Blooms, Bees & Butterflies

 I hope that the past week has been kind to you and that you have something nice planned for the weekend. Hopefully it will include a little bit of crafting and whatever you are doing please join in at Allsorts where you can share Anything Goes or opt to use our optional theme which, this week, is

Blooms, Bees and Butterflies as chosen by Ellie

I have something different to share with you today. I had a bit of a sort out last weekend and found some little cross stitch pattern books that came free with magazines decades ago. I found they had some really sweet, quick patterns so I dug out my embroidery thread, chose some colours and made this...


In real life, edge to edge including frame, it's about four inches. 

I hope that you will join us for a chance to win a prize from one of our lovely sponsors.


See you soon xx

Such a fun decoration Sarah. The butterflies are relishing this sunny weather even if we aren't! All sheep shorn and much happier for it even if the portable genny failed and they had to go to the sheds in batches! :)

What a great find, Sarah and it's so cute too! Perfect for our theme! I used to cross stitch a bit before I discovered papercrafting.

This is so sweet. i love to cross stitch, but it is so time consuming that I don't do it so much these days. Those tiny patterns make it very doable and so cute too xx
