I'm so close but not finished yet with
Let's Do Coffee! I still have to backstitch the coffee beans in the handle, then stitch two more rows of words in the saucer.

| Let's Do Coffee update #4 |
I'm SURE I can finish this today after work. I already have a frame ready to pop it in, then I'll wrap it up, pack it in a box, and mail it tomorrow to my friend for her birthday!
It's time for the Totally Useless Stitch-a-Long again! Share a picture of your ORT (old ratty threads) jar. Read all about the TUSAL
HERE. Check in on
Daffycat's blog with a link to your July TUSAL blog post, too!

I took the picture outside by this big flower bush with clusters of little berries. It grows like a weed and I don't even know what it's called! It's about 5 feet high now. Can anyone identify it?
CORRECTION: Thanks to
AnaCristina, now I know this is Lantana!
