bright and cheerful for spring. 

Summer is my favorite season.  This was done

on 25ct Winter Skies Laguna.

 Happy 26th Birthday Amanda 

My oldest  daughter.

Have a great day.

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating.

He is Risen, Amen

Welcome March

 This pattern I got on pinterest.

Such a pretty bunny.

I used my own colors.

 My friend Tricia made me this beautiful

blanket.  my favorite color is blue.

It took her 69 hours to crochet this piece.

She did an amazing job.

 This is My dresser decorated for spring.

 These are LeCreuset cups.

Rainbow colors.  I use these for my

homemade chocolate mousse.

Happy spring 

Spring ahead

Does anyone want spring?

With Easter the end of March,  I needed some

spring stitches to display.

Both lizzie kate patterns.

This kit was sent to me and I was drawn

to the spring colors.  Bunnies are my favorite in

the spring

Bless our home stitched over one.  This
is a Christmas ornament but will be displayed
in the spring and summer.

Looking forward to March.

Happy stitching.

first 2 finishes of February

 The Prarie schooler

This piece was done over 1 on 28 ct linen

Inspired by my sisters dog Mongo, I call

him Moo.  He keeps  me busy and thinks I

moved in as his own personal entertainer.  

He brings brings me joy and gives me lots

of love.  Pets are special aren't they?

They all have their own  personality. 

LHN.  I adore this gingerbread man.

I changed  the colors around.  once I finished

stitching,  I gave it  antique highlights.

This is out of the box for  me, it gives the

piece a rustic feel.   I like the red border, more

of a Christmas feel.

 Moo and me in October,  he looks super happy.

Happy Valentines day to everyone.

Time goes so fast.

Blessings to everyone.

To display this piece I wanted it

a piece of wood.

pieces for seasons coming up.

My friend Peggy who went home to

heaven last fall stithed this piece.

I finished it.  it was a challenge.

There was no template.  a very pretty

piece by Homespun elegance.

My display on my dresser.

This prairie schooler santa is from book

48.  I left off the welcome.  As you can see I

chaneed the patterns a little.  can you see the crystals?

I have been drawn to the Prarie schooler patterns lately.

It's the simplicity of stitching them.

A lot of pieces in one post.  I usually post 

a couple of pieces at a time.

Into February we go.
