A bit more

I've added a couple more areas on my block...


This little cross stitched rose is a pattern I found on the internet (the rose and the larger leaves).  Because it didn't quite fill the area I wanted it to, I added the extra leaves and the buds.
This is another pattern found on the 'net.  The flowers and leaves are done with back stitch that I then 'whipped' with a darker colour.

Today your quote is from Celine Dion..."There's only two days of the year where there's nothing you can control:  yesterday and tomorrow"

    Nice cross stitch. The extra leaves work well. Great links, especially the Lucky Chickens. I would register for the crazy stitch course but time - I don't have enough of it at the moment.

    I do like your rose and buds and leaves. I also really like how you "wrapped" your embroidered flowers. Fun links once again. Good quote for me to remember. I am in no way a control freak however I can stop worrying especially on yesterday and tomorrow.

    I like your addition to the rose. Pretty to begin with , prettier now.
    The blossom blooms look good also and whipping in another colour would enhance them.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
