Some Goodies

Good Friday Afternoon!

Hope all is well in your little part of the world.

I think ours may blow away.  The winds are

howling and the temperatures are dropping.

Today is definitely a stay inside day for me,

so I thought I would take a couple minutes

 to share a glimpse of some new

things and offer you a "Fancy Friday" special.

I know I have really been neglectful on my

"Fancy Friday"promise of many months ago.

Life sure gets in the way of plans.

~~~NEW STUFF COMING ~~~

 Valentine Posies

 Winter Joy

 Star Light Sampler Pincushion

Needles and Pins Pincushion

All of these will be ready really soon.

Quick little projects for your stitching joy.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

In the meantime I waned to offer you a 

little Valentine Special.  Both of these can

be stitched up in no time and ready to give

to that special someone or keep for your

Valentine decorations.

The retail value of both of these designs is

$13.00.  Until next Friday you can have

both for $8.50 which includes the shipping

or $6.50 for either of them which includes

the shipping.  The hand-painted wooded

button in "Love Simplified" is available

from me as well as the Olde Brass "Heart"

buttons in "Love Always".  

I have made this sweet heart pillow for

someone out there.  It is constructed of

this wonderful old coverlet fabric with

a felted wool back.  I wrapped it with

aged scrim, vintage trim and a special

vintage button.  It is all hand stitched.

I hope someone out there loves it.

Measures 8" wide X 9" long.

$37.00 which includes the shipping.

If you are interested in any of my specials,

just email or call me.  I take personal

checks, Visa, MC, and Paypal.

XXXXXXXXXX

Well, I think that is enough for today.

I need to start graphing the new things.

Hope you all have a great weekend with

"Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra

New Stuff

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.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

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,
Sandra
