Happy Dance- Spring Jack

Good afternoon dear friends

May I introduce to you Spring Jack (with 5 o'clock shadow).  I did him on 28ct. sky blue linen and used the alt DMC threads.  This was a nice easy project with few color changes.



I have 3 Tulips, Tea and Crumpets and several other projects in my basket, but since it is near summer, I decided to pick up my WIP of Two Yellow Houses by LHN, I keep telling myself to finish what I have instead of starting more, I have several wips waiting for my attention.  I also received in todays mail Little Sheep Virtues- Courage by LHN.  I still need to finish 2,3,and now 4.

Today has been a beautiful day.  I spent the early morning weeding and clipping shubbery, then I sat on my swing and stitched happily as the weather is warm, the breeze is gentle and all was quiet.

I hope everyone has a blessed day as I have...

PS- as I look out the window it is pouring rain, geesh

Hugs and Stitches
Dawn

  4. Hi Dawn, how beautiful! We had some nice and sunny days and I spent some time on my swing, knitting and stitching. My alphabet sampler is growing, but slowly. I join you in your happy spring dance :-))
    Love Sabine

  5. I haven't seen the Spring Jack design before, I like the cute little bird with the hat in his "hair".

  6. With that picture Jack's shadow isn't visible. It looks amazing. Think my weather is about to change today - it has been gorgeous this week hasn't it?
