Spring Stitcheries

Well, I decided that if I stitch something Spring-like that maybe spring will come sooner. HEEHEE!! Actually....I'm still okay with winter being here because I am not totally ready to tackle the yard!! I got both of these patterns on-line for free. People are so generous with their time and talents.

This is a cute bunny with tulips in a planter at the side.

Goodness, that is hard to see. It is a little sheep. I don't think it will take too long to stitch!!

I finished this today--it is part of the birthday give-away!! I'm not disclosing ALL of it!! Look at the previous post if you haven't entered and leave a comment!!
It was fun to hear from all of you. So many of you were born in the 60's--thought you might like to see what happened in 1966:

World Population: 3.415 billion
President: Lyndon B. Johnson
Life expectancy: 70.2 years
Medicare Begins (July 1).
Unemployment: 4.5%
Cost of a stamp: $0.05
Baltimore defeated the L.A. Dodgers in the World Series
Boston defeated the L.A. Lakers for the NBA championship
Tom Jones won a grammy for best new artist
Song of the year was " The Shadow of Your Smile.
CBS deems "Psycho" too violent for at-home viewing
The Academy Award went to "The Sound of Music"
Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" was released
FDA declares "the Pill" safe for human use
Walt Disney died

Hope Wednesday has been wonderful.

Be nice to people,

Julie

Love those stitcheries you're working on Julie! I really love the sheep one!

Isn't it a shame what they allow on TV these days...and it's not considered too violent? Those facts were neat to read! (And you can tell I was born in the 60's by using the word neat). :)

Hugs,
Tammy

Ha, ha...I'm still on the fence about that one. I'm not sure if doing spring projects will bring spring here faster or jinx myself! I'm keeping my pine garland and snowmen out and my Valentines stuff up until the end of the month...only a few days away. I guess I'd best get moving on new stuff or it will be bear here. It might be time for spring crafts!

I don't know much about the 60's....that's when my parents were born..lol. It's about 20 years before my time.

Have a great day :)
