Wintry Peacock Pinkeep

If you remember I showed this last week, but now I have it all stuffed and finished.

This is that adorable freebie pattern from Appleseed Prims.  I stitched this on stained light sand 36 ct linen with overdyed floss.  The bottom is a yummy teal blue houndstooth wool and I've added a bit of natural ric rac too.  It's all stuffed with sawdust and ready to be listed on TDIPT in Feb.

I also got the Little by Little Quaker Blackbird piece all stained and attached to the black lollipop top hornbook that I made custom for this piece.

I've attached the sampler to the hornbook with these great little blackened steel tacks.  I love the primitive look it gives it.

I sure hope the customer I created this for likes it.

 We have really gotten our share of snow this winter and from what I here more is on the way.

Stay safe and warm and as always

Happy Stitching.

A Bit of Stitching

I have been so busy.  I have a new job that I just started and I'm trying to get use to the new routine at the new daycare center.   I've been trying to squeeze in as much stitching time as I can here and there and I thought I'd show you some of the pieces.  They're stitched, but I haven't been able to get to the finishing, though I do have a good idea what each of them will become.

The top one is from Blackbird Designs called Peacock Pinkeep.  Oh, how I do love stitching peacocks.  I hope to use this to top of a round box.

The bottom piece is a little design I created to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Plan is to make it into a sawdust filled pinkeep or cupboard hanger.

The piece on the left is by Little By Little called Quaker Blackbird.  Soon to be displayed on a hornbook and the other piece is a freebie design by Appleseed Prim.

Jennie Lynn has a few freebie patterns and others for sale.  I just love the simplicity of this pattern, the colors and of course, the Peacock : )  I have some beautiful teal blue houndstooth wool I'd love to use on this piece.  

Thank you to everyone for your comments and your support for my new patterns.  I appreciate you taking the time from your busy life to visit.

Happy stitching and hopefully finishing : )
