March Flower Completed!


Just a quick check in to show off my latest completion (sans the flower name underneath) for the Flower of the Month SAL.....the Daffodil (or Jonquil if you prefer!)

Another update coming very soon as I'm so close to finishing Springtime Joy!

Mid-March Cross Stitch Progress!


First and foremost is the progress of the project I spent most of Feb working on. Blue Jays Birdhouse!





This is where I left off at the end of Feb. I REALLY love working on this and it was hard to put away to work on this month's flower....

 However, once I started working on the Jonquil (Daffodil as I know it), I can't pull myself away from it! I'm so ready for Spring and my Daffodils are poking through the dirt as I type this, yay!!!!



 This is my progress as of the middle of March. The last of the second flower, one more shade of green in the stems and the rest of the border to finish it off! I love it! I need to add the flower names before I start next Month's flower.

 I WAS going to go back to stitching the Blue Jays after finishing the flower......but......after seeing Springtime Joy in the April 2015 issue of Just Cross stitch.....It moved to the top of my list!

 I will be stitching this on 32ct Chalice Belfast linen from Picture This Plus, with these scrumptuous hand dyed floss colors from Weeks Dye Works, Crescent Colors and Gentle Arts! Update coming soon!
