Where did March go?

Can anyone tell me where March went??? It seems that it never existed, as it went by so fast! I've totally been busy all (well, most of) this time, just not near Blogger! Let's see... yardwork, taxes, closet organizing, starting the garden, and sometimes just nothin' :)

I stitched this and sent to my daughter to celebrate the beginning of spring.

And the back:

While rummaging in my stash I found this old WIP that I know I must have started sometime around 1988. Not a lot left to do, so I thought it would look cute as a small patriotic pillow for the chair in my kitchen. So it's finished!

Then this cute little bunny begged to be stitched, also with a small pillow in mind. The addition of the tiny, tiny buttons was just perfect!

I loved working this piece, and want to have it framed real soon. This was my "travel" project. I have to choose another small canvas and get it ready to "go".

I couldn't resist starting this old Sheepish design, Gone Fishing! Haven't stitched one from Sheepish in so long.

Well, if you got this far you get a gold star!! I'll be back soon!

Here's the latest. He's the 3rd snowman finish I've done in January. This one is filled with crushed walnut shells. I should have been stitching Spring designs, because so far we sure haven't had any winter. Today the temp is already 68, and it will probably go higher! We've only had a dusting of snow so far, and my stitched snowmen could be the only ones I see this year :)

Here's another little snowman for the winter! I stitched him with white and blending filament, but the pic doesn't show it well. And, beads instead of stitches for the flakes. I left the words "Let It Snow" off. Another fun, shop from stash finish!

And a little more progress on my BAP stitching:




Welcome to my new followers and thanks for all the nice comments.

This little cutie was stitched on a 20 count mystery linen with DMC pearl cotton #5, 1 over 2. I didn't have the exact colors, but I love the way it turned out! And, best of all I shopped from stash!
