Hello Spring & My Second Finish

I stitched Hello Spring for Michele. She was my partner for Round 6 in the Lizzie Kate Exchange. I was searching for something that wasn't winter themed and found this sunny little design.
Hello Spring
Lizzie Kate Freebie 2006
Hand Dyed 28 Ct. Jobelan
DMC Floss
I hand dyed 28 count Jobelan and used Weeks Dye Works Floss and Sampler Threads. I found the fabric at JoAnn's and thought it matched the colors in the design pretty well. I added some bright green rick rack and sewed it on using purple Mill Hill Beads. I sewed on a bright orange bow and attached it with a heart button.
I am happy that Michele likes it.

This is my second finish for 2011. It is slow going as all of my Crazy Fifteen Challenges are so huge. I still would like to stitch up at least one small Valentine design. Maybe tomorrow.
I am still stitching on Sixteen Birds today and would like to get one more motif finished and complete the band row.
