Two more finishes well almost

 I have finished February and March in the CCN  Cottages of the month and started April. I count these as finishes even though they are all part of a series of 12 which will eventually be one nice large picture. The cottages are stitching up quickly though of course the frogs have been visiting and sometimes it is 20 stitches in 20 stitches out. A bit like the hokey dokey. You can also see that I stitch in hand and my fabric does get a little creased. Next time I will iron it .



A sideways picture of some stash that just happened to fall in my basket while browsing the internet. 

This is a close up of some of the threads I just had to have

  3. Your cottages are so pretty and I just love all the colors in those pieces. Thanks for sharing your STASH acquisitions too! Sorry the frogs visited, but you know it's spring and they are popping up all over! I was cleaning in one of my garden beds and found a little tiny frog and decided it was a sign that I shouldn't stitch that day, lol.

  8. They are turning out nice! I haven't started mine yet but I like that you are doing them on one piece of fabric. What fabric are you using?

  11. They are so nice! I'm very tempted, and that wretched internet shopping makes it all just too easy for things to 'just arrive' in the post, :) Viv in the UK xx

  14. Love your cottages! I have been debating whether to stitch them individually or on one piece of fabric. After seeing your's I think I have my mind made up. I want it just like yours.
