"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 Morning!
My new designs are almost ready.  Yeah!!!
So happy to have the stitching finished, now
just have to complete the finishing, graph every
thing, photograph everything, print everything.
Needless to say, I have a lot more to do, but I
am determined to ship these designs next week.
Hope you like them and more importantly,
want to add them to your stash.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WINE IS, COFFEE IS, 
TEA IS . . ."
This is the first design in my new collection~
"A JOYFUL LIFE".  
This collection is all about
those little or big things that bring us joy,
happiness, etc.  Sometimes funny,
sometimes heartfelt, sometimes just a saying that 
I relate too and hope you do too.
 I stitched these on 30 Count "Creek Bed Brown" from
R and Reproductions.  Fibers used were
Gentle Art's "Brethren Blue" & "Maple Syrup",
Weeks Dye Works' Swamp Water", and
Classic Color Works' "Old Brick".
The frame is a new grained design called
"Thumb Print Wave".  I hand paint and grain
 each of these frames as they are ordered.
~~~Next~~~
Continuing with my 
"Halloween Year II" Collection 
I give you
"DOUBLE TROUBLE" 
This little "cutie" is stitched on 30 Count
"Straw" hand-dyed linen from 
Weeks Dye Works.  It is embellished with
my "Tiny Brass Star" charms and trimmed
with Dames Of The Needle's adorable
"Fra Orange" Pom Pom fringe.
Two more designs to go and the collection
will be complete.  Yeah!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope to be back later today with a fun
Give Away for my stitching friends,
"Many Happy Stitches",

New Stuff

Hi Everyone!
Two posts in two days, what is the world coming
to?  I need to do as much as I can because I will
be going back to babysit Avery on Monday
and then I'm gone for two days.  Playing with
the baby is much more fun than working, so
not much gets down when I'm there.

My Auto will be shipped next week and 
everything will be going to the distributors
as well.

A Few Sneak Peaks

Good Evening Everyone!!
First of all, a little more Spring decorating!
I've been trying to find "vintage" paper mache 
bunnies, but it has taken me years to collect these few.
I especially love the tiny blue one on the box and hope he 
is the real thing.  Unfortunately, they are making such good
 fakes now, that I'm not sure.  Oh well, I'm going to 
pretend he is the real thing because I like him so much.
xxxxxxxxxx
I hope all is well in your homes tonight.  I need to
be stitching, but I thought I would take a break and
send you a little sampling of things to come.
"Tokens Of Affection" is a new collection beginning
this month.  The designs will be dedicated to friends and
 family.  I plan to keep them fairly small but very special
 at the same time.  Sometimes you just need a little
something for that special someone and you need
it in a hurry.  Hopefully these designs will fill
that need.
"You Make My Heart Happy" is the very first one.
In my Bits & Pieces Collection I am adding,
It's Keen To Go "Green" is next.
I hope you see something you might like.
xxxxxxxxx
Happily we sold out of my "Stitching Pocket -
Plus" in Nashville, but we just got in a few more this 
week.  I am adding it to my Etsy shoppe along with the
publication that goes with it.
Here is another picture and a good
view of the inside pockets.

Wishing all of you a wonderful evening,
with "Many Happy Stitches",
Sandra
