More Tulips

Today is my mom's 88th birthday. The celebration will be tomorrow with my two sisters and their families. I decided to stitch primitivebetty's spring freebie for her. Well, somehow I miscounted and the design was completely off center. So, I decided to dress it up a little to compensate for my error. Here's what I came up with:

Now don't look too closely at the ribbon or the bow! I had the iron too hot and the ribbon went poof, so I had to make a little bow. Another stitcher had added some button to her finish, so I used her idea. I think it turned out sorta cute.

The day trip yesterday was alot of fun. I'll post some photos later this weekend.

I finally got my HoE Woodland exchange in the mail. It has over 4800 miles to travel, so it will be a while before I can post the photo of the exchange.

Well, guess I'll stitch a little before I head to dream land. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
