Plain & Fancy Merchant

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm back from Richmond.   Poor little Avery is

teething and recovering from a nasty Spring cold,

that he so kindly gave to me, Lehmer, and now

Hollis and Paul.  I think I need to start taking

Vitamin C or something.  This is the second cold

he has given me.  He is also back in day care

two days a week, hence the cold, and it has 

ruined his schedule.  A trying time for all,

especially for the little guy.  Today was a better

day, so I think he is recovering.  Of course,

he goes back to daycare Thursday and Friday.

Please don't let him catch something else.

"A FAMILY HOMESTEAD"

"Home Is The Nicest Word

There Is"

Laura Ingalls Wilder from

Little House On The Prairie

(One of  my favorite shows.  You can tell how

old and sentimental I am.  I am planning a

series of designs based on her wise and

funny quotes.)

I'm finally ready to show you my completed

sampler.  Note the surname under the quote and

the single initials to the left of the house - mine, Lehmer's, 

Hollis' and Cameron's.  If you need it there is plenty of

 space for more initials.  I have to paint the frame,

but it won't be long now.

"TO STITCH IS BLISS"

This is almost ready as well.  There is another

project in this publication - a "Needle Roll".

"NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I plan to have  all of these ready in about

two weeks.  I hope it has been worth the wait.

"Many Happy Stitches",
