Well it will be soon , with the Queen's Jubilee in June .
So I thought I would finish the last few stitchies of Dame Gateaux by Tralala Collection .
So here is the sweet stitch that I enjoyed stitching so much.
Placed on a metal tray but if I use magnets I could stand it up on my dresser .
This is just to show the backing fabric.
Stitched with a green 28 ct out of my bag of cross stitched bits .
----------------------------------------
To the garden now , we had rain today but now the sun is back out .
A new bug house and we will be looking for a butterfly house next .
Trying to get more insects in and already this year there are more butterflies .
Now the summer is almost here , I don't have so many hours to stitch .
So at the end of my post I will show some past stitching , last time I had many comments saying they loved to see my past stitching , some I keep and lots go for gifts and to the family . So I will tag on the end of my post each week , and hope you enjoy .
This one I stitched for myself I wonder why .
Thread keeper was a gift.
Ok my friends have a lovely week , enjoy the weather and stitching .
I'm sure all of England is buzzing about the Queen's Jubilee, June--really an amazing reign! I love the sweet piece that you finished and it looks so pretty on the pale green fabric. I enjoyed seeing the variety of your older cross stitched pieces--it's fun to try different styles and colors. Beautiful, beautiful garden and that is great news about the butterflies. Hope you can attract even more. Have a wonderful week, my friend ♥
ReplyDeleteDear June, I like the "Cake Lady" an also the elegant lady in her quilted 9?0 coat. Two very different styles.
ReplyDeleteWow! you have a tomato growing already. It's been so cold here the store doesn't even have tomato plants for sale yet. I planted potatoes and collards ;-))
Cheerio,
Ursula
Všetky výšivky sú krásne a zabrali veľa času :-)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
DeleteJune: I see on the news everyone is so excited about the Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth is so cute and adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour new finish is lovely, the tray is a perfect finish for that sweet design.
As always, your garden makes my heart happy.
It is always fun to see past stitching designs.

Gosh your work is always so beautiful June. A small group of my friends are doing stitch alongs for cross stitch in autumnal themes (I am not included as I am not a cross stitcher). It is lovely to see their work & how they make it up - one friend has made hers into a strawberry. Your garden is looking wonderful & full of colour. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching. My English friends here in my town are very exciting for the Queen's
ReplyDeletejubilee. I think whole GB will celebrate.
Your garden looks so beautiful and the birds and the bees and the butterflies will enjoy.
Have a great week
Profitez bien du soleil et du jardin et passez une belle semaine ma chère June
ReplyDeleteUm hello June, I’m afraid I’m one of those readers that “lurk” on your blog - but could you tell me the name of the cross stitch pattern/artist of the art deco lady - she is sooo like my sister-in-law.

La Dame gateaux ce l'ho anch'io e presto la ricamerò, mi piace tanto!! Ho anch'io una casetta per gli insetti ed è piena di api, è bello poter pagare il nostro debito con la natura con le piccole cose
ReplyDeleteA really pretty motif from Tralala. And such beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, you should do what you like and what makes you happy.
