"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".

New Stuff!

 Good Evening Everyone!
I'm beginning to feel like the person who
"cries wolf", but after another visit to the
Doctor today, there just cannot be many more
 days left.  Hollis' due date is July 27th -
tomorrow.
Consequently, I have decided to release my
last two designs in "A Halloween Year" a
few weeks early.  Along with that will be
"Haunted Hill House".  I think we are all
thinking cool Autumn days anyway thanks 
to the incredible heat wave that we are
suffering through.
These publications will start shipping
tomorrow to our AUTOS and our 
distributors.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"Haunted Hill House"
Features my new Brown-Dot
frame and Olde Brass "Star Pumpkin"
button.  Both sold separately.
"Spooky"
 Features my "Ghost" charm and
Olde Brass "Star" button.  Both
sold separately.
"Not I"
Features my "Pumpkin" brass charm
and Olde Brass "Star" button.  Both
sold separately.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
I hope you see something you like.  I really
hate to see the "Halloween Year" come to
a close.  It has been a fun collection.  I will
be starting a new collection sometime in
the coming months, but I haven't decided
on the theme yet.
Back to work to get these designs ready for
shipment.  Hope you have a great evening.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

New Stuff

Good Morning Everyone!!
This is a quick post this morning.  Just wanted to let you
know that I am still around.  So, so busy with all manner
of things.  Between the yard, baby things, and designing,
there is never much left of the day.  
I did manage to ship my Auto, so my new designs should be 
available for you soon.  If you cannot find them, they are listed 
on the right side panel and I hope to have them in my Etsy 
Shoppe soon.  Just email me if you need something.
First are the 9th and 10th designs in 
"A Halloween Year".
For your Halloween stitching pleasure, here are --
"Spooky Feline and Friends" and 
"House on Pumpkin Hill"
For all of us who love patriotic themed needlework,
and sheep, here is
"Delivering Liberty".
Of course, all of the charms, buttons,
and the frame are available from
Homespun Elegance.
XXXXXXXXXX
Have a happy day everyone with
"Many Happy Stitches,"
Sandra

More New Stuff

Good Morning Everyone!
Thank you so much for your wonderful
comments from the Online Show.  Please forgive
 me for not responding to all of them, but I so appreciate 
 the kind things you had to say.  If you had a question
or a request, I will certainly get back to you. The response 
to the Online Show has been great.  I hope you had a
 chance to visit.   Winners of the four drawings will be 
announced in a few days.
XXXXXXXXXX
 We are so busy around
here!  Trying to get the new things ready for the
Online Show, gathering models and products to
send a trunk show to Celebration of Needlework, and
 shipping our Auto and new stuff to our distributors.
I am exhausted and we are not finished by any
means.  But before I get started on all of that, I
want to share with you my newest products.
XXXXXXXXXX
"May You Be Blessed With Only The Best"
This is the second in my 
"Tokens Of Affection" collection.
"Oh To Be A Witch"
This is "May"of my
"A Halloween Year" collection.
"Sitting Pretty"
This is "April" of my 
"A Halloween Year" collection.
XXXXXXXXXX
There are only two more left in this collection.
I would like your input on whether I should
continue for another year.  Halloween is so
popular, but I don't want to over do it.  Please
let me know what you think.  How about a 
sampler a month?  I think that might be fun.
XXXXXXXXXX
There will be a "Fancy Friday" this week, so
stay tuned.
"Many Happy Stitches",
Sandra

I'm Back From The Move!

Good Evening Everyone!
Lehmer and I survived the move without any
more injuries than we already had.  This is a great
accomplishment for the likes of us.  All went very
well.  Hollis and Paul are safely moved and are
so happy with their new abode.  They are very
thankful to the six strong young men who so
graciously helped them.
Late in afternoon of the move, the door bell rang
and a very sweet lady across the street brought
over a plate of homemade cookies.  Hollis had
the biggest smile on her face.  What a wonderful
thing for a complete stranger to do.  I think they
are going to be very happy in this neighborhood.
XXXXXXXXXX
Now she can really start planning for the baby.
What an exciting and happy time ahead for all
of us.  I am sure all of you are going to get
sick and tired of hearing me talk about the
baby.  If I get too obnoxious, just let me know.
XXXXXXXXXX
I have a few sneak peaks for you.  Three new
publications will be shipped next week.   
This is from my new collection "Tokens Of Affection".
"May You Be Blessed ......"
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The next two are from my "A Halloween Year".
Both of these are turning out so cute.  Hope you like
them.
 "Sitting Pretty"
Oh To Be a Witch"
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Just another reminder.  The Online Needlework 
Show" starts on the l4th.  Please take a few
minutes to check it out.  I think you will enjoy your
visit because there are many designers showcasing 
their wares.
Have a good evening everyone.  
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra
