 New sampler added to my selling blog.......

Make-do.......



Sometimes you just have to make do til another frame can be found....I stitched this sampler months ago and have had it just laying on my work table waiting to be charted...Well, I wasn't thinking about a frame when I did this one....Hmmmmm, I can make it into a pillow...

Sooooo, in the meantime I'm going to leave it in this make-do frame, so I can at least see it......:) And who knows, I just might leave it this way....

What new projects have you all been working on?

Until next time!!~~hugs, Jen

Eye pleasing blues lay in a Bennington Pottery bowl in my gathering room.....A sweet as pie new pinkeep that i got a few weeks ago from Jackie of T.F.C. Folkart when she  was offering some goodies for sale....Ohhhhh!!! How I just LOVE her!!! She is just precious!!!!! Jackie offers this pattern for sale on her picturetrail...

Until next time~~hugs, Jen

Hey! I did some rearranging today and wanted to share my tall doll I got back before Christmas....She normally holds a big gingerbread man that came with her, but i tucked one of my peacock pinkeeps in her arms and moved her over by my early blue fabrics in the gathering room....I was so fortunate to get her after the Simple Goods show from Jackie of T.F.C. Folkart....I got her and a black santa...When I saw the antique blue coverlet that their clothing was made from I just had to have them, but I figured I would be too late...I couldn't believe it when she messaged me back and told me they were mine...Yeah! 

So, I'm leaving her out and just put my santa up, and I'm going to enjoying adding new things for her to hold this year....:)

It was getting dark, but I snapped some pics with and without the flash....


I do know that Jackie sells the pattern for her if anyone wants to make them one...

Until next time~~hugs, Jen

A common sense law....

That is what it is...A common sense law..It's not gun control...It's about keeping guns locked up so children can't get them....Telling a child that they are never to touch your loaded gun that is under your bed is NOT ENOUGH!! Will you please read and sign? For Little Rob? To protect any children?....A parent should NEVER have to worry about their child going to a friend's home and NEVER coming home...That is my family's reality....Especially my brother and sister-in-law's...13 year old Little Rob will never come home.....

Early Blues.....




I've been playing around today with my old 1800's fabrics....I bought 3 ladders back in November from Janet's shop...When I saw them I knew they'd be perfect to display my fabrics....I couldn't enjoy them with them stacked up unless I went through them....So, I spent the afternoon going through my bigger pieces and hanging them on the ladders and the big display rack i already had that I unfolded to give more display room...How I wonder if my grandmothers had dresses made from these blues...Oh, how I wish I had them or a piece of them if they did....So, what are y'all up to this new year????

First Sampler of 2012........

I just finished my first sampler of the year....It is an **Elizabeth's Garden** design...I have had the pattern for years and have stitched it several times but not in this size that it will fit a 8" x 10" frame.....It took 8 days to do it with alot of movie watching....I have many new things planned from old patterns I've collected through the year....I can't wait!!

Until next time....hugs! Jen
