Ta-Da!

Design - "Bluebird Alphabet"
Designer - Just Nan
Fabric - 32 count White Linen
Fibers - DMC & GAST
Started - 29 May 2011
Completed - 26 June 2011

After all my stopping and starting, complaining and fussing, Sunday I regained my stitching mojo in the public library of all places.  I went to return some books and donate a few magazines.  While there I found a comfortable chair, good light, and brought out "Bluebird Alphabet".  The library was quiet, and more importantly I could not walk away to let in a cat, water some plants, run a load of wash, let out a cat, vacuum, mess aimlessly on the Internet, feed a cat.  You get the idea. I just happily stitched away - nice! 

While downtown, I strolled around and admired the many hanging baskets.

At home I admired this BIG guy!
Not a very good picture...but wanted to share my Sunday morning companion!
This large Buck - all in velvet - strolled by the front porch as I was sitting observing nature with the cats.

What a lovely finish, Beth! And I like the idea of stitching in the library. It wouldn't work for me because I work there, though :)

That is one big buck--are his antlers fuzzy? You always have the best nature photographs--I love them!

Wow, that's a large visitor to have in your "garden". I'm sure the cats had something to say.
