Ten swans are swimming...

Quite a while ago sweet, sweet Lavender Rose Deb sent me two beautifully stitched swans! She added a piece of gorgeous backing fabric and a skein of matching floss, suggesting I finish it into a fob/ornament myself. After completely ruining the floss and having to order another skein I managed to do just that!

I then went in search of the perfect photo opp and remembered the large family of swans I had seen in the area. Naturally the day I brought my camera they were gone... Today I finally managed to capture all these beauties together!

Thank you, Deb!!

Your ornament turned out great. I love your 3 grams of love post. Have you heard about his reaction when he found it?

Didn't want to go up and hang it around one those swan's necks? Chicken!!
What a beautiful display. I may have a chance to see the local swans here at my mom and dad's house this week. Haven't seen a swan in ages.

So beautiful.
Didn't the swans want to approach and say hello to their stitched fellows? Lol.
