Next is Shepherd's Bush "My Earth" in progress (with before & after pics). I picked it back up several days ago & you can see my progress on it. I do hope to finish it soon. I ordered the mats from Jill Rensel & they should be here around May 1st or so. :-) I think it's so cute.... I'm still trying to decide if I want to add the words, such as grass, sunshine, etc... Right now I'm leaning towards leaving them off, so we'll see.
Before... (as of March 31st I think)
After (as of April 15th)
I have also sent out two exchanges today that I've recently stitched. I'll show you those after they have been received.
Oh, and here is the "Spring Exchange" that I sent to Becky SC last week. I think this is the cutest polka-dot fabric, and shouldn't we all "Be Hoppy" all the time? ;-) It was a simple stitch, but Becky kept telling me to keep it simple, so I took that to heart this time. I have her "Summer" project already figured out & it will be a bit more than this was, hope she'll be happy with it! :-)
Be sure to see my post below this one about the Online Needlework Show.
Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stitching!
