Twisted Tuesday--the colors of pink


I put a few more stitches in Pink Hill Manor by BBD.

This linen is 30 ct R & R Irish Creme

I can only work on this linen landscape as our 3 level cottage in the woods has thick yellow pollen everywhere, therefore I'm trying not to scratch my eyes out with ezcema this week but even with antihistamines.........it's kinda hard! ;)

The colors are beautiful and some are very close to the linen color itself.

My before pic for progress is :


~~~~~~~working on the windows when I had to stop and get some shut-eye



I think I better close in those windows tomorrow night.

 It's definitely peak allergy season for me right now.

Scratch. Itch. Scratch. Itch.

And I have to be in a formal picture tomorrow. Let's pray my eyes are not swollen shut and red.

Kinda like GA Old Red Paint.  :o

  3. Sorry about the allergies. My daughter has horrible allergies and just today was complaining about sneezing uncontrollably for 5 minutes when she got up this morning. I just shook my head and told her the forsythia was blooming. 'Nuff said!

    Pretty stitching!

  5. Your Pink House WIP is coming along great! I really like the fabric you're using. It really goes well with the soft pink colors. Hope you're feeling better soon. Pollen is not my friend, either!

  10. So pretty! Love the colors, warm, soft and inviting. I have been battling the messy eyed allergies, too! I guess it's part of the price we pay for spring time. But the melody of the chirping birds seems to help! Smiles.....

  12. Pink Hill is so pretty!!!

    I remember the yellow pine pollen from when I lived in NC - my eyes would itch something terrible - they would almost close up - pollen is the single thing I do not miss from NC.

    Big hugz from a fellow sufferer!!
