Gentle Friends, as you might remember we buy flowers weekly for the house... since most of the florists and smaller flower stands have been shuttered up for a few months we'd had to depend on the flower from Safeway (our grocery store) Now, usually they will last a few days but recently we had some last for almost two solid weeks... and these tea roses have been blown and lovely for all of this week, I did find a petal on the floor this morning when I was taking the snap, but I recut the stem, removed most of the leaves and I think we can get a couple more days out of them.....
... we'll pick up some new ones in the morning...
_________________
I'ver been stitching away, not as quickly as usual but I did get all the grass-finished up and started on the couple... I'm going to change up some of the colors as this is a really brown/green sampler and a few hits of color won't hurt...
... I've already changed out the floss for the pants and her eyes from the Hickory Sticks called for to Blacksmith Blue and a pale blue DMC that was sitting in my stitching basket... more changes to come!! Whoops, I almost forgot I also changed the Hickory Sticks for the bird to a WDW Kohl so it's now a blackbird... Hickory Sticks by CC is the default colour for so much of this piece.....

Have a super weekend. Stay Safe!
Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

Beautiful flowers. Love having flowers, they are a little touch of luxury that make any room look better. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rose color.
ReplyDeleteNobody wants dull brown pants!! Nice change.
Beautiful roses, Edgar! Super progress on the LHN sampler! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnother great project it looks. I recently got some of the blacksmith blue and really like it. The roses are gorgeous. I don't have good luck with roses most times...so many die before even opening...and yes, I've tried all the little "tricks" of recutting the stems under water, removing leaves, etc. I think they don't like me much LOL. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday Edgar! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteThose roses are still beautiful. Your stitching is coming along very well. I always like to see the color changes you make.
