"DESIGNS THAT REFLECT OUR
AMERICAN HERITAGE"

Welcome to my blog. I'm probably very much like all of you who love the needlearts. My life revolves around family, friends, home and all things that help to make for a more contented life. When time allows; cooking, gardening, decorating, and collecting are my joys. I look forward to sharing all of these things with you. I also hope to keep you up to date on what is going on at Homespun Elegance, in regard to the needlework designs and the "Plain & Fancy Wares" that we offer.

Wishing you "Many Happy Stitches".

I'm back for my second post!!

I sent my first Blog post along with my Website Publication.  I hope you all got it.  If you didn't and would like to be notified of new Posts and Proclamations, just to to www.homespunelegance.com to sign up.

All is well in Virginia except for the sweltering humidity,  high temperatures, and thunderstorms.  We are having late summer in late spring.  Storms are always problematic, but Lehmer and I are babysitting Hollis and Paul's St. Bernard, Zeus.  


The big baby (127 lbs!) is afraid of storms and kept me up from about 11:00 pm to 3:00 am whining, pacing, and literally trying to get in my lap.  What an experience!  We had another storm on Tuesday during the day.  He tried to get on Faye (who works with me).  We had to force him to lay down and then she put her feet and legs on him for the duration of the storm.  I hate to think what he might do if we were not at home.  The things we do for our children!  Hollis and Paul's house is for sale and while it is on the market the dog cannot be in the house.  It has been over two weeks now and no buyers.  Please keep your fingers crossed for us and them.







As for the needlework world, I am teasing you with a little bit of a new design.  If you like antiques, stay tuned.


Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

  5. Poor old Zeus -- we expect the little ones to be afraid of thunder and lightning, but when the big goofy ones are afraid, it's just funny (but not to them).

    I'm thrilled about your blog! I've so enjoyed stitching your patterns, and I look forward to the sneak peeks!

  6. Many thanks to all of you for your wonderful comments. It has taken me a while to figure this out, with the help of my son, Cameron. I was writing replies but they were not going anywhere. Anyway, now I know what to do.

    Please keep checking back. I will have many new things to share with you.

    Many Happy Stitches,
    Sandra
