Liberty Inn

Hello dear friends!  Were you glued to CNN Friday evening as I was?  I just couldn't turn it off.
Such a strange world in which we live. My heart goes out to those in Boston as well as those in Texas.

I thought it only fitting that I should get this little piece finished and up on the wall:


"Liberty Inn"
Chessie and Me
36 ct linen and silks as kitted

 
This design had a bit of everything...lots of tent stitch over one, rhodes stitch, satin stitch, and an eyelet door.  I really enjoyed stitching it and love how it looks hanging with along with my other 2 patriotic pieces.  Thanks again Chris!
 
I need to visit the dollar store to see if they have more of these little house frames again this year.  I only purchased 3 when they had them last year and they are really cute for these small patriotic samplers.  They are rather rustic looking as purchased but a coat of Briwax finishes them up quite nicely.
 
Thank you all for stopping by and reading my ramblings.  Wishing you all a fabulous 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!
