Hibiscus Heart
Pink Hibiscus
Saturday 30 January 2010
What a busy week ! Lots of things going on in my life at the moment which is why there has not been many blog posts this week. Next week will be just as busy. Today is Saturday morning and I am catching up on everything including my blog.
This morning I thought I would put into different catergories many of the blogs I visit from time to time from around the world. Not all the blogs are in the list yet but I will add to the list as I find blogs I enjoy reading and visiting.
I also wanted to thank Aurelle in France for linking to my site yesterday. Merci Aurelle ! I am sure you have visited her site already but if not it is a very good and informative blog on cross stitch and lost of other cool stuff.
I took the photos of the Hibiscus from a beautiful tree growing in my garden. Hibiscus are usually bright red or orange but this is a variety of Hibiscus with beautiful pink colors. I love the colors in the centre of the flower. I had some fun converting the photo I took into a cross stitch. This is the result.
Stitched Hibiscus
I am in the process of putting the chart together in both cross stitch and needlepoint and it will be available in the next day or so exclusively on the Happy Threads Shop. I’ll let you know when it is in the store. Hopefully tomorrow together with another chart I am working on today also. I just need more time !
In the meantime here is the free chart for today. In keeping with Valentines Day theme it is a little heart plant. Yes I know there is no such thing but I like things a little different. You could stitch it with or without the background and it is a cross stitch design.

Have a happy and wonderful day and weekend. I will be traveling next week so may not have much time to add more blog posts but will try to. In the meantime have fun today and plan what you want to achieve for February 2010 !

More time! That’s what we all need!
Very nice Heart flower – thanks so much.
Hi Nita ! Thanks for your lovely comment. I think I will have to retire before I will have more time to do all the stitching I would love to do. Take care.
