"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".

Online Show Preview

Good Evening Everyone!
It is with great sadness that I write this post.  The tragedy
in Boston has once again broken our collective hearts.
When will this evil stop.  When such overwhelming
sadness happens, it makes it hard to go on with our
normal lives, and makes us feel guilty for having done
so.  I know that is how I feel today.  I had to finish doing
all the work for this Online Show that starts Thursday.
Even though I didn't feel like it, I had to do it.  Also,
little Avery had to have surgery this morning to have
tubes put in his ears.  He has had one ear infection after
another one, so it had to be done.  Everything went OK.
Hollis has had a tough time today because he really
did not feel well.  Unfortunately, he has a really bad ear
infection now, but they had to do it anyway, so I 
believe that is what made it harder for him.  We are
hoping that tomorrow will be a better day for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I wanted to let you see the NEW things that I am
offering in the Online Show.  Everything will be
going out to my AUTOs in a few days as well.
SAMPLER FRIENDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEE HAPPY
The scissor fob is sold separately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SEEK JOY - STITCH
The pre-finished Pin Poke is sold separately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SNIPPETS & STITCHES COLLECTION
"ELEGANT LACE SAMPLER"
LTD. EDITION
This is a Ltd. Ed. because you will
receive the beautiful "vintage" lace
to embellish this piece along with
the sweet "Antiqued Crown"
brass charm.  
This particular project pack will
end when the lace is gone.  I hope
to find something equally as nice and
offer it again, but that will only happen 
if I am really lucky.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
SNIPPETS & STITCHES COLLECTION
"WEEPING WILLOW"
LTD. EDITION
This is another Ltd. Ed. piece because of the
availability of the trim forming the limbs
of the willow tree.  I have been having such
fun coming up with these designs.
The Online Needlework Show opens at 2:00 EST
on Thursday.  To read all the details and descriptions
of these new designs, please visit the show
and enjoy.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~
ONLINE SHOW SPECIAL
My Stitching Lady
canvas bag, which retails for $15.00 will be 
offered to you through the shoppes for $11.00,
for the duration of the show.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
As usual, I will have a drawing each day for
a wonderful assortment of goodies.  All you have
to do is be a FOLLOWER and leave a comment.
If you have any questions about these new things,
just email me or wait and read about them
at the Show.  Remember to let your shoppe know
if you would like to have any of these things.
I hope you see something you like.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

  12. Love them all. Been thinking the same way about the Boston tragedy. But then, I considered that if we do stop living normally, the terrorists win. Their goal is to make us so afraid that we aren't able to pursue our liberty and happiness. We have to bravely carry on with those things (like stitching) that give us comfort and inspiration. Thanks for keeping my needles busy. ;0)

  15. So happy to see you at The Needlework show! I am loving all of your new designs. I think Love Thy Country is my favorite. Like you, I am praying for all of the families affected by the terror in Boston. I keep asking the same thing...when will the evilness in mens' hearts end, although I think we both know the answer to that question! God bless, and I am praying for Avery!
