I do love the XXXs that you added to the basket, and those french knot flowers are perfect. A very pretty Easter egg. Love the pillow as well.<br /><br />As for that BLUE car…i don't know, not sure I would have left the lot in it. Did you ask for a different, quieter color? Fortunately, it is merely a loaner. <br /><br />LOVED the travel pictures. I can't get over how brown the water is in Río de la Plata! I have never seen water that dirty. <br />The flowers are gorgeous so that makes up for the water. My younger son would love seeing all of the vintage cars. I can't get over the interior of the church,,,why the birds? I do like it but have never seen anything like that in a church. Your photographs are as nice as your stitching.<br /><br />The pic of the Carolina Wren is a riot…Do they always eat upside down? :-)<br />Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158551238078705372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-44204987949792943692016-05-08T00:54:12.937-04:002016-05-08T00:54:12.937-04:00Hi Carol!

That's not good about your car being off the road till the "fix" is in place. I've driven Minis of some form or another for years and would highly recommend them. I used to drive Hondas for many years and enjoyed those too - what's happened to you is bad luck. The upside down wren was cute.Ann at Beadlework.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02053072826180330534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-27787842857545880542016-05-06T16:53:25.111-04:002016-05-06T16:53:25.111-04:00Wonderful post Carol!

I love them all but that little bunny is precious. I have a 2011 Honda CR-V and I heard about the recall but they never said anything about not driving the car! I am going to have to go back and read the letter they sent. I can't wait to see your Patagonia pictures! =Dvaleriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904215812180267706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-60664628944328628312016-05-06T15:54:05.405-04:002016-05-06T15:54:05.405-04:00Your finishes are very wonderful.

But most especially I want to thank you for mentioning the safety recall. I too received a very vague letter about a recall issue and that I would be notified when parts were available. As it didn't seem urgent, I disregarded the letter. After seeing your post, I related it to my husband who did some research .....and I am now driving a very dull beige rental!

I knew I would not be satisfied with my french knots. And the finishing is not disappointing! That sure is a bright blue car, at least you were able to get a loaner. The photos of Colonia del Sacramento are so interesting. It is nice to see other areas of the world ( I know I will never go there) from someone's perspective. I love the old cars and trucks along the road. Thanks for sharing! Hope the storms in your area are not too bad. It is that time of year and we have had our share of storms already. Have a great weekend.<br /><br />Judy Heartland stitcherWill a stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041645384461711533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-25707144304195539372016-04-27T11:07:57.116-04:002016-04-27T11:07:57.116-04:00Your bunny with the blue flowers is beautiful!

Here it is (if you would like to hear what the toured church is named after) <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEqnw9rFHTA<br />brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it or sing it. I love that hymn!<br />The birds are very odd, but they do add a poetic justice to the dignified sanctuary. What a lovely church!<br />I adored looking at your pictures of Sacramento. It reminds me of St. Augustine, it has that Latin/Old world flavor with cobbled streets and tropical flair. Love it!<br />Your finishings are absolutely perfect...each stitch divine and lovely...and makes me want to run out and stitch everything blue and brown that I can find!

Blue and brown has always been a favorite combination of mine. I love the Tralala bouquet! So pretty! I may have to track it down. And oh my, that car! I'm afraid I would have to request/insist on a different one. : ) The last two cars I've bought have been black. I feel inconspicuous in black. : ) I have so enjoyed your trip photos and appreciate you sharing them! I especially loved all of the colorful blooms and even though they have seen better days, I know my father would have loved those old cars.
