"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".

Ready~Yeah!!!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I am over my head right now in a number of 
things that are not easy to deal with, but because so many
of you have written to ask where my Christmas 
designs are, I wanted you
to know the reason you have not been hearing from me.
I have been working, but not at my normal speed.
The good news is that although I am running behind, my
 2015 ANNUAL
 CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
will be shipping next week.
Faye will be back from vacation (thank goodness) and
maybe we can get back to some sense of
normalcy, at least for a little while.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Without further delay, here they are~

"Christmassy Stuff" 
Sampler
~~~~~
"Delivering Yummies" 
Santa
~~~~~
"Snowbirds In Tow" 
Snowman
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will be shipping to my AUTO's and Distributors
first and then they will be added to my ETSY Shoppe.
If any Shoppe owners would like to add to their
AUTO or place pre-orders, please let me know
this week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will be back in touch soon!
"Many Happy Stitches",
Sandra
