I'm very excited and honored to

For a total of 5 kits.

Releases....Not one but two

Yep. I'm totally in the Christmas

spirit now!

I've got the new designs all finished

and ready to show you the 

reveal.   

~*~ Merry Winter ~*~  

 

This design seemed to work perfectly

on a box.   The chart comes with

complete instructions for finishing

it on a 5" paper mache box,

but I think it would look great as 

a pinkeep too.  You know how I

love pinkeeps  : )

This was stitched on 35ct Sheep's Straw

linen by R & R Reproductions and 

trimmed with their Cocoa chenille.

I thought this would be beautiful done

in silks, so it's stitched using Belle Soie

silks in Red Fox, Tortoise Shell, 

Cinnamon Stick and Mudpie.

It's covered in coffee stained

homespun.

 

~*~ Victorian Christmas Pinkeeps ~*~

    This chart has instructions for both

pinkeeps.  I love the combination of

them displayed together.

The cross stitched pinkeep is also done

on the 35ct Sheep's Straw linen using 

WDW Aztec Red and GA Piney Woods.

Gosh, I just love the sweet little round

one.  Created with stained mini

checked homespun with a little jingle

bell on top.

I can't wait to display these this

year with our 

other Christmas decorations.

Both of these new patterns are 

now available in my Etsy Shop.

Thank you for taking the time

to visit and for all your wonderful

comments and encouragement.

Happy stitching!

~*~Workin' on a New Design~*~

It's always exciting to sit down

and start stitching a new design.

I never really know just how it will

turn out or what it will turn into.

I think I've said this before, but

I just let the piece tell me what 

it wants to be :)

Here's a little sneak peek
of my "Merry Winter" design.
 

I love the floss colors so far and I'm
stitching it on 35ct Sheeps Straw linen
by R & R Reproductions, which is
a beautiful golden color.  
Hoping to finish it up quickly for a Dec.
release.
~*~*~*~*~
Tonight we are headed over to my
brother's house to celebrate with the family.
It's his 50th birthday.  
Where do the years go ?

Seems like only yesterday we
were little kids.
Happy Birthday Paul!
  ~*~*~*~*~
Happy Friday to you all and
Happy Stitching.

Getting in the Spirit

Hi friends!

I hope you've all recovered from the 

fun and feast of Thanksgiving.

I know we have tons of left overs.

My hubby made a big bowl

of turkey salad with grapes and

sliced almonds.  Yummmmm.

 That will serve as a delicious lunch 

for a few days.

I've had some time this past

weekend to indulge 

myself in some stitching.

I'm getting in the holiday 

spirit and stitched up a few

prim and simple ditty bags.

I don't usually have too much

time to make finished items

anymore, so this was fun.

I've listed them for sale 

in my Etsy shop.   Hope you'll

take a look. 

x x x 

   Have a great week!

~Nan  

♥ With Thanks ♥

I thought I would post today

since our house will be a buzz

with family and friends

tomorrow.

~*~

 At this time of year I pause to count 

all my blessings.  I am so grateful

for my family, my friends and  

all the new friendships 

I've made this  year.    

You inspire me and make me smile 

everyday.  Thank you for your

friendship and encouragement.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday

full of family, friends, love and

laughter.  Enjoy this 

special day!

Happy Thanksgiving,

~Nan      

A Bit of Eye Candy

Hi Friends,

Thought I'd show you 

what I picked up while at 

Dyeing to Stitch last weekend for 

their birthday celebration.

Yes, wonderful R & R linen.

My true obsession.

In some colors I actually didn't have : )

Mink and Coffee Bean. 

Along with some of their beautiful trims

and a few pretty new silk threads

by The Thread Gatherer 

and Crescent Colours.

x x x x x 

Today I spent a bit of stitching

time on the Primitive Needle

Kindred Spirits piece I've been 

working on.  

 Slow but steady.  I'm pretty sure I'll

have this done by next

Halloween :D.

I stitched this on the recommended 

color linen, Days gone by, but 

now I wish I had just stitched

it on some of my R & R linen.

It always goes along so much

 faster and more enjoyable.   

Either way though,    

stitching always seems to make 

whatever little worries I have

fade.  Don't you agree?

x x x

Well, I hope your day is full of

things you love and no worries too.

Smiles,

~Nan
