Spring's A-comin'

I thought I would post some updated pictures so you can see that spring does eventually come here. It is not the prettiest time of the year. The ground is still frozen and there is still a few patches of snow here and there. Hopefully we will be seeing leaves on the trees and green, green grass soon.





As I mentioned in my last post, I just love the colours in BBD's "Bluebird's Message". I love them so much I took every opportunity I could this week to stitch on this project. Below is a picture of my progress as of 15 minutes ago.



I am currently missing the colour for the branches - WDW Havana . I didn't have it in my stash and my LNS was out of stock. I did order it online and I hope to have it by next weekend. I am really looking forward to seeing this piece completed.

A week ago my mother told me that someone had donated some embroidery floss to her knitting grou and since the members had no use for it she asked if she could give it to me. She was given the okay and I picked it up on Tuesday. It is quite a nice haul. The bag contains a combination of both DMC and Anchor.



A couple of weeks ago I read this post. I thought it was such a neat idea to display my scissors in a flower frog and I went and bought this little gem from a seller on Esty.Link





I know I will be picking up some more of these since I discovered all the lovely little scissors sold on this site - Anita's Little Stitches. Since January I have already bought 4 and have a few others earmarked for future purchases.

Well, it has been a long day. Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Oh my, your BBD project is gorgeous, Loretta! The colors are stunning, aren't they?

    Sooner or later we all get hooked on scissor collecting! Frogs are such a fun way to display them and you picked a pretty one.

  8. The colors are so vibrant, and I love the frog.

    Fun too seeing photos of your area this time of year. When one lives where it doesn't snow, it's hard to imagine life with it!
