My little pink pets are multiplying. Now we have two chicks (from Elyse) and a pink Scottie (from Meri.) Do you think they’re happy? They seem to be.
You realize, don’t you, that I am actually providing a close-up view of my amateurish attempts at embroidery? What am I thinking?
Square #2. A curtained window with a glimpse of spring – can you tell where my thoughts are? I’m making a discovery with each square – this one taught me that I should outline the square first, as I did in square #1. Lesson learned. I notice the window panes are a tad crooked, just like the ones here at MHC.
I’m off to start my research on the Shakespeare being done this summer at the Rep. The dollhouse has been cleared from the table temporarily. In its place: scripts and lots of books. I’ve made a deal with myself – I can do some fun things if I work on the texts in the morning. We’ll see how this works out.

If it was perfect, Claudia, it wouldn’t be handmade! I think you did a wonderful job! I’ll have to post one day my cross stitch from YEARS ago!
Love your darling pink critters and that print is GORGEOUS!!!
((Hugs))

Claudia, You are on a journey of discovery with your embroidered sampler! EAch day you will learna new things and by the end of the 39 days, you are going to be an amazing pro at all sorts of stitches! Speaking of 39, I watched “The 39 Steps” on Masterpiece Sunday night. Love that show.
Your pink watercolor roses are beautiful, and made more fun with the addition of the little pink critters from your friends!
I’m thinking this fun way of stitching is just great, crooked windows and all!
The chicks are adorable and I love the little window!
Awww…your pink pets are adorable!
Your latest square is so sweet, the window is adorable and I love the colors!
Have fun researching sweet Claudia!
Hugs,
Karyn
awwww… this is so adorable!! I love the idea of the window!! WOW!! Keep it going… I cant wait to see more!!

Hi Claudia…Oh what I would give to sit and do something like that. It is really pretty. Have a great day…julie
I think they are both VERY cute. Adore the rose button.
Claudia, your sampler will be perfect. Your embroidery panes are for all of us to treasure.
Hey lady,
Quit being so hard on yourself. Your work is wonderful, full of character and love. Never be embarrassed about your work when it’s done with love and joy because you bring love and joy to others when you share.
Hugs,
Meri
Your window square is just charming! And I love the watercolour roses. They look so loose and natural.

the pink scottie is so cute! I think we should continue to learn in every creative endeavor- if it’s perfect where would the fun and challenge be? I adore both squares- a glimpse of spring is what we need right now! Have a wonderful day Claudia♥

Sweet little square needle work. It is very hard. I used to do lots of hand stitch work but now I do more knitting. Anyway, I really like what you are doing. Love the pink water color and pink little chicks…the little dog is sweet.
eeeps! how fun to see the little chicks! i just love those tiny things.
to play or not to play, that is the question.
the answer: yes! play!

You’re doing great w/ the embroidery, Claudia! And I love the Spring theme. It’s 35 degrees here – warmest it has been in months, so Spring is a comin’!

beautiful embroidery … I would never even attempt it.
It will be gorgeous when you have done all 39.
I love me some Shakespeare :-) I only used to live about an hour away from Stratford so would go to the RSC often.
I just love your little stitched window Claudia. Adorable!

That painting is gorgeous! You’ve got me longing for a dollhouse now. I told my husband if he’d have gotten into woodworking with the hobby stuff I bought him years ago, he could have made me one. Yeah, right.
Brenda
Pretty embroidery and cute little pink animals!
Jody
