A Big Thank You and A Bit Of Finishing Work

I want to thank all of you

for your interest in my humble 

designs and for your

friendly comments and emails.

I really and truly enjoy visiting 

with you and getting to know 

each one of you.

Thank you to everyone who 

purchased "Enchanted Crow"

They have all been shipped and 

are on their way to you.

Now, if you remember 

last Saturday I posted

some little designs I had 

stitched up.  Today was my

last day off from work till 

who knows when :( , so I got 

to work finishing one.

Here is my "Oct 31st Jack".

It's not stuffed yet, but I 

liked it so much I had to show

you. 

Let me know what you think : )

I always have a great time 

reading you comments and 

really appreciate your visit.

Until next time.

Happy Stitching everyone.

Smiles and hugs,

~Nan

Halloween Decorating ~ YEAH !!!

Yes, that's right.

I have spent the entire day

cleaning and decorating for

Autumn/Halloween.

You may think it a bit early, 

but I have 3, 

yes count them, 

3 glorious days off from work.

So, along with designing,

stitching and 

finishing, I now have a 

house all decorated for 

my favorite of all holiday,

Halloween and a clean 

one at that !

Can you imagine my 

smiling face :D.

Other than the cross stitch

pieces, all of my decorations are

hand made by other artisans.

I have been collecting prim

Halloween pieces for years.

Can you tell? 

Hope it wasn't too much 

to look at in one viewing, 

but I am so pleased with 

how the house looks.

I will sit back tonight

and take it all in,

while I stitch the new design

I created this morning. 

I'd say it was a very 

productive first day off :)

Smiles,

TDIPT Mercantile & Some Stitching

I can't believe it's time again for the

TDIPT Mercantile update.

Tomorrow night I will be listing two

hand cross stitched items. 

* * * * * 

The first is a small sawdust filled pinkeep with a

PA Redware look to it.  It was inspired 

by a pattern of the same name

by Carriage House Samplings

* * * * *

Next is a hanging cupboard sampler.

It has a rusty wire hanger and a 

funky skeleton key.

Design by SN Primitives.

 

It's backed with a soft flannel homespun

and a hand stitched wool heart.

Both are stitched with variegated 

flosses on stained linen.

 * * * * * * *

I've been focusing on some Halloween stitching.

My most favorite holiday of all.

These are a few little designs I've come up 

with and hope to finish these up into something

for next months TDIPT. 

For once I'm ahead of schedule and I have

to say it feels good.  

* * * * *

I also have a new pinkeep pattern 

all ready to go.

Of course it's a Halloween pattern.  

It's all I can think about :)

I hope to release it tomorrow, so check back!

As always, 

Happy Stitching!

Smiles,

Introducing...."Autumn Majesty"

I am so excited
to show you 
the new needleroll pattern
that R. M. Martz and I
have created together !

I know so many of us are ready for Fall.
I know I am.  So we used a color pallet
of Autumn colors, gingersnap, 
maple syrup, tarnished gold and 
a little bit of blue and stitched it on 
35ct Straw by WDW.
The beautiful wools are hand dyed
from Ram in the Thicket.

We hope you will be pleased
with our new design.
