Shamrocks, Gold, and Chickens , Oh my!

 Top of the morning to you! It's not even March, and yet I am getting on my green.πŸ˜πŸ’š☘☘ 

Welcome, my friends.  Yesterday I finished another edition of Annie and the gang. 

If you are new, you may have not met Annie. Annie is a sweet but busy young lady who bustles around her farm with her 3 hens, Edna, Dorothy, and Alma. They have tended bees, gathered roses, picked pumpkins, ,sledded and even showed their patriotic pride.

In this stitch, Annie is honoring her Irish roots.  Annie is marching forward with an Irish flag while Alma and Dorothy roam around searching for gold. Edna is nesting. There are shamrocks and lucky horseshoes thrown in the mix as well. 

         

I finished my stitch on mat board and then placed it on a thrifted wooden box that I got at the Goodwill. 

Oh what luck! It was already painted. 

I just change the stitches out seasonally. 

If you would like to add Annie to your stitching list, please check out the links below. 

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate links because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  These are images of the chart and not downloads.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

Eventually, I would like to have an Annie stitch for every holiday or month. I have some ideas for some more. Now to put my needle to work.

Wherever you go and whatever you do , may the luck of the Irish be there with you.
