Yesterday I stitched up Just Nans Running Rabbits. I really love this design. I think I like her older designs better than her new stuff but I like lots of the new stuff too:)

The fabric is actually light blue not the color it shows in the pic.

Then I finished up another of the stuff I've had stitched for awhile. This is Sonnenburg by Bright needle. I planned on making it into a biscornu but got lazy, I hate it when that happens.

I do like the bright colors on it and I love the little butterfly button.

Thanks for stopping to visit:)))))

Soooo, I haven't posted anything in forever because I just haven't been stitching. Not completely true, I did stitch two things last week and my plan is to make them into something this week. 

Well last Friday I picked up "And a Garden Grew" by Rosewood Manor and started stitching on it again. I kinda figured I could finish it in three days and guess what? You got it kiddos, its done...... :)))))))))  WOW, what a happy dance for me. I stitched this once before and never could find a frame for it.  I sold it and three days later or so I found the perfect frame. I bought the frame and started it again, 2 years later its finally done. WOOO HOOO!!!!

As you can see I completely left out the trellis, roses and words and just filled in with little flowers, birds, bees etc. I really like it.

Now I do have a problem though. I washed it in cold water and of course, the red ran badly around the two birds on the left hand side. The fabric has dried and my question is, if  I re-soak it in ice cold water and keep changing the water , will more of the red come out. Its pretty noticeable to me. Not that I wont frame it and hang it, I will but would love to be able to remove a little more of the red.  I thought maybe I could add a couple tiny butterflies if all else fails. What do you think girls? Should I try soaking it or is it set for life since it air dried?

Heres the pic............drumroll please, lol

I would love any input from you about soaking or not soaking it again.

Thanks for coming by:))

No stitching but some pictures of my yard, lol.

Ok, one more picture of my little tree, today its in full bloom:)

Any my enormous lilac bush. I always say I need to trim it back but it so pretty when it blooms I never do, lol.

No cross stitch stuff today but the flowers sure are pretty! Thanks for stopping by.

Maybe some of you will remember last year when my friend Wendy got me a little flowering crab apple tree. I was so excited, after all it was my first tree, lol.  Well here is the picture I took of it last year and another picture that I just took of it. It has grown so much. Someday its going to be a big beautiful tree. Thank you Wendy:) Yes you were right! UGH, I hate having to say that, lol.
