"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".
Sandra

Coming Soon!

Good Evening Everyone!
Hope all of you had a great weekend.  We got
back from Richmond this afternoon with a new
computer in tow.  Thanks to my very talented
son, everything has been transferred to the new
computer, so we will be up and running tomorrow.
It certainly makes life interesting when two 
computers decide to stop working in about
the same week.  Thank goodness the one I
use for graphing and text was fixable -
also thanks to Cameron.
We made a quick stop at Hollis' on the way
home.  No news there.  Still waiting anxiously.
XXXXXXXXXX
While I had a few minutes, I thought I would
show you what will be available in about two
weeks.
"Cradle Of Christmas Joy"
Baby's lst Ornament 
Dedicated to Avery
Note that I changed out the toy
soldier for a doll.  Now you can
stitch this for a little girl as well.
"Crows 'A Plenty"
This design was adapted from an
applique pattern that I did a few  years
ago.  If any of you are interested in seeing
it, just let me know.
Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend.  Ours
was busy, busy as usual.  I'll be in touch.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

More Sneak Peeks

Good Evening Everyone!!
I'm beginning to feel a little panicked.  Hollis
has been told by her DR. that she can go any day
now, and when that happens I will be out of here
and I do not know when I will be back.  So you
can only imagine what kind of dilemma I have.
I'm trying to prioritize all of my new things.  Do I
finish graphing, finish stitching, send things away to
be stitched, photograph what has already been 
stitched, or just call it a day and start over tomorrow.
Then I think, I might not have tomorrow.
So I decided to write to all of you and show you
a few more new things that are almost ready.
So, here goes ~~~~
"CROWS 'A PLENTY"  
and
"Haunted Hill House"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS 
~~If any of you live anywhere near Alexandria, Virginia,
there is a wonderful shoppe -- In Stitches.
You really must go sometime, but I especially want 
you to go now, because I have a Trunk Show going on.
Hope you can make it.
~~JUST CROSS STITCH has a Special Edition soft 
cover book about to be released, full of great
Halloween designs.  I was honored to be asked to
contribute a design to this publication.  It should
be a great addition to the stashes of all
Halloween lovers.
~~And, last but not least, Lori from Notforgotten Farm
has asked me to send her a Trunk Show for her
Gathering Of Primitive Friends.  This will be held
at her farm, Saturday, September 17th.  A goode
time should be had by all.  
~~"Fancy Fridays" are going to be postponed for a
while, just until Avery arrives and everything
settles down a little.  My mind just cannot deal
with an additional thing.
I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend.  I
am heading upstairs to make "Crows 'A Gathering"
into a pillow.  It is going to be trimmed with that
wonderful new chenille trim from
R & R Reproductions.  It is just the perfect color.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra
