The birdbath melted!... And other thoughts

 

Now this may not show the birdbath in all of its glory. The point here, that is water people!!!! Not the chunk of ice that has been present just way too long. Ahh, it is in the 60's today. It was just in the 30s a few days ago. Blessed relief. Please refer back to this joy of warmer temperatures when I am grumbling about the heat in August. I know that will come just as surely as scripture says "..and night followed day." So enjoy this musical and visual promise of spring to come.


And in other news...


A peek at some embroidery to bring baby home. Do you know how badly I want to rinse that blue marker out so I can enjoy the sweetness of it? Patience is not my long suit.

 

Tiny little rosebuds from one strand of floss and a tiny needle complete the smocked skirt. As soon as I get the sleeves and yoke embroidered it is onto construction. Stay tuned. 


And also stay tuned for a give away to celebrate 100+ followers. I feel like Sally Field, "You love me, you, really, really love me!" (Do you think she ever lived that down?) Give me a couple of days. Since I am feeling "pink" I think it will be a pink giveaway. Be watching.

  4. I am glad that you are passing along how you are just using one strand of floss for this tiny little creation. Everything in life needs to be in proportion and for a newborn the less dense threads look so much better. Your bullions are gorgeous, as always.
