Spring is in the Air!

It seems like spring has sprung here in Connecticut!  and I hope for all of you too!
The spring peepers have been peeping all week and the trees are all starting to bloom.  
Today I came home to a lovely package of goodies ordered from Nina!  All of her stitchings with her hand-dyed threads and fabrics were gorgeous ~~just had to have some!
 


Such delicious colors like cherry cola, champagne, cognac.  
I will have to find something special to stitch up with these  :)  

And since my last post, I got a bit further on Rachel Hyde, 
still going strong with the rice stitches in the grapevine....


Looks like I have plenty to keep me busy heading into this weekend's IHSW!

Enjoy the rest of your week!  
Happy Spring and Happy Stitching!! xxxx
