"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".

A Few Things For You

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I spent the morning in my garden before it got
too hot.  Finally got most of my plants in
the ground.  Just a few more to go, then I 
can sit back and watch them grow.
Remember earlier in the spring when I told
you we were killing two over -grown
flower beds.  Well we did it.  I must
admit that Lehmer did most of the really
hard work.
Now I am having the fun of redesigning
these beds.  Never again will I cram dozens 
and dozens of plants together.  I have
vowed to leave enough room around any
and all plants so I can weed, fertilize, and
dead head without the fear of a copperhead
moccasin biting me.
The front bed is going to be my white bed
with a few large pink rose bushes 
as anchor plants.  I love white flowers, they
just glow at night.  Anyway, I'll post
some pictures soon.

Now, for a few goodies.  Hopefully, you'll
find something you like.

"Sheltering Tree" Bookmarks
This little bookmark was made from one of my
paintings.  A subsequent needlework design
was done based on the painting.  I'll show you

  1. This may be the first year ever without plants for me....My back was out for a couple of months...and the weather was, shall we say, less than cooperative? Less than a month ago, we had snow...now it's rain. At this point, there are no plants to choose from and even if there were, I guess it doesn't pay given that in two months we can have frost again. :-( So, please post photos!!! Gotta get my fix somehow!!! And....eehhh...snakes!!! Me no likey - at all!!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
