I am still here playing and hopefully will be better at posting more often.  Just wanted to share a late but fun birthday present.  It is so nice when you can treat yourself...lol...

Spring Fever

A bad case of spring fever has arrived. I was looking for birds nests in the stores and not willing the pay the price for shiny new nests with fake flowers stuck to them. While cleaning up some of my flower pots, I wound the long morning glory vines up to throw away. When I looked down in my hand, there was a birds nest. I got so excited...lol... Looks great and free.

I have been sewing and will share some of the projects soon,

my Christmas angel

Thought I would show a picture of my angel that I finished and framed at Christmas time. I rummaged in the garage and found a vintage frame that works well with it. I hate to put her away just yet - so she is living in the guest room for now.

365 stitch a long - day 122 - elongated cross

Another easy stitch to get back in the groove.

Simply stitch an elongated X and cross it with contrasting thread.
