Help, I am stitching and stitching and I can't get up!!!

I am stitching and stitching and I can't stop!!!!    I found this darling little blog....which you may have already heard of.......http://inspireco.blogspot.com/2012/06/get-happy.html


This is my first attempt at embroidery stitching so it looks a bit child-like, but I actually kind of like it.    I always over-critique my work and then I look at it a few months later and think, "Oh, that wasn't half bad"!   I think because we know of the mistakes we make and we see them, while others do not.   

I created my stitching with 3x3 squares instead of 1x1 so I could fit more into a square.

  My lil paint pallet that I cannot seem to turn upright....

  My lil blue-gray bird of happiness, with a lil gray wisdom..............

 I grew up in Tucson, Arizona and I luv the Sahuaro Cactus..........

 What girl does not want to live in a castle with lil pink curtains...................

 I adore anything with cherries, ala cherry pie, cherry coke, cherry drinks, cherry jello, vintage cherry jewelry, vintage cherry linens, just plain ol' cherries....................

 My lil vase of flowers that I used to always draw as a kid ... and a symbol of our family vacation to Hawaii.................

  I luv a good rain and a darling umbella.............

 My lil bees that I used to draw as a kid, kite flying and of course my age......to show when I made this little heirloom...........  I will keep you posted as I keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!
