Our crocus are blooming! That always puts me in the mood for spring. The only drawback is that my fondness for flowers translates into a LOT of work. Lately, I've spent more time on my hands and knees in the flower beds than I have stitching. By the time I sit down to stitch, I'm too sore & tired to hold a needle.With the improved weather, I thought some spring-themed stitching was in order. So, I started Wee Spring, by Heart in Hand. The photo isn't very good-- poor lighting. The fabric is really a much prettier shade of yellow than shown here. I'm not 100% happy with the way the white is (or isn't) showing up against the fabric. Perhaps a bit of backstitching will be in order.
I also took a photo of the needleroll that I stitched last month. The stitching is complete, but it still needs charms. I didn't have anything suitable on-hand, so the actual "finish" will have to wait a bit longer.

Your Stitching is just beautiful...wow...I love to read your Blog.
Do you have a picture of your other WIP - the Garden Verses one? I would love to see a picture of this.
Take care & Happy Stitching

Your new project looks already very good. Maybe you have finished it in the meantime. If there wasn't too much to do in the garden that is. I love the crocus, they are such lovely signs of spring.
Two days ago I spent an hour in the garden reading for the first time this year. But this weekend has brought back low temperatiures and rain.
What a cute needleroll - the snowmen are adorable.
I so admire gardens with flowers - wish I had a green thumb - your crocuses are stunning :)
