Roses Are Red
(Added a Sunday Update)

A dozen roses arrived here on the 14th Feb. They look lovely standing in the kichen window.

It has been a busy week. I finished the halloween scissor fob off which I had start last weekend as a train project. As you can see I am stitching it together by hand. This allows me to create a beaded edging =)

Part Two of the "How Does your Garden Grow" mystery came out last weekend. So I have already stitched my piece. Part 2 added a small area on the sides which did not take very long.
Its a nice weekend so planning to get the bathroom rug washed out and on the line. Then catch up with ...oh ... perhaps some stitching ....LOL !


Had a nice surprised this week. This crossed stitched card arrived from my Aunt June. Now I know June is just starting with cross stitch and I was thrilled to recieve this. =)

Sunday Update

This weekend I got round to finishing off the TW Autumn Sampler. My friend C stitched the over one panel for me ages ago so I thought I should finish it off. TW has said that the next one will be coming out soon too =)

Also this week my Beltain mask has arrived. I saw the work of this Artist on Etsy and loved all the masks he had on show. Selected this one as I thought it would be great for dressing up for the Burning Man/Beltain eveing at Butser Achient Farm. Although this is called "autumnal maple mask"...
The Artist is Donovan Soland...Click this link to see more of his work on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5495766 Makes me wish I had long hair again as some of the hair slides are stunning !!

So I thought I would end with another photo of the roses =)
