"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".

Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament

Good Morning Everyone!
I've been meaning to do this and keep
forgetting.  So my brain finally engaged
this morning, so here is my design
in the 
JUST CROSS STITCH
CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
ISSUE
"Noel Birds"
Just to give you a little info, 
I used
30 Count "Mink" from R & R Reproductions~
one of my absolute favorite linens.
The chenille and "Open Crown" brass
charm are available from me.
Hope you like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, just want to remind you to go to
the memory/recipe/etc. that JCS asks
all of us to do.
There is a recipe that I use 
for low fat cookies.  I don't know where
I found this recipe (would love to give
credit), but it is great.  Just thought
you might like to know. 
I am on a forever diet and now I think
I'm wheat sensitive, so I'll be trying to
substitute another kind of flour.
If it works I'll let you know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
  I'm working on my Annual Ornaments. 
 Many of you have been asking about them.  
Well, they are coming along, I promise.
 Hope you have a great day with
"Many Happy Stitches",
Sandra
