Visitors

A few minutes ago a whole bunch of Ruffed Grouse paid me a visit. They were everywhere! Under the car, on the roof of the car, around the cabin and a few landed right by the front door on the willow tree. I opened the door quietly... and here they are:





Not every day you can see a grouse on the tree ...

Stitchy update:
Shiver me timbers is done!(click on the picture for a detailed view)


Well, almost done. This is the frame I decided to  use for finishing but I would like to paint it before framing. I think I will paint it blue and add some snow ...  and since I decided to use this frame I will have to stitch a few more snowflakes on the left and right - it looks kind of "naked" there.

Now I'm finishing couple of pieces for an exchange (pictures will be posted after recipient receives them) and after will work on Guardian Angel from HAED. I really love that piece and can't wait to start stitching it.

So long friends,

    What a fun stitch and what's a few more snowflakes anyway? This is so cute. Thanks for sharing the Grouse's with us, Nature at it's best.
    Be always in stitches.

    I like the framing idea. I was thinking of you with the cold snap we had down here. Tuesday it rained, then dropped below freezing so we had 2 inches of ice on the road. Then it snowed. We had to wait until Saturday when it went back above freezing to do anything as we don't have snow removal equipment in Texas. I was hoping Yukon wasn't hit as most of the US got piles of snow.

    Wonderful finish. I love the frame. And I also think it looks just fine without the extra snowflake. :)

    Great photos of the grouse.

    Very cute finish with the frame! Can't wait to see what color you are going to use for it. I wouldn't know a grouse, if it landed on me! LOL
