House of Mouse Designs Four Seasons Cross-Stitch ...... Sweet Pea

So I wasn't going to do anything new until I finished a few things but my SIL is laid up for awhile after surgery so I wanted to send her something cute and I did the sweet pea pattern from House of Mouse Designs book. It was really quick.... worked 5 evenings on it .... and only did one change which was the blue. The pattern called for DMC 827 and I used instead 3325 for two reasons, one I wanted to do something just a touch deeper in shade and two I had used up all my 827... on Maxwell that I'm working on right now. I did this on 28 count white Cashel linen and the framing was a snap as I only padded behind it with a little batting as the frame had no depth to it at all. Finished design was put in a 5 x 7 frame. I do almost always sign my pieces and did so with my latest incarnation.... I looked back and the only thing I've changed since the 80's in my first name is I used to put a tiny heart beside it. .... talk about hanging on to something you like :o)
