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.

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 ; )

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.

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 
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

A Bit More Progress

Seems like there was so much
to do today and I have even more
to do tomorrow, so.....
 I thought I'd post a little something 
today. 
I did get some more stitching
done in the early morning hours. 
  Here's the progress on my 
new little design.

Still need to stitch that border
around it and then the finishing.
It will be small and sweet!
Reason being, it's stitched on 40ct 
I'm thinking it will make a prim
little pinkeep and hope to
have more time to devote to it
this weekend.

Now, I was just sent a picture of this
finish this morning by Nita (no blog).
She stitched Happy 4th 
for an exchange that her 
Kansas Stitcher's group was having.  
Her buddy Pam in Iowa was the lucky 
recipient.  Nita was so funny. She
said they welcome all neighboring 
stitchers :)
Wonderful stitching and finishing
Nita and I love the pins.  
I'm sure Pam was thrilled
to receive it.  Thank you so
much for sending me the picture.
I love it. 
 Until next time.... 
Happy stitches!

Did You See?

Not sure if you got a chance
to visit the Dyeing to Stitch blog,
but they posted a sneak peek
today of the next  
from Blackbird Designs.
Check it out if you get a chance.
How exciting. Right?
It looks to be perfect for the 
season and quite colorful.
  Can't wait to see the 
entire piece!

I'm busy stitching another design.

Just finished designing it this
morningIt ended up being one of those
that I needed to start stitching
 right away.  I love that kind :)
  
I've also completed all of the finishing
on the pieces I stitched up in my
previous post (here).   So, I'll
be having a few finished goods
for sale very soon.
Happy Stitching!
