Hey, Friends!
Last weekend was beautiful, warm springtime – this one is rainy, early spring. Although it is cool, there are blooms and pollen everywhere, but there is supposed to be some rain to help wash that away…haven’t seen it yet.
Next weekend Amy of Down Sunshine Lane is hosting a stitching get together in Manning at the French Hens restaurant. Hop over to read about it on Amy’s blog. I’ve been a couple of times and fun is had by all!
The finished BBD AotH, A Wish for You, is in honor of my dad, whose birthday is the end of March. As I was taking the photo I realized that the date really needs to be changed – Duh, what was I thinking? Not.
While waiting for some threads on order, I started a design called Bluebirds and Flowers from a Leisure Arts booklet called Old Samplers. As you can see, a little change was in order. I received this Victorian Motto in Autumn at PALS last year, and thought it would work up nicely in this design.
You know I’m not one who typically starts more than one project at a time, but when those fibers came in, I just HAD to start on BBD, Breath of Spring. Of course I’m loving it.
The fourth in the series of Specialty Stitches is the Square Eyelet. My stitches are far from perfect, but it is fun to try new things!
Oh, and like I really need to start a new craft, I’ve been taken by the Punch Needle! Want to join me? Take a look at this darling design over at Nan’s Needlework Notions. She also has some of these for sale if you get bitten, too!
* Reminder: TuSAL is in the side bar this year à
Well, it’s time for me to go blogging to see what you’ve all been up to! Thanks for stopping in, and you know I love to hear what you’re thinking today!
PeaceëLoveëJoy
and Happy Stitching
