dreaming in green. i've played around with this one in photoshop elements, adding some layers and making some adjustments.
week 15's stitch with TAST was the stem stitch.
this is a stitch that i know well and have practiced a lot over time. for some reason i had a very hard time getting started with it. i had a few ideas but nothing was grabbing me until i decided on this . . .
it's not necessarily very creative but i think it works.
i discovered a lot more creativity than i showed as well as some spring garden stitchiness within the comments section of the week 15 post on Pin Tangle.
there is a wonderful spring nest, a simple but whimsical and fun garden, and a willow tree~! if you have a spare minute and an interest in embroidery you will enjoy seeing all of these as well as the other fabulous handwork shared.
recent gifts include:
- a surprise weekend visit from the wonderful daughter. it's nice that she now lives close enough to do this.
- a good report from the orthopedist
- a few minutes to play in photoshop elements. i've missed it~!
Your stitching is neater than my handwriting! It's perfect and I would say creative, too!

The stem stitch is a classic. I like the rope like effect it gives. Some nice stitching going on here.
