I started and finished this little cutie this week. It's by Sam Sarah and it's called B is for Bee. It's pretty untypical of my taste, but I just fell in love with the little bees! I stitched it using the recommended fabric and Weeks fibers, however I did switch the white wings to "Whitewash" because it's what I had on hand. I don't think that I'm going to add the letter B button in the middle as the chart calls for, but I haven't yet decided on if I'll add the rose buttons... If anyone out there is interested in the chart, I have placed it up on my Sale/Trade blog.
Next up is my new start...(edited to add the name of this chart!!! It's Sea to Shining Sea by LHN) I started this today while watching Persuasion with two girlfriends. Our husbands and kids were outside playing basketball and we were inside having much needed girl time! I am stitching this over 1 on 32 ct. Vintage Sea Storm linen.
The scissors that you see in this picture are 4 inch Ginghers...so you get an idea for how tee-nincey this thing is (the gap in the brown stitches is the 1/2 way point)! I got the idea for the blue linen from Nicole and I got the over 1 idea from the Shepherd's Bush blog...so I guess it's an unoriginal collaboration of ideas for me!!! Either way, it's just too cute in person (click on pic to see it a bit larger).That's about it for me. It's been a week in between posts, which I don't like, but that's life these days! I can't complain, though. My boys have both been well for a week straight now (fingers crossed!).
Have a great week, and Happy Stitching!

Darling little bees!
I LOVE the way you are stitching Sea to Shining Sea. That is going to be gorgeous!!! And congrats on your finish. :)
Glad everyone is well this week. :)
Persuasion is one of my favorite Jane Austen movies. I have only seen the BBC version (not sure if there are other versions).
Love your new start and over one stitching is just gorgeous! :)
