The coloured portion of this band is complete. I rather love the little cardinals. We don't have those birds in New Zealand but they are certainly more colourful than our birds.
Now I am working on the white band and first is what is called Broad Cross Stitch.
A really 3D stitch this has 8 steps for each complete stitch. I am wondering if there will be enough of the white silk to complete this.
Today I planted five planter boxes - two with flowers for the DBEM. Pink and blue petunias which I hope will provide a great deal of pleasure for both of us. Also lettuce and silverbeet which will definitely feed both of us.
Now I am ready to take the lasagne out of the oven and that is the last item on my weekend To Do List.

I hope all is well in your part of New Zealand after the earthquake. I'm thinking of you.
Looking good, hope you have enough fiber
The pictorial part is lovely. Until I started following American blogs I did not realise that cardinals actually looked like that in real life! I thought they were cartoon representations of birds, like Disney's bluebirds LOL
Wonderful progress on your sampler, Margaret! The red cardinals do add a nice touch of brightness. :)
