Lizzieland and Hostland


Design - "Flora McSample's Stitch Lesson Sampler"
Designer - Lizzie Kate
Fabric - 28 count Lilac Cashel linen
Floss - WDW & Crescent Colors
Started - 16 April 2011
Completed - 25 April 2011


Pretty cute and a nice piece for a youngster (pre-teen, early teen) to learn some new stitches - Rice Stitch, Fan Stitch, Rhodes Stitch, Eyelet Stitch, and Satin Stitch - and working with beads.
While the rains and cool weather continue, Spring nonetheless attempts to "March on to May".

How can you not be happy looking at this Pansy? 

And I am so pleased with my Hostas...

I over-wintered them on the front porch - just shoved the pots under an old picnic bench.

We had two or three spells of very cold weather - 10F-15F and I took no extra precautions...

It would appear that almost all the Hostas survived and are getting ready for another year's show.
