Believe

Hello!  I hope you all were able to enjoy lovely weather like we had here in NC this weekend.  Yesterday had me wishing for autumn.  It was overcast and cool with a glorious breeze blowing.  I can feel that Autumn and Halloween stitching calling to me.  :o)

I have a finish to show you.


"Believe"
Hinzeit
36 ct linen/DMC floss




I couldn't get a great picture of the full piece as it is so long and skinny.  The shuttle frame is by Kay's Frames and I just love it.  Even though it has the feel of a winter piece I plan to display it year round.  "Believe" can be applied to our daily life in so many ways - Believe in yourself, Believe in the Lord, Believe it can happen....and the list goes on.  I haven't yet decided where I will hang it.  For now it is resting on a table with a few other things I have on display right now.

I am off to give Lola a bath and then maybe dig through my stash to find my next small to stitch.
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

Cold and Icy

Image
Hello friends!  It has been cold and icy here this weekend.  Work closed early Friday and the ice was so bad yesterday we didn't even open.  I took advantage of the extra time and did the finishing on my With Thy Needle Friendship samplers. Victorian Motto cluny lace trim for this one. Chenille - again from Victorian Motto. I completed the stitching on this "Bluebird Serenade" and finished it up too.  I tried a new technique for me with the ric rac - I wove two different shades of pink together. See how different it looks?  Love it! And here they are, so happy together! I also spent some time with my sewing machine and made up these mug mats for Valentine's Day.  This is the January Label Crew project by Sweetwater. I had several scraps left over and since I am not one to waste such pretty bits... I used them to make these sweet fabric valentines.  :o)   A winner has been selected....

I Stitched!

Something about this series really appeals to me. I just love the look of chalkboards but they are so messy. This way I get the chalkboard but not the mess! I have an idea for my finish using this little chalkboard I found at Wal-Mart. I think with a bit of Briwax and some ribbon it will be cute. I just hope it turns out like the picture in my head. Stay tuned!
