"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

A Little Glimpse

Good Evening Everyone!
Well, it is the end of another weekend.  I always
 think I am going to get so much done and usually
I am very disappointed.  Well, I am proud to
say that Lehmer and I got a lot on our list
accomplished.  As I have talked about before,
we have been paying rent on a storage unit
for four years.  It is full of stuff left from the
shoppe.  Well, we made a dent in it.  Moved
quite a lot of stuff home to the upstairs of our
garage.  Still have to get rid of what we moved
but at least it is home and not there.  Still have
 a ways to go.  Lots of antique and vintage
props and furniture that I guess we will be
putting on Craig's List.  Wish all of you lived
closer, I would certainly have a Homespun
Elegance Yard Sale.  That would be so
much fun.
Found lots of boxes filled with more frames,
fabric, fibers, etc.  Hope to get all of that
on the blog or Etsy in the near future.
Also, got out and picked up some flowers
for my garden.  Still have to get everything
planted, but that will wait until next week.
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is what I have to share with you ~
"Americans Care About Each Other" ~
my newest design.
I had showed you a few other designs, but I think
I want to get this one finished in time for July 4th.
Just seems more appropriate and I think it is so
true of Americans.  We do care about each.
Hope you like this "little glimpse".
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll be leaving in the morning to take care of Avery
Monday and Tuesday.  Hope to have more to
share when I return and more to offer you from
the storage unit.
Thank you so much for all of your orders this
past week.  
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

Coming Soon!

Good Evening Everyone!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.
It has been absolutely beautiful in Virginia.  We
just had a nice visit from our son, Cameron.
He came to work on my computers (poor thing -
he has such an idiot for a Mother), but we
did get to spend some quality time sitting out
on the patio in the back yard.  The weather is
stunning, but my backyard and the garden
borders are awful.  Lots of work ahead to whip
them in shape.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before I start getting ready to head back to
Richmond, I wanted to share with you my two
designs that will ship to distributors and
automatic shoppes mid week.
Hope you like them.  They are sweet little
designs for the celebrations that are coming
soon ~ weddings and graduations.
Very quick stitches with just the right
sentiment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
PETITE GRADUATION SAMPLER
A graduation sampler that even has the initials
of the high school or college.
Retail $7.50
Stitched on 28 Count "Lambswool" using DMC.
I embellished it with my "Tiny Black" button and
mounted in my 5 X 7 Brown Swirled Grain
frame.
 PETITE WEDDING SAMPLER
Very sweetly embellished with "Vintage"
crocheted edging and my "Heartlet" brass
charm.  This will also fit in a 5 X 7 frame.
Includes surname initial and initials of the
bridge and groom.
Retail $7.50
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both of these should be available in your
favorite shoppe very soon.  I will be putting
them in my ETSY shoppe later, so they will
be available to you if you cannot find them
Just let me know if I can help you.
Have a great week. 
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra
