Surprise....Kringle's Crow Release

Gosh and golly gee whiz, 

thank you all so much for your

wonderful emails about Kringle's Crow.

I have been busy putting this into 

pattern form and it is ready

to be released.  It is now available

in my Etsy Shop.

Stitched on 32ct light mocha linen.
Antique British-5 Wool from
Ram in the Thicket.

Pattern stitch count is 49W by 59H and

uses WDW and GA threads with a

DMC conversion. 

Thank you again for your support of 

my humble craft.

I hope everyone enjoyed a 

wonderful Thanksgiving.

I am truly thankful.

Blessings,

~Nan

Kringle's Crow Pinkeep

This is a play on my Enchanted

Crow design.  I changed the witch 

hat to a Santa's hat and the 

acorns to berries.  Even added

a few snowflakes. It's stitched

on mocha linen and the bottom

is wool called Antique British.

Again from Ram in the Thicket.

Can you tell I love her wool? :D

Have a great day and I do hope you'll

be able to stop by and check out

all the wonderful offerings on 

TDIPT Mercantile tonight.

TWO NEW PATTERN RELEASES

Hi Friends.  I am truly excited

about these two new patterns.

The first is "Noblewoman's Pouch".

( Border stitch count 64 by 77

Motif stitch count 39 by 39)

 This pattern was designed

hand in hand with my friend and 

partner, Mimi, of The Restoration

of My Humble Spirit.

We are both very proud of the

way it turned out.  I really enjoyed

the stitching and the finishing

on this.  It was so much fun to 

put together.

The model was worked on 30ct Straw 

linen by WDW using a combination 

of GA and WDW floss.

* * * * * 

The next is "Falling Leaves Sampler"

( Pattern stitch count 91 by 117)

I tried to use all the colors in this that 

reminded my of Autumn.

The model was stitched on 32ct

Ligonier Latte linen by R&R

and also uses a combination of 

GA and WDW floss.

Both patterns are $10.00 and can be

purchased from me via email or 

through my Etsy Shop

* * * * *

Thank you for all your continued support

and your friendship. 

Wishing you many Happy Stitches!

Happily Stitching

Sorry that I haven't posted much

in awhile.  We had our computer crash

last week and it just would not restart.

Luckily my DH, who

can do and fix almost anything, was 

able to diagnose the problem and

get it back up and running. YEAH!

Seems the memory cards were 

really dusty and were not making 

contact.  Needless to say, our 

computer is as dust free inside 

as we could get it.

I did feel quite faint at the thought

of not being able to access my

cross stitch files. YIKES!

AND I thought I had lost

the 2 new patterns that 

I just finished up. 

I hope to release them this weekend.

One is the "Falling Leaves

Hornbook Sampler" and the

other is the "Noblewoman's 

Pouch".

* * *
Otherwise, I have been

happily stitching. 

Here is a picture of some of 

the things I've been working

on.  I have some wonderful

finishes in mind for these.

I'm still working on Merry Christmas 

by Goode Huswife, but Black Walnut

Tree by Notforgotten Farm and 

Christmas Night by Chartmakers

are all stitched and ready to 

be finished.

* * *

Well, enjoy the rest of your

week and thanks for stopping

by to visit.  

Happy Stitching.

~Nan
