Today is my day to 'Say it with Flowers'!!! Thanks need to go out to Madam Samm from Sew We Quilt for coming up with these wonderful ideas for blog hops and to Carol from Just Let Me Quilt for getting us bloggers all set up and ready to go!!!
I decided to go with the craft I love the best and that is cross stitching. I found this freebie quite a long time ago and thought she was really sweet. The chart didn't have a color key so I needed to go through my (large:) stash of floss and pick some colors for her. I wanted her to be bright and bold and I think I got my colors just right:)
I had intended to make this be the front 'page' of a needle book, but ran out of time. The fabric in the corner above will be the lining fabric when I do get the chance to finish this pretty little piece into a needle book.
Of course I had lots of ideas in my mind, but this blog hop really had me going back and forth on what to actually do. I ended up stumped for quite a while, but am really happy with the project I ended up with:0)
Don't forget to visit each of the bloggers on today's 'SAY IT WITH FLOWERS" blog hop!!!

Shannon, your cross stitch is wonderful! Almost makes me want to take up the needle and floss again (almost..haha). I think your changes are just perfect. She will make a beautiful needlebook!

Love your cross stitching but I think the butterfly net would make a perfect finish for the piece.

Very, very nice!
Sweet embroidery, and I bet it will look realy nice when finished.
This one made me exclaim out loud :) Oh, how pretty your little lady is...dainty...please be sure to show your needlebook finish!
Hi Shannon, I think a needle book will be just the thing to showcase your sweet cross stitch !
this is so very pretty...great job!
Sweet project.
Your cross stitch work is beautiful. My eyes will not let me do such fine detailed work like that. Thanks for sharing with us.
we like it we really like it..and so much soooo well you will see
Great cross stitch! I use to do cross stitch, so I know it is fun, but hard. I can't see well enough to do it like I use to.
Such beautiful stitching! I bet it looks good on the back too with none of that snarly stuff like mine gets to looking like. If it fits on a needle book then the piece must be fairly small then?
THX for sharing with us today.

Hi, Shannon. What a wonderful cross-stitch design and you interpreted it with colors perfectly! I used to cross stitch but have never used that hardanger (is that what it is?). Thanks so much for sharing your work today. I like seeing crafts other than quilting (tho that seems to be all I ever do, maybe that's why).
Love the needle work, very pretty
