Easter blog hop.....hop.....




Welcome happy smiley friends :)

Jo has organised another wonderful Easter Blog hop.... Yipppeeeee!! 

My Easter letter to share with you all is....


A cute bunny with the letter H so you know what you have to do now? 



                                HERE


Oooooh yes! Do you like the Easter drawings? Han designed them all special for my blog today! Thank you Han! For those that don't know who Han is, she is my daughter :)

I love this Easter one from her.....



So some Easter stitching....

I love this so much, I made it a few years back now and believe it or not, I keep it up all year as I think it  oozes happiness! 



And onto some other happy stitching,...

I am so so happy to show you all what I have finished, it's the marvellous Scarlet Letter design, Mary Gail !!! Yes!! I have finished it!! 

Front...


Back...


I absolutely loved every stitch of this, so much so that I am going to take this design further.  Now this is something I have never ever done before, so it's going to be a challenge! For those of you that know me, you know I love a challenge! I am going to have to do a lot of research to make sure what ever I add compliments the design and not over power it. It will be fun! But that will have to wait as I have something stunning to stitch first!! 

The stunning Miss Mary Ann Bournes 1791, from the studio of Hands Across The Sea Samplers..(go back one post for the link to visit them)  I am excited to say I will be starting her over Easter!! Stitching her on 36 count sand dune linen with AVAS silk threads :) 


So all that is left to say is.... Have a lovely happy hop hop hoppity smiley Easter :)

    Thanks for taking part in the Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop this year! You have the perfect design for the letters too. I must make a note which letter to give you for next year LOL
    Han's illustrations are great too. She should get a job designing things for blogs, backdrops and linkies and so on.

    Best until last - Mary Gail looks amazing! I can't wait to see what you add to her.
