~Just about Better~

Sorry for being absent for so long, but for the last 2 weeks 

I've been sick with a terrible sore throat and bad cough.

I was even too sick to stitch, YIKES!!!

 It's really hung on and has been tough to shake, but I'm just

about better and have been trying to catch up

on my unfinished stitching.  

I'll be listing some new stitcheries this month for TDIPT

on the 15th.  

Here's a few things I just got done.

 This is a pattern by Stacy Nash Primitives that I made into 

a Table Mat.  It's stitched on stained linen with overdyed

floss.  Then I attached it to some black wool and 

trimmed it with large black ric rac. 

I've been wanting to make this since last Fall when I saw a 

similar version on someones blog.

I'm rather pleased at how it turned out.  

See the little pumpkins above the table mat ?.

I decided to try my hand at stitching a few up in 

overdyed wool and prairie cloth and hope to add them

to the top of some round fabric boxes.

They are so much fun to make and look so 

primitive. 

I got the saying for this ditty bag from a Halloween

booklet by Blackbird Designs.  It's stitched on stained

prairie cloth and has a orange plaid homespun lining.

I have a few more things in the works and as soon as

they're completed I'll post some more pics.

Thanks for stopping by .

Smiles,
