Good Afternoon Everyone!

I know many of you have already started preparing

for Thanksgiving.  Not I!!  I've just finished my

last publication for 2011 and it will be on its way

to my Automatic Shoppes today.  Yeah!!

So here they are in all their Christmas glory.

Sweet little projects that can be stitched in just

a few hours.  The finishing is also easy.  You

know me, if it isn't simple to finish than it isn't

a Homespun Elegance project.

"MERRY BIRDIES"

$8.00

and

"Rounds 'A Plenty I - Christmas"

$9.00

 This is a side view so that you can see that the design

goes all the way around.

A closeup so you can see the Amber Pearl Star

button at the top.

These designs are stitched on a 27 Count linen

banding.  I used Weeks Dye Works Pearl

Cotton and "Merlot Houndstooth" felted wool

for the top and the bottom.  Even a good 

quality wool felt would work for the top and

bottom.  We also have an Embellishment Pack

that includes one length of the linen banding

and the "Amber Pearl Star" button.

I hope all of you have a great evening.  I can now

start my Thanksgiving preparations.  Lehmer and

I are so excited.  We will be spending Thanksgiving

with our family and we have 

 two new sweet babies to add to our joy -

Avery and Piper.  Piper is my sister's third little 
granddaughter.  We are definitely going to need a 

bigger dining room table soon.
We have been so blessed and are so thankful.

Well, no "Merry Stitches" for me tonight.
The kitchen is calling.
"Merry Stitches" to you though,

Good Evening Everyone!

Another beautiful Autumn day here in

Virginia.  A little on the chilly side and

more than a little windy.  It is snowing

leaves in our yard.  I really need to take a

picture of our yard when it is in leaf

overload.  Poor Lehmer, he spends 

so much time trying to get rid of the

leaves.  It is a thankless job, but thank

goodness for leaf blowers and that

he can blow them into our woods.

Bagging them is out of the question.

I have had requests for a complete 

viewing of my "Merry Birdies".  Since

I hope to release them later next week or

the beginning of the following week, I

decided to go ahead and show them to you.

  I do think they are cute and definitely a

 quick stitch.

Also, I know many of you are starting

to think about your Christmas 

shopping.  With that in mind, I decided

to do a Christmas scissor fob ~

"Santa Profile".

The heart is made out of wood and I have 

decoupaged it with one of my original

little paintings.  Nicely aged and sealed

for durability.  Waxed linen thread

is attached for your scissors.

Sorry, scissors not included!

Measures 2 5/8" high X 1 3/8" wide.

If you would like one of these, they

are $11.50, shipping included.

Just email or call.  We take Visa, MC,

Paypal, money orders, and personal checks.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend with

 "Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra
