Happy Monday!
“April showers bring May flowers,” is how the saying goes. But so far here at the Castle, it’s been April and May showers! Not that I’m complaining about rain- I love a rainy day.
This year has been strange for my garden. I planted a bunch of seeds, but only got my okra to germinate. 100% germination too! But the peppers and eggplant refused to germinate. So I went back to the drawing board (or seed container in this case) and placed the new batch of seeds in a paper towel. I sprayed the paper towel with water, placed it in a plastic container, and left the container in a sunny spot of the Castle. Over the next few days, I made sure that the paper towels stayed moist. After that, I planted those seeds in a seed tray. Well, the paper towel seemed to work wonders for them! I’ve got Italian Eggplant! Thank goodness too, because I adore Eggplant Parmesan. Now it’s just a waiting game for the bell peppers.
While we’re still talking about gardening, here’s a magnificent Wisteria.
I changed my Q Snap from an 11 x 17, to an 11 x 11. It feels like I’m making more progress that way, as I finish motif by motif. It also stops my Q Snap from sinking in my lap stand, since there’s so much extra fabric with this WIP.
This week, I’m excited to show you my finished unicorn. Behold!
Stunning! You don’t often see them in the wild like this :)
I also finished that motif in front of his nose, and started stitching the crown and the shield. Really love how that crown is so much bigger than the unicorn. It gives this band a certain something.
Don’t you love seals? They’re absolutely adorable, and I found that this article made them even more adorable:

Happy stitching!
P.S. don’t forget about my promo code!
