It has been a while since I joined in with Kathy and I need to start something that fit's in with my Keep It Simple for the year.
A lovely blogger sent me a box of her old cross stitch pieces and I would like to do them justice. This kit was never opened and the flowers just drew me in. I won't be making the individual bookmarks, but putting them together into a wallhanging - a calendar of flowers.
It didn't take me long to graph out the Aida cloth - BUT, although the floss was in two bundles - no key as to what was in them. So it took some time and guess work to just pull the 12 different greens. So with the questionable floss piles, photo, magnifier, and possibly pulling from my own supply - I will make this work.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Great idea to put these into one piece. Enjoy your Sunday!

This will be so pretty and fun to follow :)
I like your idea to turn this into a one piece project. I have a feeling it will turn out beautiful!
What a great project. Enjoy you stitching.
I love the idea of making it all into one wall hanging. It will be lovely when completed.
It's going to be beautiful, what a good idea to make a wallhanging.
What a great project to work on as we, hopefully, move into Spring!
Great idea...those flowers look so pretty! :0)
Wow -- those are really lovely little pieces. That should be fun to work on through a Sunday afternoon! Enjoy! :)
Oh my - this will be a beautiful wall hanging. I'm anxious to see it all done up.

I love the idea of a calendar of flowers. Its going to look amazing!
Looks like a fun project. My least favorite part of those kit sitchteries is figuring out what thread goes where.
They will make a lovely hanging, Sharon.
That was quite a floss challenge. Looks like fun stitching and perfect while waiting for spring to come. Happy Stitching!
I agree with everyone else....great idea! Be looking forward to this one!
I like your determination. I have been thinking about getting back to my cross stitch, it is soothing to me and I have not done it in a while. Keeping it simple is a wonderful idea.
