Bunnies, Chick and My Two Favorite Kids...

Life had been crazy around here...Jaxon's Mom and Dad have been in the Bahamas for the last week...So he has been staying with Grandma and Grandpa, also here is his partner in crime, Mckenna has been with us during the day while her folks work....I know... I'm one of those crazy Grandma that has to post a picture of her grand kids when ever she can find an excuse...I know they are mine but how could you not love those cute faces....I really think the best part about having kids, is the grand kids...You can love them to pieces. spoil them rotten and then when they are on a sugar high send them home....The way I look at it, that is great pay back...

To keep my sanity I have been stay up late at night. watching old movies and stitching or should I say trying to stitch...After a long day with the kids I think I spent more time sleeping in front of old movies that stitching....But here are a few things that I just finished to list on Early Work Mercantile tomorrow...I absolutely love the chick and bunny pin-keeps they were super fun to make and of course they are another great design from Brenda at Country Stitches...

I said before that my new favorite fabrics is silk matka....This time I did a punch needle on it and I love the silks knobby look with the punch needle....


Last is Miss Lapin one more design from Brenda Gervais...She is stitch on 40 count new castle flax linen over two threads.....She was a labor of love, my eyes aren't what they use to be....I think I need to look for stronger magnifying glasses, because I really love how the small count turns out and I have a great Halloween patten that I am dying to do that is done on 28 count over one thread....Do any of you great stitches out there have glasses that you love???? I don't think I dare start the Halloween project until I find some new ones.....
That is about all the fun facts I have for today...Thanks so much for stopping by and your nice comment always make my day.....Take care, Nancy

Happy Birthday TDIPT.....

Hello all....The weather in the pacific northwest has been rainy and windy, which give me more time to stitch and sew....Because who want to be out in that mess??? Not me...Here are a few of the things I have been working on....I think that my sewing room look like spring went off in it.....It is full a new wonderful spring fabric...Which make me very happy....I think if I liked to cook as much as I like to sew my husband would like it a lot better....



I love these spring egg...I stood them on little stands so they can be put anywhere or I could just lay them in a basket....


I have been working with polymer clay lately...I love to use buttons on my stitching....I got a little carried away this time around and need four button whole to hold the basket button to the fabric....I have a few more large buttons that I have been working on and can't wait to use them...


And last is my spring pillow...I really like the dimensional look I get when I use wool applique and cross stitch together.....

That is about all the fun I have been having.....These are my new items that I'm listing on TIPT tonight....If you have the time I would love it if you could check out TDIPT birthday...
There will be lots of great hand work and a fun birthday give away...

I'm off....We have company coming to dinner tonight and I'm sure they would like something to eat...So I'm thinking if they show up and I'm still on the computer that wouldn't be a good thing.....Thanks so much for stopping by and for all the kind comment, you make my day, Nancy
