Stitching the center scene of a Sailor's Valentine first helps to get me "in the mood," and this one is no exception. And some of the colors I've used here will give you a hint to the flowers that will grow in my nautical garden!
Since this section is only 25 threads wide, most of the stitching was done in basketweave, with a few exceptions. The roof and stoop were worked in slanted gobelin stitches and the bushes at either side of the door are French knots.
I'm almost done with my canvas painting, so I hope to be able to spend more time on this little design as the week progresses!

I love the many details you can achieve in small places, and with basketweave, too. Nicely done.
Very sweet
