...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
Jenny xx
