It's amazing what a little sunshine and temps over 40 can do...This weekend I cut back my perennials and planted lots of pansies.
I think the Vitamin D from the sun did its trick as I then went inside to do some creating and decorating...
These two Stacy Nash pieces from last spring are finally out and on display.The very talented Vonna of The Twisted Stitcher has a finishing service which I used for the piece on the right - she did a lovely job!
I finished The Sampler Girl's Little Irish Sampler into a little pillow with rickrack around the edge.
and I finished these three cross stitch pieces that hopefully will become a sewing ensemble soon... I love the combination of soft yellows and grays.
And I pulled the wools for my next wool applique piece.

Who knows where that will lead ;)

Oh, what gorgeousness! :o
I DO so love that Stacy Nash set. I've yet to finish one of her patterns, but I need to!
Also, love that Sampler Girl; I totally have my eye on that one--such a treat to see it all stitched and finished!
Beautiful wools; can't wait to see what's next!
Love your Little Irish Sampler finish! I like the colors you chose.
It's worth waiting for the right mood when your finished work turns out so well. I just love all the pieces. The SN bunnies are so sweet. I've lived up north most of my life and in the Chicago area for three years so I can relate to the effect weather can have on one's mood. Glad you're getting some nice spring weather! ~Roberta
Wow!! What beauties !!! I love them all !!! Spring sure has sprung at your house !!! I have that sampler girl chart. I love your colors.. What colors did you use?
What beautiful stitcheries you have done! I love them all!
You did a beautiful finishing job on the Little Irish Sampler. All of the pieces have such soft colors - very nice.
I've had many inquiries as to the colors I chose for Sampler Girl's Little Irish Sampler. Here they are - 400, 610, 640, 680, 730, and 732.
Thanks so much for all the kind words!

I love those pussy willows! Can you share how you made those? They are just fabulous! Thank you so much!
The pussy willows are from a Needl Love Easter book. They are made with chenille yarn, wire and florist tape. Fun & quick ;)
Blessings, Patti
