I am nearly done with the Cottage Conservatory. I'd like to finish-finish it today into it's little valise. It has been fun to stitch.
I put in African Violets between the blue flowers.
I got good mail yesterday. The Drawn Thread kits I ordered just last Thursday arrived. Yeah! But you know what that means - I was tempted to start something new. I just put in the little bee that is in the corner of Summer Jumble.
I think it would be fun to just put in one square a day. So I might just put in the "S" square today. There is less than a square inch of stitching in each square. It could be done in no time. This is a fun stitch too.
I had my last time with Dylan yesterday. Children grow up and get older. I wish him the best.
I got two humps done on the second petal of the carnation.
Annette was very kind when she said it looked good. I wear my fancy pants glasses to be able to see each stitch and therefore not accidentally skip one.
Tessa asked about the floral alphabet that I got my "A" from.
There isn't a floral alphabet. I am a great admirer of C.A. Wells designs. On one of her designs she put a C and A on top of each other.
I loved the A that has a tulip in the center and use that as my initial on many needlework projects. A clever person could design an alphabet that uses a tulip or flower with each letter I suppose.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your Conservatory "in person"!
I am too busy to start my spring casket accessories , oh my what a job that is!
It is always sad to say goodbye but I am sure Dylan will treasure many wonderful memories and so will you of course.
