Hello March!

We are a week into March already!  I find the days just passing by so quickly. We have had amazing weather and I can share with you some photos and, because I'm Canadian, I have to say "sorry" to those folks still in the depth of wintry weather.

First off...the cherry trees started blooming two weeks ago! That's about a month earlier than normal, although I don't know what "normal" is these days with regards to the weather!
I love seeing the blooms lining the streets.
Yesterday we were out in Richmond and saw these breathtaking views. 




It was just one of those perfect days! I think when I first saw the sun sparkling on the waters, I literally gasped it was so stunning.

I have been stitching on my PS Santa and I'm almost finished so I will wait to post it. Also, I have started some hand finishing work so "show time" will be coming soon.

In the meantime I can show off my March shelf.  I decided to put some past exchanges in there from other wonderful stitchers along with two of my own.
Let's see if I can remember...going from left to right:
1. Angel is from a local designer, stitched by me.
2. The design is Friendship Pin Pillow from Heartstring Samplery
3. Little round box is stitched over one (!) and is from Blackbird Designs but I can't remember what it's called.
4. Center pillow is done by me, and was a Blackbird Designs exclusive kit (I think)
5. The half moon is a Mary Garry design.
6. This is from dear Anne, and is a freebie from Threadwork Primitives.
7. This last one is from Andrea, it's Spring has Come from Prairie Schooler.

I can't remember who sent me 2, 3, and 5. Apologies!

Hope to be back with some real stitching and finishing soon! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week!

2015 - Let the Stitching Games Begin!

Image
Happy Monday to you! As we slide back into routine after the Christmas season, I bet a lot of you have been thinking about stitching goals, especially since there have been a lot of blog posts doing year-end wrap-ups and setting goals for 2015.  I usually don't set stitching goals, especially quantitative ones.  I find I can easily change my mind during the year when I see someone else stitching something I GOTTA have! You know the feeling!  I didn't name it but I like Mary's TYRA - The Year of Reckless Abandon is the spirit of her stitching this year! Pop over to Mary's blog and have a read, and then you can ogle her beautiful samplers too!  OK, so after having said that, I do want to continue to stitch smalls, especially Christmas ones. I might stitch the Birds of a Feather Santas, or Prairie Schooler Santas, or just some man in a funny red and white suit!  I do want to get back to stitching at least one big sampler this year but I think I will wait till S...

April Shelf and a few other things

Image
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. Here we've had a mix bag of weather. Right now it's sunny so I've forgotten all about the rain already! I will start off with the April Shelf: All four of the pin pillows are made by me and they are Blackbird Designs. The sweet little bunny up front was made by Anna (Ana?) in Poland. Sadly we lost touch. It's been a few years since she moved and I think her blog was closed down.  I have found that has happened to me with blogging friends. "Life happens", I know, and changes can hit you in real life that doesn't translate to the blogging world.  This next small is Caged Bird by Carriage House Samplings. I think I might spiff up the finishing a bit should/when I find the right trims. Many of you know Carol of the lovely blog, Stitching Dreams . If you know Carol, you will also know it was a big birthday for her this past January. So I wanted to give her a nice gift but I warned Carol that it would take ...
