Happy Sunday, all! I'm happy to say it's a three-day weekend. I've put the time to good use with stitching, of course. I finished up this Blackbird Design: "Bird in Hand."
The next bird, which I started today is from Filigram's "Mountain Collection." "Snow Ptarmigan."
I am stitching it on a darkish Lakeside in 40 count; I'm unsure of which color I'm using.
The called for threads are Gentle Art. I had everything but one color in my stash, but I was able to substitute. I spent some pleasant time stitching this today while it snowed gently outside. How luxurious to stitch snowflakes in front of the fire while it snows.
I have put a little time into "Holy Moses" by Silver Creek Samplers." I've been working on this several years and would like to finish it this year.
And here is the bird tree, which I purchased from Amazon. $29! I had thought of buying the 8 foot tree--this one is a little over 3 feet and fits nicely in the niche above the fireplace. I'm looking forward to filling it with birds and perhaps other animals, and then transferring everything to a larger tree when I run out of room. Still, there's quite a bit of room on this tree. I'm quite satisfied with my purchase and although I have a lot of bird charts in my stash, I'm looking forward to finding more birds to stitch and the fabrics to back them.
Happy week!

Your stitching is lovely! I'm especially enamored of the BBD Bird in Hand - the color is gorgeous! Did you use the called-for red or change it out?

So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right?
