any major allergies - have had a few bad reactions to medicine and have some seasonal allergies but none too bad. It does sound like you have a shellfish allergy. I have similar bad reactions to bell peppers - I don’t know if it is an allergy, but I always say we just don’t get along! Hope your June has been nice!

Mr B is getting big! Your sampler finish is to die for. In a sampler, I like light reds and greens. My allergies? All melons, ugh. I love cantaloupe too. My daughter and I have found that we can eat them as long as we wash them down with water. We both get an itchy mouth after eating melons. I like Crenshaw also. Your hostas are so pretty; they don't do well here in Arizona, unfortunately.

happy June! Your stitching, as usual, ...Dear Carol,<br />happy June! Your stitching, as usual, is wonderful. Another blogger friend of mine has been stitching on a blue/brown sampler, and I keep thinking that I must try out that colour scheme myself; it's a little unusual but very pretty.<br />Love seeing all your patriotic stitching too. I think many of these pieces are so pretty, but it would feel weird for me to stitch them.<br />Glad you got to spend some time with your family! We are starting to visit ours again as well, which is nice, but also re-awakens some drama that had been dormant for some time *sighs*<br />As for your question, I don't have any food allergies (that I am aware of), but I suffer from 'un-seasonal' allergies - I'm sneezing and sniffling all year, and noone can really tell why! Also, it's not really an allergy, but I got a skin condition that makes me very sensitive to chlorinated water, so swimming in most pools is a no-no for me.Leonore Wintererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681857834221038780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-71928585380661017752022-06-03T12:22:15.130-04:002022-06-03T12:22:15.130-04:00It's amazing that the deer don't eat your ...It's amazing that the deer don't eat your hostas! What a beautiful garden you have, Carol! I'm so sorry about the cardinal eggs...they're so beautiful. Wow that's hard to believe that your dear grandson is almost 2. Seems like yesterday that you were making him a quilt for his birth. Your stitching on your last post is wonderful and I'm going to look for those indigo threads. So beautiful. I love two colour things and my favourites are blue and white and red and white. So far I don't think I'm allergic to anything. Happy June to you and your family.<br />xoxoClaireClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068157564997351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-54123339324130545452022-06-02T15:12:07.138-04:002022-06-02T15:12:07.138-04:00Le mois de mai est passé bien vite pour moi aussi....Le mois de mai est passé bien vite pour moi aussi. Nous avons eu la joie d’accueillir notre deuxième petite-fille Ella née le 13 mai, c'est une petite brune comme sa grande sœur Lara.<br />Ce sampler est magnifique. C'est vrai que la cabane fait penser à la petite maison dans la prairie. Je regarde encore cette série, c'est beau, c'est attendrissant. Ça permet de voir et entendre autre chose que les malheurs dans le monde. <br />J'aime brodé le bleu, cette couleur est apaisante, elle reste ma préférée depuis l'enfance... Mais je pense que c'est surtout broder qui m'apaise, comme vous..<br />Votre étagère à la décoration patriotique est très jolie.<br />Pas de pluie ou très peu en mai en France. La sécheresse est là. Ils annoncent de la pluie pour les prochains jours, cela fera du bien aux pauvres plantes qui peinent beaucoup.<br />Pauvre cardinaux.. Ils doivent être tristes en effet.<br />Je n'ai jamais vu de pic aussi grand ! C'est très impressionnant...<br />Nos poules tout comme les oies laissent des petits cadeaux... Mais ce n'est pas grave. Si vous n'en voulez pas de ces bernaches glissez leur dans l'oreille que nous les accueillerons avec plaisir ! Pas sûre qu'elle fasse le voyage jusqu'en France !<br />La fête des mères était le 29 mai chez nous. Nous faisons un repas avec les enfants et petites-filles dimanche pour cette occasion mais également pour fêter l'anniversaire de mon mari Hervé qui a pris 59 ans hier.<br />Votre belle-mère est bien alerte. Souhaitons lui de nombreux autres anniversaires.<br />Le Spring time est magnifique ! Je participe pour le plaisir, ne me mettez pas dans le tirage au sort, les frais d'envoi sont trop onéreux.<br />Les allergies je ne veux plus les compter... La laine, différents pollens, le rhume des foins... Concernant l'alimentaire, le kiwi, épluché ou pas j'ai les lèvres qui triplent de volume. Allergie cutané avec le sparadrap, tous les pansements en général, sitôt collés des cloques apparaissent. Pas facile en cas d'opération ! Mais on trouve autre chose à mettre.. <br />Amitiés de France,<br />Christel<br />http://toilesetfils.blogspot.comChristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809610132454518380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-51184696460818591992022-06-02T15:06:45.858-04:002022-06-02T15:06:45.858-04:00Your home decorating style is so lovely.

You have a wonderful knack for finding perfect items to compliment your stitching.

It seems to have rained more this spring than in years past.<br />I laughed when I saw your geese picture. I had two in my yard that then brought two of their friends.

I didn't develope allergies untill we moved to Oregon, now that we are in Alabama spring and fall is bad. I count my blessings as things could be worse. I've only started to stitch this year and love it. I still am a quilter but thought I needed a sit down hobby for my older years. Why I didn't do this earlier is a mystery.

Glad you've had some quality family time...and little B is so darn cute!!!<br />I have an issue with carrageenan, which is a stabilzer added to certain foods, mainly dairy. I first discovered it about 10 years ago when I starting having "side effects" when eating ice cream and rotisserie chicken. Couldn't figure out the correlation, but my SIL, who is a chef, said it could be the carrageenan. Lo and behold..that ingredient was in both as well as other items that have dairy as an ingredient. So, I always try to check labels, but still get caught off guard sometimes.<br />Have a lovely summer...and let's hope for low humidity!!Stasi https://www.blogger.com/profile/00000948058305917186noreply@blogger.com
