Just wanted to show you a few items I've been working on.
I designed and started stitching this little alphabet sampler this weekend and
hope to attach it to a custom lollipop top hornbook. I still have to finish
up stitching it and get it all stained and prim looking.
The colors are olive green, dark brown, gold and a denim blue.
Not sure what color I will paint the hornbook. Have to wait and see.

I just got the new Blackbird Designs booklet called A Stitcher's Journey and I also treated myself to 3 of Maggie Bonanomi's books. I thought these little Tulip Pinkeeps (BBD) and matching velvet hearts (MB) would be a quick and fun stitch and they really were.
Of course, I ended up changing the floss colors to ones I liked better and I even dyed the head pins to match. I made a light and dark version. I like the way they turned out and I'm not sure I could pick a favorite.
BTW... the ric rac I used is hand dyed by Nancy of Victorian Motto Sampler Shop
I can tell you first hand it is wonderful and she has some really great colors available.

Very cute! The little tulip pinkeeps are adorable and perfect for spring. I love the velvet hearts too, they are different. I don't know which I like best either but they look great together.
