Today is a glorious day, and I just couldn't resist capturing this lovely, flowering pink tree in our backyard. Before long, the blossoms will drop and then we will have to wait until next Spring to enjoy them again.
As I stitched away on some of my little 'Spring' pieces, I realized that it has been 2 weeks since I have posted anything! So, here I am, and here are my most recent finishes.

| 'April Word Play' by Brenda Gervais With Thy Needle & Thread |
Instead of the recommended 'rusted jingle bells', to be sewn along the bottom of this little doorbell pillow, I decided to add some pearlized flower buttons. I think that they add a nice touch of Springtime flowers!
Next up, is the beginning of 'May WordPlay', which I just started, so not much progress so far. I'm not sure why I am so addicted to these little WordPlay pillows, but then I love stitching monthly pieces, and putting them up every year.
Guess who has been sleeping in Mama Bear's Chair today? Miss Meggie, that's who!
When Meggie heard me snapping a picture of her sleeping, she decided to poker her little face out, to see why on earth Mama was bothering her.
Here we are, looking cute, tucked in back with Mama's back and arm pillows that I use when stitching. Meggie thinks Mama's stitching nest is really HER nest.....for sleeping of course!
Where ever you are today, and whatever you are doing this weekend, I hope that you will find some peaceful moments, just for yourself, to indulge in what you enjoy doing most......possibly a little stitching time?
May the joy of life delight you. May peace abide within your heart. May faith be your guiding light, and may you find true contentment in the simplest things in life.
Blessings in Stitches & Friendship With All of You, My Very Dear Friends!
Such wonderful spring stitching, Kathy. I really like the addition of the little flower buttons rather than the rusty jingle bells for the spring month--what a great idea. I love these charts, too--have bought all of them, just haven't stitched a one...
ReplyDeleteIt really is the most lovely spring ever--enjoy your day :)
Oh my! Both pieces are wonderful! I love how you finished them! And Meggie -- so adorable! lol about her thinking your stitching chair is for her to sleep in! We have the same problem with DH's chair -- Mia thinks it's hers to sleep in. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy: The tree is lovely and such a refreshing look.
ReplyDeleteAll your stitching projects are beautiful, I have to say that Maggies pictures are my favorite.
Happy Spring
Catherine

Your finishes are beautifully done! I love that little rabbit in the wagon. :) I seem to be developing a thing for rabbits. The hanger and buttons on April Word Play are so pretty. Meggie looks cozy and tucked up, but why do they always choose our seat? :) Hope your foot is doing better!
