may day!

We’ve enjoyed a wonderful, relaxed May Day here. I even got some stitching done! I ran outside a few minutes ago to get a  picture in the last of the natural light. For anyone interested, my color changes are as follows (unless noted, all silks are from Vicki Clayton):

• 801 - Autumn Leaves/Fire Thorn
• 163 - PennyWort 3445
• white - White Chocolate
• 151 -
• 159 - Pussy Willow
• 161 - Moon-Called Sea
• 310 -
• 3778 - Phlox 1337
• 224 - Phlox 1337 (one strand)
• 739 - Natural Dye Studio “golden rod”
• 498 - Moon-Called Sea

 

I’m about to stitch the hearts, which I plan to change, using a dark reddish-brown silk from HDF (unmarked from a grab bag) and stitching our initials over-one.

Also on a beautiful stitching note, go take a look at the drool-worthy giveaway at Stitch Pink!

On this lovely day, I’ll leave you with a picture of Mother Nature’s abundance in our backyard.
