Boris

Hello friends and folk!  I hope you are all enjoying a restful Sunday.

I have been perusing the new releases coming from the Nashville market.  Have you seen anything you just love?  I am loving the new Liberty kit from Chessie and me.  Oh, and Catherine sent me a pic of the new Rosewood Manor Winter Quaker - chock full of cardinals.  I do love it but I don't know about those Valdani threads.  Will file that one away for now.  :o)  And I do like Paulette's latest companions for Sergei - Viktor and Irina.  Speaking of which...


"Boris"
Plum Street Samplers
36 ct Tree of Life Cocoa Double Dip Linen
Floss mostly as charted with a few DMC substitutes
I suppose Olga will be next on my list.  I plan to have Boris framed just as I did Sergei so I can hang them together.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll end up doing the entire series eventually as they are lots of fun to stitch. 

I am heading for my happy chair this afternoon with a springy Prairie Schooler design.  Chuck roast and veggies in the crock pot - I think I'll stitch until it's time to eat!

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!

Image
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!
