Well despite what I just said I have managed some more on Water Tiger and I am pleased with the progress I have make on this one so far.
Also a little more on EMS Rose Sampler though my progress on this is not what I had hoped for.
I am sorry that my photographic skillare are not very good but at least you can tell its growing lol.On the card front I made this one for my darling hubby who celebrated his birthday on Wednesday. The family all came round in the evening and it was lovely to be able to sit out and share his cake and laugh and chat together. 
What else have I been up to - well with the beautiful weather comes time in the garden and we have spend a lot of time out there, Earlier in the year I shared some pictures of my spring garden so I hope you will be indulgent and allow me to show some of my summer garden now.

These last two pictures were taken of the yard at the side this morning and I have been intending to sit out there and stitch - you might be able to see my stitching ready on the table - unfortunately 15 minutes later we had a small thunderstorm and it is still raining heavily so guess I will either have to stitch inside or find something else to do - lol like catching up with my blog. Catching up with the blogs I follow seems almost impossible, my blog reader is telling me I have 172 blogs with new postings and as fast as i seem to read one another two pop up, so please forgive me I am doing my best - even if my best aint good enough.
Thank you to all who visit my little world, and to those who leave comments - you all make this little journey through life so much more interesting with the things you say, encouragement you give me and tips you share.
Just one last thing before I go - one or two of you have asked how my food diary is going - well typically and without trying to tempt fate - since I have started it I have not had one tummy upset so at the moment I cannot tell if it will shed any light on the problem or if it has cured the problem lol - I will keep you updated if any developments occur.
Hugs for all those who need them,
May your frogs stay in their ponds.

Your garden is looking great.
Definately a good thing if it's friends and family that are keeping you from stitching.
Lovely garden pics
What lovely pictures, your garden looks like the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon.
Helen, your garden is amazing. I want to come and stitch in it with you!!! I don't know which corner I would pick though. Maybe I could try them all.
I find I have less time now that I am retired too! But like you it is fun to have more time to spend with family and friends. Dani is here for 3 days and we are stitching and talking lots. Beatrice is due to join us soon.
Helen your garden does look amazing as does your stitching - it is really coming along nicely. I just wish my retired DH would do somethin else other than watch TV and then maybe mine would look good. Never mind I shall just have to hire a gardener. Lots of Love Patti xxx
Your summer garden is delightful, what a lovely place!
I love the softness of those roses in your ems rose sampler, what a lovely piece of needlework!
A lovely summer garden Great progress on your WIPs. Didn't we just have a thunderstorm, it went so, so black. It's a good thing i have an inside job nowadays. :)
Wow, your garden looks beautiful. I can't grow much, but did plant a little in my front flower box, fingers crossed I can keep them alive. Loved your earlier pictures, he looks like he's having a lovely time, and the cake you made was fantasic, what a cute design with the mice and cheese.

Your garden looks lovely Helen, and I'm sure it appreciated a little thunder shower even if you didn't

sorry for the troubles.
Your garden is such a treasure. It's perfect for stitching and reading.

Your garden is beautiful I am very jealous...due to my health problems and a OH that has no gardening interest whatsoever (even though his surname would suggest otherwise lol) we don't have very many plants at all! I would love to join you sitting and stitching in the sun and seeing plenty of bumble bees and flutterbys visiting. You are making great progress on your tiger, belated birthday wishes to your hubby, I like the card you made him :)
Helen your water tiger is going to be just amazing! Your garden looks like a wonderful haven!
Helen I started that Water Tiger and quit. I'm going to redo on different fabric.
Yours is looking great.
