Sometimes you just have to...

When I spotted this over at Allie's, I couldn't resist.  It's the sweetest little design

A gentle smudge of soft colour

Cosmo threads + fave embroidery needle = sheer delight

Simple stitches that allow your mind to roam and start cooking up all manner of nonsense...

I added the tiny pink buds

The stitching takes on a more rustic appeal on linen, don't you think?  We loves this :)

I'm going to add a limewashed frame and hang it where it greets visitors

Thanks Allie, just delicious...

Oh this is beautiful. I am just now learning a few stitches. If you have any hints please let me know. Allie is so good isn't she? So are you.

Your bird embroidery is just gorgeous. And I love the fact that you did on linen.

Allie is so talented. And what a great idea to add some colored to her design. Looks great.
Looks like a very Nice place to visit.

Lovely birdcage embroidery. I copied that one as well and hadn't thought how I was going to do it. Your idea of linen is wonderful. Thanks. Lizzie

Cheryl...you are a true artist!!! What a perfect front entry to greet someone! Maybe I missed it, but what do you use to add the color? Pencils, chalk? I have been using pencils on muslin recently. Yours looks softer than that. Very nice!

That Allie is one talented lady! I love how you have brought her stitchery to life, it will look awesome in the new frame babe :)

Cheryl, you have done the most beautiful job with Allie's gorgeous stitchery. It led me to your blog too, which is great.

[Allie]

I love it with your signature coloring, Cheryl - much better than my plain ol' redwork, lol! Love the linen too, there's another thing I'll have to try. And the tiny flowers are perfect!

Lovely pic- kind of reminds me of Florida in the U.S.!
