In the Garden of Delights



Found things in Garage Sales



Not sure if this is vintage , seems like a character doll from a children's book, but I LOVE his shoes. These lace up shoes(espadrilles) were very popular in the 70's.

Bata Shoe Museum (check out the heels on these shoes-phew!)

Was given things from Garage Sales



Jafapal Karen found this Pure linen 50"x 70" crosstitch printed tablecloth in mint condition and gave it to me. Thanks Karen! It's beautiful to work on.

 Stitching Away



Mr. GobbleHead
Added the flower -Long and Short Stitch
French Knots
and started working on Graffiti Style text-long & short stitch with 4 colours. It's quite tedious but I'm enjoying it.


and have been delighting in my garden



which seems to blossom with mad abandon.

lol, sheree, thanks.

Yea, I saw the shoes first and then the rest of the doll second and knew he had to come home with me and sit in my studio.

Wonderful garden! And I envy your embroidery talents. I tried to pick up some 1/2 finished cross stitch projects and the brain just couldn't do it...what does one do with a half finished project?
