Marvellous March.
Posted on | March 18, 2015 | 17 Comments
I can’t believe how quickly the leaves are starting to change colour now that March is well under way. Even when we are still having warm days – tomorrow is forecast to be over 30c.
And that Easter Bunny is just around the corner, too.
I had started this Easter stitchery last year, but, as often happens, other priorities took over and it was left on the sidelines.
I was determined to finish it this year and turn it into a mini. The pattern is from Bird Brain designs and the thread is Hugs N Kisses from Cottage Garden Threads.
I seem to be making slow but steady progress on several projects at the moment. Lots of busy time is being spent with family matters so not a lot of stitching happening.
My Jacobean embroidery is nearing the finish line.
And a little addition has happened on the snowman mat.
Some sheep have been given their warm wooly coats.
The sheep are made up of hundreds of french knots in 8 ply wool. Hard work on the fingers but a lovely end result.
Yes, they need faces and legs. I will get on to that next.
We seem to be continuing on with our sporting glut here. The Australian Grand Prix was last weekend, water skiing the one before, football has started and cricket is still going.
I chose none of those and went to the Monbulk Quilt show instead. No photos but a lovely day.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Cheers, Karen

A quilt show over sporting events! Of course, who wouldn’t. Lol. Loving your stitching.
Your embroidery is beautiful. I like the snowmen but am kind of tired of the snow as we got 5″ on the first day of spring!!!
Your projects are beautiful Karen. Your Bunnny will be pleased he’s been finished in time for Easter this year, such a cutie. Your Jacobean work is amazing – you do look close to finishing and I just love your adorable sheep!
Hello Karen,
You are the stitching queen. Just love the detail in all your embroidery especially the Jacobean one. The sheep are so cute.
Have a great weekend.
Happy days.

Very cute Easter bunny stitchery and your Jacobean embroidery is gorgeous! Love those cute snowmen and sheep. Can’t imagine doing hundreds of French knots! :)
Slightly cooler days here too, love it! Enjoy March!
Those sheep are wonderful…well worth the sore fingers!
All other projects are beautiful as well. Xox
Your Jacobean embroidery is truly a work of art. Amazing.
Your hand stitching is always so pretty! The bunny is just too cute (and the snowmen!). I’ve never seen sheep made that way, but it’s very effective. Can’t wait to see them completed!
