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.

Coming Next Week...

Good day all and what a beautiful 

one it is.  I had a little time

this morning, so I thought I'd

do a bit of blogging and show you 

the new finished design.  I decided

to add a little heart fob to go along

with the pinkeep.  It's really sweet.

  "Down Virginia Way"    

Dear Ivonne, friends like you are special and few.

This design is named and dedicated

to my dear friend Ivonne, of

The Crackling Crows

She is visiting her Mom

in Germany at the moment

and I'm not sure if she will

see this post or not, but I hope

when she returns home, to VA.

of course, she will be happy and 

surprised.  

Ivonne has always been such an

encouraging and supportive 

friend and I thought this a nice

way to show my thanks.

In other news, I'm working on 

another bee design :).  Sharon, from

Crescent Colours is sending me

some of her beautiful floss to use

in the next design and I'm quite 

excited about this one too.       

I'll keep you posted on the 

progress.

Until next week, have a wonderful

weekend, full of happy stitches!

New Design ~ A Bee's Blessing

Good morning all !

I am so excited to finally show

you the new design I've had in the

works since probably November and

I've been dreaming of Spring and

the flowers and bees for quite 

awhile now.

  I am working on a few more, 

but I just didn't want to wait 

any longer and since it's all

good to go, the anticipation

was just too much :)

 "A BEE'S BLESSING"

 The larger box was stitched

on 32ct R & R French Vanilla

and the smaller box was stitched 

on 40ct R & R Mink using

WDW Shneckley and GA

Burlap and Pecan Pie.
(a DMC conversion list is 
also provided)

Complete instructions on how to 

cover the boxes are included with

the design.   

One is trimmed in stained chenille

and the other has tiny x's stitched

around the top. 

I hope to add this chart to my  

Etsy shop later on today or you may

email me at  

threadworkprimitives@verizon.net   

x   x   x

I hope you're as excited about this

this design, as I am.   I really enjoyed 

stitching this one.  Can you tell?  

As always, thank you so much for 

visiting my humble blog and for

all your wonderful comments.

Happy day and happy stitching!

Just a little more stitchin'

Well, the sun is shining, the birds

are singing and I've done a bit

more stitching.

 I've finished stitching the border

on my new little design.  This 

will definitely become a pinkeep.

I just love the colors in this.

I used Gentle Art Otter Creek and 

it's at one of my most favorite blues. 

x  x  x

The other is the motif from my

Autumn Majesty design.  I changed

the colors a bit, so they'd show up 

on this Lakeside Copper linen.

This piece is telling me it wants

to be a ditty bag ; )

x  x  x

I have all the windows open in

my studio and I'll work on

finishing these for awhile and then

it's off to do some errands and get

out into this beautiful day.

x  x  x 

I hope you have beautiful weather

where you are and can enjoy 
some fresh air too.

Smiles, ~Nan

               

    

   

Handmade Goods for Sale

Happy Sunday all.

As promised I have added 

some newly finished handmades

to the 

Handmades for Sale section

of my blog, located under my

blog header picture.

Or you may use the link above.

This is just one the pieces I just
finished making.

I have so much fun creating

new items.  I use to get to do 

this every month when I was

part of TDIPT.  

I just couldn't juggle it all anymore

 and had to leave the group awhile ago,

but I always missed making  

pieces for sale.  It really brings me 
a lot of joy.  Now that I'm 

designing full time and don't have

another job to go to every day, I'm 

hoping I'll be able to create a few

pieces every month or so.

I'll post to let you know when 

new things are added to the 

Handmades section. 
x  x  x

 Hope you like what I've stitched

and would love to hear what you think :)

 Enjoy this beautiful day!

It's going to be a 

gorgeous week here in Philly.

I want to get out into the gardens

for some Spring cleanup. 

 Smiles, Nan
