"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".

Goodies Flor Sale . . .

IT'S GETTING TOO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS
AND I AM IN A PANIC - EVEN MORE
THAN USUAL.
The first problem this year was that Thanksgiving
was a week later and I never realized that until
it was too late.  I pretty much save anything that
has to do with Christmas until after Thanksgiving.
Really paying for it now.
~THEN~
to add insult to injury I came down with
a nasty upper respiratory thing the day after
Thanksgiving and I am just starting to feel
a little better. Just about coughed myself to
death and that is so exhausting.
~THEN~
Avery came down with a nasty stomach 
virus last Saturday, which
he then gave to Paul and then to Hollis.
Hollis was really, really sick.  She ran a
high fever in addition to all the other
horrible things.  Couldn't have happened
at a worse time because of what she
had going on at work.  There was no
way she could take care of Avery, so 
Lehmer and I brought him home with us
on Monday.  He's two, remember, and
nothing gets done with him here, except
playing with and loving this little boy.
So - no decorating, shopping, cooking,
even thinking about these things out
of the question.
While he was here, he got a terrible
upper respiratory infection and had
to go to the DR this am.  I'm
just a little stressed.  At least, he is now on
medicine, so he should be better soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usually I try to offer you some more "goodies" for
gift giving or for yourself, but  I'm behind on
that too.  Here are a few things you might be
interested in.

Christmas Trees

Don't you love these little trees?  I added the little
hand-painted pots, a little glitter, and some red beads.
They are about 9" tall.
  These would be wonderful
added to your "primitive" decorating.
You will receive all three for $18.00 (includes shipping)

That is it for tonight.  I hope you find something
you like.  
I need to go make another list to add to my other lists!!
