Cross stitch smalls

Although I was busy knitting scarfs I did manage to squeeze in time for some cross stitch. I participated in the HOE Spring Stitching Exchange and stitched this little gem: 2013 HOE Spring Stitching Exchange Designer: Isazabelle Design: L'oiseau Perche Finish: Floss Holder Stitched for: Leigh D The design is an online Freebie, just click on the link above. For this exchange I decided to try a new finish, something I had never done and did not have a pattern for. I have made floss holders but…

Hello, everyone! How has February been treating you? I can't believe it's been more than three weeks since my last post--I guess my goal of two posts per month isn't going to be met for February, is it? I spent a wonderful week in New York visiting my mom (who is doing very well--thanks to all of you who ask about her!) in early February. Since I returned home, I have been stitching a lot, but since several things are for gifts, I have only two new finishes to share with you today. My…

If you're like me, you love to cross stitch, but sometimes worry about overdoing it - I mean, how many framed pieces do you need? I love making art that is useful, and in the past year have spent...

Happy Tuesday, dear friends. Please come on in, and let's chat for awhile. Tea is brewing ,and I have some shortbread cookies for your munching pleasure. I was so touched by all of the IG love from my recent post of my basket of houses. My collection is slowly growing . I started working on another one last night, but that is for a future post. My newest house is called Spring Green Saltbox. Big ole' flowers surround this home. Boy, have they been fertilized. When I was a child, we lived in…

I finished my piece and now you can make one for yourself or as a gift if you would like. I love looking at antique samplers and the naive forms of the animals. I redid some antique motifs and added my own touches and design, to make this pillow. It is great as a bowl filler or you can add a hanger for a prim cupboard. I made mine on 18 count aida, but I think this would look nice on primitive linen. I just don't have the eyes for the tiny holes. I hope you enjoy my new pattern and have fun…

I had a fun day of finishing yesterday and managed to get 5 FFO’s under my belt. First up was my Prairie Schooler Santa 2004, that I stitched for the 12 in 23 Ornament Challenge. (I know you may have seen this in my last post, but just in case you missed it, here is is again. Then I ffo’d my June Cross Stitch Camp piece. I made ‘Strawberry Faire’ by October House into a little pillow, adding some crocheted trim that I made with a skein of DMC floss. The next thing I picked up out of the box…
