Ahhhh Spring.....

Well, today was just 

a beautiful day!

I got quite a bit of stitching

done, but also took some

time to sit outside on our

deck in the sunshine.

Boy, did it feel nice.

My friend Nancy, recently

reminded me to stop and 

smell the flowers, so I took 

her advice.      

The Rhodie is in bloom, the 

Forest Pansy tree and Sand Cherries

have buds and the Lilacs are dressed in 

green.  Can't wait for them 

to flower too.

I finished my ditty pouch.

This was made using my Autumn

Majesty design that is available

in my Etsy shop or at your LNS.

I really love how this turned out.

This has found a home right here in

our house, 

but I hope to start making 

another one in a few days 

to add to my handmades section.

A very good evening to all

and happy stitching.

New Pattern!

Gosh, I'm so happy to finally share this new

release with you.  It's been a long time coming, 

but here it is at last, "Cottage Charm Sampler".

As you may know, I just love

stitching the alphabet, so as you can 

see it includes one of them :)

I am in love with these flowers too.  They

remind me of lolipops, don't you think?

 The model has been stitched on 32 ct Zweigart 
Vintage Heritage Linen using a combination
of WDW, GA, DMC and the red is a
Victorian Motto Sampler Thread
called Nan's Red.  Made especially for
me by Nancy.  It's a very cool red if I 
do say so myself :)

In other news....I'm proud to say I just
signed with Hoffman Dist. Co.
so my patterns should now be available
at your local needlework shop.
I'm working on 2 other samplers that 
I'm very excited about and hope to 
have them available to you soon.

Thank you for taking time to visit with me
and as always, Happy Stitching!

Sunday Stitching

It's been quite chilly

and very Fall like in Philadelphia 

these past few days.

Good stitching weather : )

Hubby and I watched the Eagles

game yesterday and I made sure

to have needle in hand for those

3 or so hours. 

I am, of course, still in 

Halloween/Fall mode, so 

I put together this wool pumpkin

pincushion and trimmed it in

with some yummy cinnamon chenille 

from

Victorian Motto.

 I'm very much drawn to the 

chocolate browns,

rusts, and dark mustards at

this time of year.

* * * * *

I also began work on a new Fall inspired

alphabet sampler that I hope to 

attach to a wooden hornbook.

It will be full of all the things

that are reminiscent of Autumn.

Got to get ready for TDIPT.

It comes around so fast and

I want to have a few things to

offer this month.

* * * * * 

Hope you are enjoying some Fall

like weather where you are!

Happy Stitching.
