A Stitcher's Finish

Hi all.  I have a finish to show you done by 

my blogging friend Michelle.

She has stitched Enchanted Crow and 
has it already to display for Halloween.

She says that it so reminds her of the hat

in Harry Potter.  I would agree since I 

just love those movies.

 

Thanks Michelle, well done and it's great 

to see your finish.

As you know, if you've read my last post, 

my beloved Brother sewing machine got 

fried during the big Hurricane Irene 

storm and I've been out of commission

so to speak.  

There was no delay in me finding and ordering a new one and it arrived, in all it's glory, yesterday.

Oh joy!  Sewing bliss!  I spent today testing it out

and got a few things finished up.  

Boy, does it feel good 

 to be sewing again.  

Presenting..... Brother Se-400.

It's awesome.

I hope to show you some new finishes soon.

I also have 2 patterns that are almost ready 

for releasing.  One is an alphabet sampler 

that Mimi of Restoration of My 

Humble Heart and I created together 

and the other is the

Oct. Jack Pinkeep that I stitched and 

showed you in my  last post.

Plus, I have a freebie planned!  

I know, I know, we all love freebies! ; )

Happy Stitching.

A Bowl Full of Halloween

Well, it's been one heck of a week.  Hurricane Irene caused quite a scare and a few problems at the Lewis residence.  A tree blew down and took out the transformer on our street.  It sent some sort of electric spike into our house and we lost power for awhile and a few key items.  One of which being my wonderful and faithful Brother sewing machine.  Oh the tears... :(

I know it could be worse, but gosh I loved that machine.  I will need to purchase a new one soon so that I can get back to what I love.  I can still cross stitch, but there won't be any finishing going on.

On a happier note, I've got a picture of the pinkeeps I did finish before Irene fried my sewing machine.

I love how these came out and it has put a smile on my face today to see them all together in my big wooden dough bowl.  I hope to be listing these this month on TDIPT.

I hope that all of you came through the storm ok.  I know that many areas had lots of flooding.  It was quite an ordeal for all in the path of Irene.
Prim Blessings,
