"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".

Too Quiet Here

Hi Everyone!
It is too quiet here.  Hollis and Avery went back
to Richmond yesterday evening.  They finally got
their electricity back after the hurricane.  Such
mixed emotions.  Of course I wanted them to have
electricity, but I sure hated to see them go.  I also know Paul
was anxious to see his little boy and Hollis.  So I had to 
let them go.  Faye is off today and Lehmer is playing golf, 
so I am here alone.  The last few days were very hectic also 
because Faye and I were trying to get my Trunk Show
together to go to Notforgotten Farm.  Lori's "Gathering" is 
September 17th.  I hope some of you get to go. 
 It will be wonderful. 
~~~~~~~~~~
I need to thank all of you again for your continued
comments about the baby, the hurricane, the earthquake.
I hope I won't be adding any more weather events to
the list any time soon.  But, there is another hurricane
brewing and our vacation at the beach could be
affected.  I sure hope not, we have so been looking
forward to this.  It will be Avery's first beach trip!!
~~~~~~~~~~
Thought you might like a little look at some new
designs in the works.
The first is
"Be Truly Thankful".  
                   
We have so many things to
be thankful for this year, plus I truly love Thanksgiving.
and
one of the designs in my two stocking publications.
Quick and easy, plus you can get the stocking
already made.  There is also a red stocking.  Of course, 
they make adorable ornaments on their own.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another picture of my favorite topic of conversation.
Sorry for the blurriness.
Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday
weekend.   I know there are many people 
in our country still suffering from Hurricane
Irene.  I hope everything possible is being
done to ease their troubles.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra
