I Like It ! uh huh, uh huh

Je t'aime... and some little flowers on monet linen. How good does it get!

The linen is some my sister sent me, and I always said "I like it" when I came across it while chosing linen for my embroidery. When I saw t his "J t"aime" embroidery, I knew I had the right thing for this cloth. I intend to put it in a hoop frame, and put it in my Peppers2 store. This was really fun to do. especially chosing the floss. For the flowers, I used two different colors together.

The little bird has just been transered to linen , and will be my next project in embroidery. You can see the floss colors I have chosen, with bright red for the bird. I will use two colors together (again) for the pine cone.

Is It My Birthday? .... No!

I was beginning to think it was my birthday yesterday when the mail came and there was a package from my Sister. She knows (of course) that I have been doing a lot of embroidery lately. In fact, I asked her where to go to buy some nice linen to embroider on. She gave me the name of a place on the internet. Well, I had some linen (not a lot), and thought I would use that for now. Then she called and said she would send me a few pieces she had that were extras. I was thrilled.

The package that arrived was just chuck full of lots and lots of linen. All colors... even purple and peach. As you can see from the picture, I will be supplied with embroidery linen for a very long time. This was soooo special!! Just can't wait now to get going and do something with it all.

She also sent a little cross stitch she did. I have 3 more of these and they are just adorable. I guess now I could call it a "collection". This new one will get put up on the wall with the other 3 in the morning. (Too hot now to wield a hammer)

Sisters are special!!
