As much as I adore this pattern, I thought I'd try to add a bit of red over dye in place of 'WDW Rust'.It does add a touch of color, so far, I like itI may even sustitute one of the suggested fibers & add the golden orange overdye.And, if I stopped swapping out fibers, I would already be done with this P.Bird!!!

Spring is popping up in the gardens:

I'm a "difficult" guest!

I am a guest of The Eggplant Owners Gallery AND The Gentry Joint.More information HEREWant your own Eggplant??? Check out The Gentry Joint Store

Flowers from DH

I'm so fortunate to have a loving husband. I appreciate the flowers he sends more than words can express!

Seems like I've accomplished one thing. I'm over the bug that tagged me twice.

Yay - spring has sprung.

I've joined Facebook. I'm so used to blogging names & hesitate to accept invitations when I don't recognize the REAL name of the stitcher. I put a badge on my sidebar, too.

I've been posting more on my Stitches of Life II blog -- as I did read a lot while battling the 'bug from hell'.

I did visit Brauer Museum of Art and Becoming Edvard Munch Art Institute of Chicago, and Chicago Cultural Center -- not the same DAY! I just didn't get up any posts.I'll put them on my other blog next week.

Not any stitching to report -- will post stitching if I get a needle in hand!!!
