Making progress on my pretty lady.........
This is my after hours project...but.... she is coming along.. we do learn with every project and this lesson is pick your fabric carefully... I should have used something a little stronger because the stitching pulls the fabric in... I think I will be able to fix it and I may be the only one who sees it but still. when you put a lot of work into something use the best.. the fabric is good it is just a loose weave should have used something with more substance! Happy Day All you lovely people out there!!!! = ^..^ =
Some pictures!!!!!
O.k. I am making some progress.....or should I say Mr. Holly is making some progress..so I will post what I can.. this is the year of the daffodil here at Seaview cottage They are just beautiful this year.. Our home was a small ( tiny ) cottage built in 1912.... I grew up on this street but not in this house. We had a neighbor who lived next door to us who owned her home and this cottage the land with. she adored my parents...in 1962 she sold this to my parents for a song..... she really wanted to give it to them but my parents would not have it. They had NO money and somehow they managed a tiny loan.....sooooo this is the great gift to our family and I am really just the caretaker...Mum and Dad are now here in spirit.. my mum was the greatest gardener and this spot has her soul.... she planted all the bulbs , hundreds of them... she always said " plant bulbs and you will live forever!!!! She was right!!!!!

Trouble in the computer photo world !!!
Well, I have lots to share with you BUT I can not get to my pictures......they are stuck in a mystery file and I can not find them......
I have garden and kitty and embroidery and........I've made an Easter dress for my dear friends sweet little 1 year old daughter...tomorrow I am making a bonnet to match....it has been so much fun to do... I embroidered the bodice with little pink, white and the softest of greens...I hope to be able to show it to you tomorrow..
I think I may just have to make the big computer purchase.... :( it's not that I haven't known this was coming but it is still big....and I'm going apple!!!! I think apple is going to be more user friendly ...at least for the things that I want to do.
Well, I hope I'll be back with pictures but if not Happy Easter to you all!! And a big thank you to all the people who have left lovely comments..it is so fun to meet all the wonderful people out there!!!!!
