I originally considered trying to do something that was more an actual picture but I figured it'd take me far too long and I'd never get caught up! What I ended up with is more representational but I'm pleased with the way it came out. I used fabric and beads on the bottom to depict dirt and embroidery floss to do the stems. There are a lot of trees in my neighborhood and a couple of the little gardens even have a small tree so I made the outline & branches to represent a tree. I was a little afraid it would overwhelm the piece but now that I'm done I think the flowers are holding their own. The first clump with purple beads is lavender, then daffodils, tulips and a rosebush. So now it's onto April and hopefully I'll be caught up soon!

Its cute. I searched for a better word but just came back to cute. Not as original as your piece is, thats for sure. Its simplicity only adds to the beauty. The butterfly and dragonfly charms are the perfect touch. The beads on floss stems are perfect.
Great piece.
Oh how sweet, Robin! It doesn't matter if you get behind as long as you create wonderful little treasures like this :-)
Your piece turned out QUITE nice!! I really like how you left the 'sky' open! Nice beading!
Very sweet, and so delicate. I also like the little charms. Very pretty!
What a delightful garden! I can imagine a stroll through it on a nice sunny day.
How nice and springy this piece is...the lavendar is particularly fetching!
Totally lovely and sweet, Robin!!! I love it that many of us did something about flowers for May... yet they are all so very different. Your flowers are recognizable while not looking overworked or heavy. The choice of thread embroidery for the stems was brilliant!
