"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

Something New For You!

Good Evening Everyone!
I can't believe I'm on the computer at 10:30 at
night.  Avery, Hollis, and Paul came home
tonight for the weekend.  It is their fourth
wedding anniversary - which I cannot believe -
so they are enjoying a night on the town while
Grammie and Papa babysit.  Well, Avery had
other ideas about going to bed, but we finally
won out and he is blissfully asleep.  I'm absolutely
wired so here I am and happy to announce 
the models for
"MERRY EWEIES"
are finished.  If you love sheep as I do, I
cannot believe that you will not want these
added to your Christmas decorations.
There are actually four graphs.  Each of
the little ornaments are just a little 
different from the long Cupboard Tuck, 
pin cushion, or Hanging.
The wonderful rick rack and chenille are courtesy
of Elizabeth from Dames Of The Needle.  It is 
just the perfect color for these projects.  This new
line of trims is called "From The Cauldron".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"COLONIAL CHRISTMAS"
is also ready.
This was a design I did for the Just Cross Stitch
seminar in Colonial Williamsburg - hence
the colonial theme.  I'm calling it a Hanging
Pocket.  Fill it with fresh boxwood and some
holly berries and it will be wonderful in your home.
Now you can see the wonderful Week's Dye
Works' felted wool that makes the back of the pocket
Of course, the Olde Brass "Pineapple" adds
the perfect touch.  An alphabet is provided for
an initial in the center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you like my new wares.  Am trying to ship these
late next week, so let me know if you are interested.
Have a great weekend!  You know what Lehmer and I will 
be doing.  There won't be much stitching going on 
around here.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra
