Bees and Blossom

Pinterest has some beautiful embroidery inspirations.  I've pinned so many ideas, I'm sure if I sat and embroidered forever, I still wouldn't be able to work my way through all the lovely designs.

There were two though that I saw recently that particularly caught my eye.

This one from flossbox


...and this one from emblibrary.com.


I already have an embroidered bee and flowers picture that I made way back in 1998...


...but I felt that the time was ripe for another one to be made.

So, based on the lovely inspiration from Pinterest, I drew out a design, selected the colours and off I went...


And here's the finished article.




There's something about bees and flowers that lifts the spirits, don't you think?
