Missing: the month of February

I have no idea where I put it, but it's gone. The Tiger Lily vet drama in the first week seemed to set the tone for the rest of the month. That tone was, "No, you're not getting any stitching done this week." I am way behind on my stitchy schedule but I do have a couple of finishes to show.
 
The first is a little freebie that can be found here: http://thestitcherhood.com/freebies.php
I stitched it on 28 ct. celery gingham linen with Crescent Colors Blooming Crocus and Eve's Leaves, and Gentle Art Buttercrunch. I added a JABCO butterfly button and some tiny heart buttons I found at Hobby Lobby. A quick, fun stitch. I think I'll be doing the other seasons.  Stay tuned.


This one is Texas Home by Redbird Designs, sadly now out of print. This chart was graciously loaned to me by Sandi in Texas. Thank you, Sandi!

Here's the little boot charm I added. It's supposed to be a star, but I had already added a tiny mother-of-pearl star on the flag, so I used a boot.

And here's the stitchy supervisor... supervising. Kinda.
Happy Spring Stitching!

  4. Love your freebie this month! I may steal your idea of the butterfly and something to use for flowers...maybe little tiny flower beads.

  6. Oh so pretty! I love your new banner, too. I've been anxiously awaiting to hear how tiger Lily is doing. (Yes, where did Feb. go?!)

    Have a great weekend, Honeybee.

  8. I just stitched the "Spring" cross stitch design this morning. I did not do near as good a job as you did. I just stitched as I saw the pattern; and I only used aida cloth. I like the way you embellished yours! Great job. Love the heart buttons for the flowers.
