Theme-a-licious 2012 Update

Jardin January
The holidays were a little stressful...let's relax in a nice garden. Work on any piece with flowers or gardens.

Here are some of the flowers I have been working on.  

 
I will be back on the 31st with some more.

No Time to Stitch Today!

But as I am determined to post everyday this month (as part of a challenge), I am back again.

I had a meeting this evening so the only pictures I have are what I stitched this weekend. I am going to stitch Daffycat's 3 reindeer at the same time. I showed a progress pic of "Holly Reindeer" on Saturday. Below is my progress on the other 2 - "Jinglebell Reindeer" and "Mistletoe Reindeer".

I did work on the San Man Witchy Boot but I was unable to finish.  Hopefully by the end of the week.

I  will sign off this  post with a picture of some beautiful flowers I received on Friday as a Thank You.

Aren't they lovely.  They made my office smell so good throughout the afternoon.   I love getting flowers.  Whenever I get a beautiful bouquet of flowers, I remember the first bouquet I ever received.   It was for my 16th Birthday from my maternal grandfather.  I had just met him the day before when my parents, my brother and I arrived on our first visit to Germany since my parents immigrated 20 years beforehand.  They were the biggest and most gorgeous bunch of flowers I had ever seen.  It is one of the few memories I have of him.   That same morning he also went out and got fresh buns from the bakery for our breakfast.  They were absolutely heavenly.

It is getting late now and I think I should be getting for bed.

Take care and Happy Stitching!!!
