Cross Stitch Pattern, Bird in Flower Wreath, Susan Bates Cross Stitch, Floral, Nature, Embroidery Flowers, Cross Stitch Gifts

I am so in love with this floral wreath with a little bird in it!  As small as it is, it did take me almost a month to complete!  I work full-time outside of the home so finding time for craft projects has been a bit of a challenge.  But we have to MAKE time for things (and people) we care about.  In my case, I’ve made more craft time by just sacrificing sleep time.  I have tried all sorts of time management strategies but they have all failed.  I am working full-time, have a growing and curious boy to keep an eye on, two very mischievous cats, and 1 very messy hamster!  There is no additional time!  So… forget sleep!  I need crafts to keep me sane!!!  I have been waking up at 4:30am every day just so I can have 2 full hours of uninterrupted craft time.  Do I really need 8 hours of sleep?  Hmm…

This pattern is from Susan Bate’s Cross Stitch book called:  Cross Stitch Mini Motifs: Flowers: More Than 50 Mini Motifs  I love all of her work!!!  I am already working on another pattern from her book!  Of course, pictures to follow when I finish!

Cross Stitch Pattern, Bird in Flower Wreath, Susan Bates Cross Stitch, Floral, Nature, Embroidery Flowers, Cross Stitch Gifts

As for this little birdy, it is a gift for someone that has always inspired me to “let my creativity rain.”  The one and only Jera Brandvig from Quilting in the Rain, author of Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern: Fresh Techniques for Busy Quilters and Quilt As-You-Go Made Vintage: 51 Blocks, 9 Projects, 3 Joining Methods.  I love her work!!!  She has her own fabric lines as well and all of which I have hoarded and stashed away.  It’s just too pretty to cut up!

This is on its way to her now.  I hope she receives it soon and will love it as much as I do.  💕  Hooray for happy mail!  📦✨
