REDnesday


A bright, sunny REDnesday with Sue is waiting for a great RED showing. Join her at http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com.


This is one of several needlepoint pieces I did several years ago. I thought the red breast went well on Rednesday.
My neighbor captured this cute little kitty playing with a red string.

That needlepoint is so pretty, and I hope we'll be seeing a real robin here very soon, because that will mean Spring is just around the corner! Love the new look of your blog too, LV!
Happy REDnesday!

Beautiful and adorable red!!! You do lovely needlepoint, the robin is georgous, I hope you have him hanging somewhere. I wait to see the first robin of spring each year, and quite often write down the date on my calendar

Lovely needlepoint! Where I live, the robins winter over in the swampy areas and come to my yard to look for berries. I saw one yesterday, as a matter of fact!

Adorable kitten chasing that "cardinal" toy!

I hope that Robin is a sign of spring coming! Because it is cold and snowed here again today. I posted the snow photos on my page today. And I love that cute kitty.

Love the needlepoint. I did it for years and years but cannot see the little holes anymore. Now I knit, embroider, and quilt. The new look to your blog is lovely...a very nice and appealing color scheme.

Well hello there, dear! I haven't had a mom since my early 20s and only had a grandma for a few short years so I love to meet women who are older than me. ♥

The robin is my favorite bird! I have moved all over the great US of A and the Robin is every where I go. It's evening song moves me so!
