...how does your garden grow?

Well...
mine has grown

quite a lot

over the past four weeks...

 

 

I started with "sewing"

a row of beautiful

bright

summer daisies :)

 

 

...and it just kind of grew...

 





 

...so how does my garden grow?

It grows a little every day,

and now there are more than enough flowers

for one garden.

There will be two:)

 

Today I am at home,

working in the "garden":)

 

I visited a friend this week,

who has created the most beautiful garden,
over the past couple of years,

and the simple joy of walking

around her garden,

chatting about the plants

and flowers,

was all the more special

when you don't have one of your own.

My mother,

too,

has a heavenly garden.

No matter what time of the year

it always looks so beautiful,

even in the dead of winter.
For me,

gardens have the most amazing ability

to change the way you might be feeling,

always for the better.

 

This was one of my favourite gardens

I visited last year

in the
 tiny French village

of

Hautpoul.

A beautifully recreated

medieval garden...

 

 

 

So when I stitch my flowers,

it feels a little like

I'm gardening,

until I can do it again

for real.

Today I've been setting the flowers

into their garden "beds",

stitching the occasional new one

to fill a gap...

and so my garden grows:)

 

Thank you so much for the lovely comments

left on my last post.
So very kind,
and I'm happy that my wee flowers
make you smile :)
Back to my "gardening" now :)
See you

...I stitch flowers...

I decided to stitch

myself

a garden...

I have no garden where I currently live,

it's a perfectly lovely little unit,

but there are no flowers!

 

Needed that distraction last week,

and decided that bright

summery

flowers

would do the trick :)

 

 

...have to say,

I'm loving the colours

and the texture of the linen :)

 

And it's a wee bit addictive,

this row of flowers...

 

...I stitch a few each night,

and

watch my garden grow :)

 

Corny,

I know,

but who doesn't

feel good

when they see flowers...

 

 

 

 

 

I love flowers!!

I took a gazillion pictures

of quite possibly every flower I saw

when I was away last year:)

(possibly one of the reasons why

a walk in the hills or forest

often seemed to take atleast twice as long

as the recommended time??)

 

...they're an endless source

of inspiration...

 

 

 

 

 

...so many yet to stitch...

 

So I stitch what I love,

and one of the things

I love

is flowers!

 

What about you...

what do you love to stitch?

Stitch what you love,

love what you stitch...

 

See you
