Good Friends

and a new banner !
 I was so surprised to get 

this in the mail the other day.

 Yes, my dear sweet friend, 

Ivonne of The Crackling Crows 

gifted me

with another one of her wonderful

banners.  She thought it

appropriate since she says

I'm always creating.

I just love it!  Isn't it a beauty?

If you don't own one of Ivonne's

awesome banners already,

you'll have to check out her blog!  

I have it hanging in my studio 

on an antique quilt rack

where I keep some of my

favorite ticking.

~*~

Ivonne, I am so thankful to call you

my friend.  You are so sweet

and such a joy to have in my life.   

Girl, you know I love you,

right? : )

Thank you from the bottom of 

my ♥

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

And today I was so excited to be all

  caught up on things,

that I stitched some of 

the morning away.  

( My most favorite thing to do : )

I fell in love with this prim little design

when Lori at Notforgotten Farm

posted the freebie on her blog 

a little while ago.

This is what I've stitched so far.

 Hope to have it finished soon.

Happy Weekend all.

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!

~Nan
