A Cottage Finish and a New Start

 Here it is!!!  My third finish of the year and second of the Cottages.  Again, I have not added the month name, and have just filled that in with more hearts.  I also shortened the topiaries in the sides of the house.  I had to do that since I have brought the top down about 8 rows.  I think it turned out cute.

 Here is the start of March's Cottage.  I am further along on it as of now, but I am going to frog the darker green, it is just too dark for my taste.  Again, I am modifying this one as well.  Hope to post another pic of it soon.  Although I am extremely busy lately, these are going fairly quickly for my standards. I am skipping April for now and have May and June coming in the mail.  


I have also come across a huge pile of craft buttons and have put them in the SHOP.  Purples, pinks, greens, blues, reds, whites....These are great for a multitude of crafts, from cross stitch, to sewing, quilting, ornaments....  I have kept many for myself and the rest are up for sale for fantastic prices!!!!

A FINISH!!! And a WIP!

 Well, here it is.  My first cottage, finished!!  I am way behind, but that's okay.  I am just psyched that I did it.  This is my favorite so far.  As you can see I am leaving out the month names, I just didn't want them.  I am moving the top down about 8 stitches and improvising with the various elements already in the designs.  I am over half way finished with February and am making the flowers on the sides a bit shorter to make it work better.  I really like this too, I'm just not sure about my color choice of green.  It's a bit darker than the original, but it will have to work because I am not frogging it.  As you can see I have March in my queue.  I will be doing a floss toss for this one soon.  

Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is well,
