IN FOCUS AND ITS MY ANNIVERSARY

It's Sharing the small things in life that make the biggest memories.
Austin Bieda


I'm sure you will all understand my pleasure at being able to see to thread a needle and stitch again !
 I am back working on my Robin's piece this has been a very enjoyable piece to design,  finding all the charts that would bring my idea together, here are a few of them these cute little robins are from a Cross Stitch Crazy magazine's Robin ABC
The quote is from the book The Secret garden and is the inspiration for the piece and I plan to stitch more of these Robins!

BLOG ANNIVERSARY GIVE AWAY
 It is six years since I entered the world of blogging and during those six years I have enjoyed sharing my embroidery with everyone, I have made many new friends and enjoyed the blog writings of  so many talented and wonderful people. Thank you all.   As much as I would love to send something to you all, I must settle for just one gift to go in a draw. I have decided to stitch a few more of the robins and make a collection of  embroidery smalls,( needlework accessories)  six pieces for six years.           If you would like to be in the draw leave a comment on this posting, you must be a follower of my blog to be in the draw.  I will draw the lucky person on June 30th, giving me time to have everything stitched and ready for posting by then.
 For now I am back to the fireside and my stitch.

oh, your robins are just so so so sweet! and I love that quote, I've read The Secret Garden when I was a child and loved it so so much..
quick question: could it be that the magazine the came with it this?

I would love to purchase a back-issue but wanted to be sure it's the right one, they say it features a Robin ABC but since it's not on the cover I cannot tell if it's the one you're using. thank you!
and SUPER CONGRATULATIONS ON 6 YEARS OF BLOGGING!!
thank you for the adorable idea for a drawing, that's so so nice :)
ciao! and happy xxx!

So glad to hear you can stitch again. For someone like you, the withdrawal must have been very anxiety-producing. Love the cute little robins.. a great illustration of the sentiment.

Beth said...
