HEARTS AND EGGS

March is going fast and I have not kept you up to date with what is happening here,  First to share with you these beautiful tatted hearts a gift from Carollyn of Carollyn's tatting blog here is a link to her blog the photo does not do justice to the perfect and so even little knots, how I admire this work my own attempts some years ago were a disaster. Thank you Carollyn  I do love my little hearts.

I have made some more Easter eggs for my tree  seen here as work in progress, I will share my main stitching effort in my next post as I have yet to sort out the photos.
Meanwhile this is my tree this year, think it needs a few more eggs and that will be my effort for next year.

CHALLENGE FOB FOR MARCH

 A new month and another challenge piece, my scissor fob for this month has a tiny grey rabbit on it, I can not give any credit for the design source as I first stitched this design many years ago and no longer have the chart, stitching it this time I copier from the piece I had previously stitched.
Again this time I have mounted it using part of a zip round the edge, more silver jewellery findings make up the decoration, I really must go back to the bead shop and explore what else in available to use in this way.
With Easter being at the end of this month I am planning to add a few more Easter egg decorations to what I made last year for my small tree. Here is the first one another chart I have had in my collection for a long time and was reminded of it when I saw it on Pinterest recently .
Thank you to all who visited my blog postings recently and left comments sorry no replies still trying to catch up after being away. specially the battle with the weeds in the garden
Back in a few days to share what I am stitching and I hope more eggs.
