Although we had some rain this morning the latest storm seems to have blown itself out. There was even a bit of sunshine in the early afternoon.

I had a peek out at the deck during that period of sunshine and was very surprised to see my crocus bulbs are starting to come up. The bulbs were a birthday gift and when I planted them it was with a prayer that I was doing it right (I’m not all that good with plants). I looked a couple of weeks ago when I saw green but it was just some weeds popping up out of the soil.

But today, in the small container, there were definitely two crocus sprouts coming through the soil. I looked at the larger container and it is full of crocus sprouts.

I received the instructions today for one of my cross stitch-along projects. When I did the first few stitches I realized that the floss was too similar to the fabric so those stitches came out and I started over with a different colour of floss. I did the stitches the way I thought they should be done but I didn’t like the way they looked so I took them out again. I started again, doing the stitches in a way I thought looked smoother. When I put the question out to the group on Facebook though I was told that I should have done the stitches as I did in my second attempt. The stitching took a little less than an hour so I may take it out and do it over one more time.
