I've received lots of comments on compliments on my June header. Many thanks. A couple of folks have asked about specific elements so I thought I'd try to enumerate the designers and charts.

Hope this helps anyone wanting to stitch something on the header. And, no- these are not all the Bee motifs I've stitch - there are still others that I did not include in the header! If anyone has further questions they can leave a comment or email me.
It's time for another Tuesday Garden Party, and I must begin with my Garden Grumble. I bought a lovely little birch tree the first weekend in May. It's the back pot in this group of four - it had a nice form and delicate leaves until...(Can you hear the "Theme from Jaws" playing in the background?)...until...
Saturday night when a deer decided it was "Mmmm, Mmmm good"!
Darn it! I think there are enough leaves and branches that it can survive. It is now a hostage inside a deer-proof cage. I just never thought about the deer munching on a small tree - goes to show!
Score - Deer One - Beth Zero
On my recent trip to Portland, I found (and purchased) some pots at Ikea and Crate and Barrel.
Pots are like plants - you can't have too many!

Sorry the deer ate your little tree...they will eat most anything I think. They ate my rose bushes last summer. Love the pots!
I guess there are a few advantages of living closer into town, we don't usually think of not having deer eat our plants, as one of them, but I think it could be. I live at the north end of the WV. Those darn deer are cute to look at but can do a lot of damage. Sorry about your plants! Love, love, love your sampler!
I am just..........that header. My husband is a beekeeper and now I feel like I have to search out every single one of those to buy up and stitch. EVERY SINGLE ONE. What have you *done* to me?????? lol
Thanks for posting all the charts used for that adorable header, all your headers make me want to rush out and stitch each one. Sorry about your pest of a deer.
Thank you for posting your charts that appear in your header! And you just never know what deer are going to eat! Or rabbits for that matter. I never knew that they love, love petunia - or at least mine! UGH!
Thanks for posting the charts. It's a so lovely header. How did you create that header? Photoshop?
You must live at a fantastic spot to have so many beautiful wild live in your garden. A deer!!!!
Wonderful pots! I have been drooling over those bird ones in the Crate and Barrel catalog...I must get over there and pick some up!
I know I've said this before, but your headers are always so wonderful...thanks for naming everything...I would like to make a couple of those!
Your header is great--thanks for naming everything in it!
Love your bee stitching - would love to see more! Great for getting ideas of patterns to order! They are awesome. Love your blog too!
Thanks for the info on your header. I too like to stitch bees, but never seem to get as much done as I would like!
