New Release - Adam's Menagerie

I've completed stitching Adam's Menagerie!  Size is 198x200 stitches.
This  menagerie of little creatures will make you smile as you stitch.  The critters include a hedgehog, an ostrich, a red squirrel, quail, a pair of chameleons, even a hidden leopard!  
Adam's Menagerie will be a delightful design to stitch on upcoming winter evenings. The Genesis verse 2:19 tells the story of how Adam named the newly created animals and bird in the Garden of Eden.  
Wouldn't one of these little animals look cute stitched on a pocket or the edge of a collar?

The model was stitched with DMC on the Wichelt Beach Walk  32 ct linen. #65282 - similar to  524 DMC light grey green. As in all my charts, this one includes instructions for specialty stitches which are petite stitch and Algerian eye.

This design is available in shops and on my Etsy shop

Panoply of Posies progress

I'm making pretty good progress in stitching my model for Panoply of Posies.  Here it is as of last night.  I managed to stitch the blue motif done during the Dr Who episode - and that is really saying something as it was hard to take my eyes off the TV!
