Another Finish

On Saturday the weather was so good I had to work in the garden. The snowdrops are  scattered in our garden, and the daffodils are dying to get out.

 A few cheery pictures on this sunny day, did not last long.

 

 Boy did I ache on Sunday, so  when it  bucketed down, I was quite happy to sit and finish my SSNC, stitching was all done in 2005-06, but the finishing was too daunting then. Because I made a mistake by not stitching the pincushion area in the middle, I figured that sewing a band around it to make it look like a mattress would do the trick, it did work out quite well but a lot of backstitching had to be done. I certainly would not have thought of it 6 years ago!

Otherwise the rest was easy to assemble and just in time for Valentine ’s Day, the verse is so appropriate. May your Valentine wish come true today and have a good one :)) 

For you PB

My friend Michele who lives between the USA and Doha send me these gorgeous scissors, the leather falcon hood she found on a Falconry market in Doha and the Lovely Milkmaid in PA, love it!, Thank you Michele, hope your Paris l'Aguille en fete trip was very good!!  Looking at Cote Passion’s blog is was fabulous:) and now regret that I did not go, but we cannot have our cake and eat it too:)) who on earth thought that one up, it's not in my dictionary .)

In the meantime I did start a very tiny sampler with gorgeous silks. I am not a big fan of silk, it always seems to hang on my fingers, unless I sit down for a manicure.

It’s from the Remember Me series designed by Historic Stitches, Williamsburg Lady, Williamsburg a city  which I would love to visit one day.

Thank you for your wonderful comments, you guy’s make my day:)) Also a big Hello to my Followers, I do know you’re there and appreciate it very much!! Doing this blogging nearly 2 years now it never ceases to amaze me how interested you are in my stitching world, a big thank you:))
