I went shopping this morning. Easter candy is out. Uh-oh. I came home with some spiced jelly beans. I'm not sure exactly what flavor they are, I thought they might be like spice drops We'll see.
The amaryllis buds are out and starting to flower but aren't open yet. If I had to bet, I'd say they were going to be red.
I quit procrastinating and started the other short side of Home Sweet Home. I got the last window done.
Then I used a stitch new to me, Hungarian braid on the stem of the sweet pea. I have to wrap it with another thread. I goofed too. I made a stem out of Hungarian braid and it is actually supposed to be done in another stitch. I may just leave it.
Mandy asked what FlossTube videos I recommend. There are some really nice people out there that do videos. The ones I like to hear from are Stitcherista (sometimes profane), Jo Gregoire, StitchinPetunia, Jirrine, Tash the star-crossed stitcher, The Yellow House Stitcher, McKenna, Pam's Crafty Corner and Kay's Cross Stitch. There are others as well. I have to confess that after watching some of these videos, I feel like I'm not so bad with all my mess and stash. I've also gotten some good ideas.

The banner will be cute.
ReplyDeleteI also saw Easter candy already.
Black Jelly Beans are my all-time favorite. :)

Hello Amy, oh your progress on the banner has been quick, so cute. Thank you for the recommendations for flosstube, I shall look forward to a bit of quiet time. Our shops are full of Easter sweets too, never heard of spiced jelly beans, they sound lovely. Good for you doing more on Home Sweet Home. I can't find a pattern I fancy for my sister, I've been looking through loads of books for 2 days. I'll just have to make it up as I go along, we'll see. Regards Mandy
