Spring Embroidery Pictures

I'm ready for spring to arrive.  But in the meantime, decided to design a couple of small embroidery pictures.  I thought I'd try linen this time, but will go back to using osnaburg.  Linen is a looser weave and it was hard to keep my stitches neat.


This is a nice small project to do while watching TV.

Happy stitching,
Karen

Vintage Garden Tea Room

Thursday I went to a new tea room here in Maryville.  It was decorated in a daring shabby chic style.  I hope she is successful as we need a place for the ladies to brunch 'n lunch.  Her color scheme was mainly pink and aqua and I just happened to wear one of my favorite colors that day - aqua.  This used to be an old home which makes it even more charming.

Thought I'd share a few pics with you.

Loving tea rooms,
Karen
