A Bridge and a Few Swans

Let's start with the swans.  I have been working on Curtis Boehringer's 12 Days of Christmas designs, off and on, for a while.  I decided to stitch with wool felt on a cotton background.  Here is Seven Swans a Swimming.  (That's a lot of necks!)

Seven Swans a Swimming

I have also finished Block 3, Packhorse Bridge, from The Raspberry Rabbits.  Lots of specialty stitches added to this one.  The sparkly threads for the water are one of my favorite parts.

Sunflower Caravan

Finally!!  I feel as though I have been stitching on Block 3 of Briarside Lane by The Raspberry Rabbits F O R E V E R!!  It is a fun, gypsy-type caravan with lots of decorations.  Take a look:

I was unable to make the wheels as shown on the chart, so I came up with something else!

Bumbles

There's something about the chubby, little bodies that I find appealing of those bumble bees.  So, another little sketch turned into a water color.

Harley

I made another Harley the Hedgehog....this one, stitched.

Baaaby Bubs Sheep

"Bubs,"  a nickname little Sammy has from his Mom and Dad.  Hence, we have little Baaaby Bubs Sheep.

A prickly post...

Ha!  Ha!  Yes, a little, prickly hedgehog!  A lot of fun to create...in fact, I am thinking maybe this one should also be stitched!  And this one has a name, too.  Say "Hello!" to Harley!  Is it a girl or boy?  Haven't decided just yet...so the name Harley can be used for either.

A Fox and A Sheep

Hmmm....ordinarily not a good combination!  But here is my Little Bo Sheep all ready for Easter.

And, some one new!  He/she needs a name; what shall it be?
