The Happy Butterfly


A happy butterfly sits on a flower
whiling away a lazy hour;
is it a wonder that he feels so gay
being in a spring garden all the long day?

♡

Featured: a cross-stitch sampler
with not one but two butterflies.
But only one of them is happy.

    I am sorry to hear the other one's not happy, but since there are many beautiful flowers, probably it would cheer up?!
    Love the sampler - just the perfect thing for spring!

    Beautiful needlework! So you think one of the butterflies is unhappy... I think perhaps it is just looking down, lol... just my perspective though :) Lovely piece... :)

      Of course I did! If you can't cheer up a butterfly, what can you do?

      I adore them as well. I read a story as a child that you could tell what spring will be like by the color of the first butterfly you see. I've been on the lookout ever since.

    I used to cross stitch all the time...and just slipped away from it, but now you make me want to get back into it!
