Some time ago I realized surprisingly
that I had a few finishes with a
common theme of birds and bees.
So off to the framer I went and I now have
a great start to my by very own
"Birds & Bees" wall.
Diane Williams ~ "Joy in the Journey"
Goode Huswife ~ "Bird Tree"
Goode Huswife ~ "In the Bee Man's Garden"
My favorite molding....
BOAF ~ "No Bees No Honey"
The basketweave is perfect....

April has been the busiest month and I
feel like I have been gone more
that I have been home!
Hopefully May will be a little calmer.
I have found time to stitch and am
very close to a finish.
Thanks for all of the birthday wishes...
I did decide to splurge on some
celebrate the occasion!
I will definitely be stitching something so
I can use the cluny trim... it is just yummy!

We are headed to see Alison Krauss tonight
so I better get hopping...
hope you have a good stitchy weekend!
