Another tiny little plant and blue bird to cross stitch

Rosella

Rosella

13 February 2010

It’s Saturday afternoon.  I am very tired this week and am still recovering from my trip.  I am hoping this weekend of quietness will ensure I am fresh again for the busy week next week.

The photos are of a small Australian Rosella which I found in my garden.  He seemed to have hurt himself and he let my partner pick him so I could take a few photos.  Isn’t he absolutely gorgeous !  What about the colors ?  The colors are perfect combinations.  It is very difficult to get color combinations right when creating a design but in nature it is just precisely perfect !  We put the Rosella in a little shoe box with straw and hoped he would feel better.  This morning he was gone.  He just needed a little time and a safe place to heal.

I have not had much time to blog or create new charts this week but this afternoon I would create a tiny cross stitch chart.  This chart is just for fun and “just because”.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.  My local florist said she was not that happy that it was on a Sunday as it is her only day off.  Still she will make lots of money from it.  Long stemmed roses normally cost AUD $ 15.00.  She is now selling the same bunch for AUD $ 40.00 !  I think this is something to do with supply and demand.

Anyway I have asked not to be bought roses or flowers but would rather be taken out for a picnic in a beautiful garden where we can spend time together surrounded by nature.  I will take my camera to take lots of flower photos for my blog.

I hope wherever you are that you all have a wonderful Valentines Day !  I hope the person you love spoils you and that you spoil them.  It’s always a two way thing.  So have fun and enjoy !
