In my last post I said I had a great picture of Kirby to share with you and here it is! To think that many years ago people were put in the *stocks* as a form of punishment - maybe they should bring them back to deter petty criminals?

The sun is out; my chores are done; my book is to hand and the lounger in the garden awaits!

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Your stitching is just perfection, Carol! I love the little sheep--so cute. Looking forward to seeing your progress on this one :)

Enjoy your lounge in the garden and please send some of that warm, sunny weather across the ocean! It was only a bit above freezing when I got up this morning...

I love that design and stitched it recently as a SAL with Angela.
Yours looks lovely in the silks.
I'll be interested to see how you decide to finish it.
Great pic of Kirby ;)

I love this design - I think its the way the clouds and birds cross over from one square to another. Thank you for noting your HDF conversions too. irene xxx
