Now that I've shared the cruelty part it's time for some beauty. Well at least they are beauties to me.
I was sitting looking through the some cross stitch magazines one day and saw a couple of smalls that would be perfect little cards for a couple of friends. The first one is from a larger piece but my friends loves snails so that's the part I stitched.
My card finishing had a small mishap but she liked it anyway and that's all that counts. The next beauty was for another friend who loves turtles, now she can sit this one on her desk at work.
He's a little sea turtle with beads for bubbles.
I did a little more stitching and have a couple more finishes to share, the first one is from The Primitive Hare.
The next finish is one from my wips bag, it's "Let's Love Our Family" by Ursula Michael
The fabric is 28ct Jobelan called Autumn from Under the Sea Fabrics. I also finished
"M" is for Minnie (Mother) from The Victorian Sampler.
Sorry I just had to share my little nature tragedy but I hope I have help to brighten your day with a few finishes. Now it's time to get back to what I love the most, making those little xxs.

Gorgeous finishes :)
We just had some drama with a nest in our yard. (Posted on my blog) I know how you are feeling, but for us things turned out well. Nature can be difficult to understand at times.
Love your finishes Minnie.I love your Turtle blowing bubbles and lets Love Our Family looks great.
Great work Minnie. My favorite is M is for Minnie. :D
Oh, Minnie, that is so sad! I am so sorry for those little birds. But I do love your snail and turtle! Beautiful work as usual.
Fabulous finishes! I especially like the Stitcherhood. When March of the Penguins came out, I took my nieces (at the time they were about five and six). When the females returned to the ocean to feed after sitting on their eggs for ages, the seals (sea lions?) were waiting for them--to feast on them. My older niece turned to me, "I thought penguins and seals were FRIENDS!" And I have hated nature ever since! LOL
Poor babies :(. Nature is quite cruel. I love your finished though! You have so many!
Those poor babies. I can't help but wonder why the parent missed his/her turn.
On the other hand, your stitching is all lovely and makes me smile again!
Poor birdies...
Love your little snail! What chart/magazine is it from?
Everything is looking great Minnie. You have come a long way from doing one project at a time.
I also love stitching small designs for cards. Yours look very nice. Great finishes. M for Minnie is so cool.
You just wonder why did those parents mess up their shift... That's so sad.
Your stitching is beautiful - I love The Stitcherhood, Primitive Hare is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
Aw that's so sad about the baby birds. Love all your stitching! The sea turtle is my favorite!!
Nature can be so cruel sometimes, poor babies.
Beautiful stitching, you've been working on such a variety of things
I wonder if the adult bird was scared off the nest by a predator? We will never know.
Living in a semi-rural location my son is quite matter-of-fact about the "circle of life", he's seen plenty of dead things!
Beautiful stitching anyway.
Poor wee birds. Oh that snail is just so cute!
