Beautiful Bunnies and other cute stitching

This Melissa Shirley two-sided bunny was just finished by Lisa.  It is magnificent.  The attention to every little detail is incredible.

Hopping around again

 I decided to try Fancy Crosses here.  Looks like bushes...still thinking about it.  I got tired of thinking too hard and started something new.  I picked up this little heart from Melissa Shirley in Memphis.

Dark stripes

I didn't like the Painter's Thread that Amy's guide called for.  I substituted some ribbon floss that I had in my stash.  Does it look like a broken heart?

Small pink and white stripes

 I used Amy's guide suggestions for the pink stripe.  Very cute.  I tried a laid stitch for the white areas.  I'm not sure I like it.

Fatty better move or start stitching

Fuzzy picture of another way to do the small pink and white stripes

 I kept the pink, but used Neon Rays plus in a Satin Stitch.  I like this much better.

Trouble in the hood

 The winds were so bad here that my neighbor's fence fell in my driveway.

Sky

Friday night saw a whole lot of sky stitching.  I tried out a little stitch on the hill below.

In perspective

 Saturday saw very little stitching since I spent all day taking down my Christmas tree.  Yes!  I am one of those weirdos who won't take their Christmas stuff down.  I love it all so much.

See you all next year.  After all that was put away and dinner was cooked and served, I sat down again with my canvas. 

Field in front of house

 My stitch by the house.  Amy's stitch by the gold hill.   I think I need to try Amy's again tomorrow.

Dark green area at the corners

Amy suggested Staggered Leviathan here.  I don't think I like the size of the stitch.  Will sleep on it.

Roof and Heart

Small house in the distance

 I did the roof in encroaching gobelin.  I'm still not sure about the tree.

Altered colors so you can see it better

 I started unpacking my other goodies from Amy's.  I got this adorable Melissa Shirley heart with some "hen scratching" and these threads and beads.  Won't it be cute for my Valentine tree?  The one I will have some day?!

Garage roof

I wish you could see this better.  Another stitch suggestion from my Rent Amy Day.  Too perfect!

Main House roof

 The above view shows the colors a little truer.

 I altered the color so you could see the elements of the stitch.
