New Stitching Project
I just love embroidery and needlework...it is so relaxing and I love the look. It is just fun to create, as many of you will agree. I tried an experiment and designed this pendant this past week. It is a little "Shabby Chic" and a little "Modern Victorian".
It is a mixed media pendant with both new and vintage bits on it--new charm and beads, vintage pearls, lace, and buttons. It has been listed in my Etsy shop, but I thought I'd share it here to see what you think.
Blooming Cherry Tree
This is the cherry tree that my kids bought me for Mother's Day several years ago.
I love watching the buds as they turn from deep pink to light pink as the open during the spring.
The dark pink process seems to have been longer this year perhaps to cool temps and cloudy days. Regardless, it has been a pleasure to watch...especially when a goldfinch or robin happens to perch in its branches. Oh, the hummingbirds have returned this past week too. We saw three yesterday. They are such little delights...and it was such a long winter.
