It pops with those brighter colour changes and the white against the burch linen. Garden Samplers is one of my favourite chart books, made famous of course, by that iconic birdhouse which appeared on that Neighbourhood sampler that inspired us all into action making our own so many years ago. I'm so happy I always liked PS and have quite a few of their early charts as well as the more recent ones. <br />Funny you should mention changes in taste as I have recently become very fond of butterflies, not so much in stitching but using them in paper crafting, whereas I really didn't really like them at all.<br />Thanks for sharing that lovely video of the fawn family. It's something we would never see here in England. Also enjoyed reading about your trip to the Spy Museum. What an interesting place that sounds and the last place you would ever imagine finding a cross stitched piece :-)<br />Hope you have a nice weekend with your friends and do manage to get some well earned rest and stitching time too. <br /> angelaswebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450570230777338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-84348078688007169042017-08-28T18:33:03.224-04:002017-08-28T18:33:03.224-04:00The Bee piece is so pretty.

Love your finished piece - I am like you and usually stitch one thing at a time - at the most, may have two projects going. I do find that I have to psych myself up to start a big piece though! Hope your dinner party was fun and you found a little time to sit and stitch over the weekend or through this week!

I am with Jo, as soon as I started reading the words I thought of Lewis Carroll! My tastes in stitching change all of the time - hence my constantly growing pile of WIPs and UFOs and sometimes when I pick one up for Friday Frolics that is very old, I look at it in wonder and think "Why on earth did I choose to stitch this?" The fawns look so cute, gambolling away on your lawn. And, I am so happy that you are making lots of happy memories this year - treasure them.Kaisievichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-59384613777904001752017-08-22T11:23:30.011-04:002017-08-22T11:23:30.011-04:00Hi Carol, long time no see!

I haven't seen a Prairie Schooler chart that I wouldn't love to stitch but the Garden Verses book is one of my favourites. Giving your piece more pink didn't take away anything of its charm, in the contrary :) <br />Bee charts have become very popular lately and I have to admit that I love them as well. I often watch these little guys when they are buzzing around in our garden visiting shrubs and flowers.<br />A nice piece of stitching that you discovered in the museum. Sounds very interesting to visit a Spy Museum. But you are right, craft stores and tea parlors aren't bad either, lol.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-69622420412767519262017-08-21T18:19:16.947-04:002017-08-21T18:19:16.947-04:00bees / bee skeps have long been a favorite motif o...bees / bee skeps have long been a favorite motif of mine - I must have over a dozen framed pieces.
