"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".

Little Avery Is Here

Good Evening Everyone!
With much relief and happiness, I want to announce
that we have been blessed with a healthy and adorable
grandson.  Avery was born August 2nd.  Both Hollis
and Avery are doing beautifully.  Unfortunately,
things didn't happen easily.  Hollis had to have a
C-section, so her recovery will be a little longer.
I want to take this time to thank you so much for
all of your well wishes over the months and for
listening to me and looking at all the things I
made for this little guy.  It has meant so much to
me that there are so many of you out there who
think about us and care enough to write.  It
touches my heart.  You are all wonderful.
XXXXXXXXXX
Now that he is here I will be gone for a little
while, spending time in Richmond helping
Hollis recover and do whatever I can to help.
Time permitting, I may share some of my happiness
with you, if you don't mind.  Faye will be manning
the telephones and shipping.  Unfortunately, I'm the
one who does all of the printing, so some orders
may be delayed.  I hope you will understand.
I'll be in touch,
Sandra

  21. What a sweet pic - love the hair (mine had that much almost when born almost 18 years ago...but it was white blonde so it didn't show up that much)! Congrats to you Grandma - and hope Hollis has a quick recovery....and good homecoming to Avery to his newly discovered family.
