Some Photos

Here's the latest on the Victorian Pansies bookmark as promised. I've done a bit more since I last mentioned it. In fact, the XS is almost completed and certainly will be this afternoon. I have LOADS of housework to do, but I'm having such a hard time sleeping at the, that I feel just too much like a zombie to manage much physical stuff. Ugh!

Also on display today are the latest buys. I won this blue tit XS kit on E-bay. Had to bid for it as I just love blue tits. Haven't a clue where or who to stitch it for, but I can't resist the things!!! Alongside that is the 17" R&R Craft frame which I really need for larger hardanger things such as cushions and so on that are really too big to fit in the 14" one. Speaking of which, the green #5 pearl cotton is for the cushion that I started and goofed, thus having to take most of it out again. I needed another skein so that there's going to be enough to finish it!! And I will count very carefully this time, you can be sure of it! The fabric is ½ metre of antique white Jobelan (28ct) which is to be for the bird XS pics for our bedroom.

Pansies are one of my favorite flowers, so of course the bookmark looks fab. The blue tit looks like it will be a good stitch.

I love the birds! I have one of those frames, and I like it a lot!
Your pansy bookmark is already looking great! I have pansies in my garden all winter long. These flowers are so strong, yet look so fragile...
I have just e mailed you, but I'm not sure you did get my message.
Lots of hugs!
