"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 From The Move!

Good Evening Everyone!
Lehmer and I survived the move without any
more injuries than we already had.  This is a great
accomplishment for the likes of us.  All went very
well.  Hollis and Paul are safely moved and are
so happy with their new abode.  They are very
thankful to the six strong young men who so
graciously helped them.
Late in afternoon of the move, the door bell rang
and a very sweet lady across the street brought
over a plate of homemade cookies.  Hollis had
the biggest smile on her face.  What a wonderful
thing for a complete stranger to do.  I think they
are going to be very happy in this neighborhood.
XXXXXXXXXX
Now she can really start planning for the baby.
What an exciting and happy time ahead for all
of us.  I am sure all of you are going to get
sick and tired of hearing me talk about the
baby.  If I get too obnoxious, just let me know.
XXXXXXXXXX
I have a few sneak peaks for you.  Three new
publications will be shipped next week.   
This is from my new collection "Tokens Of Affection".
"May You Be Blessed ......"
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The next two are from my "A Halloween Year".
Both of these are turning out so cute.  Hope you like
them.
 "Sitting Pretty"
Oh To Be a Witch"
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Just another reminder.  The Online Needlework 
Show" starts on the l4th.  Please take a few
minutes to check it out.  I think you will enjoy your
visit because there are many designers showcasing 
their wares.
Have a good evening everyone.  
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra
