Mustard Seed Manor

Happy Hump Day!!

I'm happy it's already Wednesday, yay, when it feels like Tuesday

I do hope everyone had a fun and safe long Labor Day weekend

We went out for a Harley ride to Wisconsin, as always, for a couple days, but it was almost too hot for the bike. I did get to a couple needle shops, I didn't buy much. They seemed not to have any of the newer stuff.

I have a finish I want to share 

Mustard Seed Manor Sewing Book by Stacy Nash Primitives

Stitched on 35ct 18th Century Rook W/Gentle Arts threads

Brown Check homespun, and wool

Let's try that again with no paw. 

I'm not sure if I have a photo bomber or she's my stitchy protector, she's a sweetie, she always has to be involved.

There was lots of hand stitching on this piece with the front linen piece, the inside black wool, the pocket, the pincushion and the binding, but well worth it.

I received this in the mail last Saturday 

Limited edition kit of Gobble Gobble by Brenda @ With Thy Needle & Thread

Unfortunately it's sold out

It's a very small piece, so I should have this done real soon

I received a call from Lynn's of Madison that my HRH Houses is ready to be picked up from framing. 

I know I waited along time to frame it. The frame matches my HRH Villages.

Happy Stitching!!

A start, a finish

Happy Sunday!!

I'm going to start with the finish...

Mourning Tree Sewing Bag by Stacy Nash Primitives

Stitched on PTP 40ct pewter linen w/GA threads

The start is by The Scarlett House

Penny Pumpkin 

Stitching on 36ct Lakeside Meadow Rue linen w/GA threads 

I couldn't resist that white pumpkin

I have lots to do today, so I can enjoy my vacation week, yay!!

Happy Stitching!!!

Rotted, but not Forgotted

Happy Thursday!!

I have 2 finish finishes

The first up is my August ornament challenge with Anna 

Not Forgotted by Plum Street Samplers 

The fabric in the background is what I used for the backing 

I found the patten in the JCS Halłoween 2012 issue, but don't look for it so fast, the charted design is not in the magazine, by mistake. I believe I had to get the pattern from her website. I printed it out and put it in my magazine

Next....

I made a pillow filled with sawdust and lavender. This design is For Spacious Skies by Heartstring Samplery.

I'm itching to start stitching something new... maybe Penny Pumpkin 

Tata, my lovely stitching peeps, until next time 

WIPing Wednesday

Happy Wednesday evening!

Here's a few WIP's, I've been stitching on 

A little here, a little there

Mourning Tree Sewing Bag by Stacy Nash 

The Book of Spells by The Goode Huswife

Heartland Sampler by The Scarlett House

As you can see I'm all over the map on this one

The Red Deer Sampler  by Gigi R

I finished stitching this one..

For Spacious Skies by Heartstring Samplings

Did you notice I stitched the verse in dungarees instead of schneckley? I didn't think I would have enough to finish the verse after stitching the house, I had very little left over from another design.

I'm finishing it into a pillow, maybe with sawdust, maybe with lavender.

 Decisions! Decisions!

Tata! for now

Finish-Finishes

Happy Friday! One and all

I have two finishes this week 

Autumn Posey by Plum Street Samplers 

6" shaker box

I also finished the last of the three Besty's Stockings by Plum Street Samplers 

I joined a SAL on a Halloween group on Facebook for Scream House by Just Nan 

A section a month, my first section for July is finished

Oops, except for the backstitch border

Oh, and I don't have a pic of my new start, I guess you'll have to wait until next post

I'll be back soon 

Tats

Spot the Horse

Happy Tuesday,

I'm so in love with Spot the Horse finished into a pouch

Here's my dear granddaughter modeling the pouch for me 

She loves it too and keeps asking if she can take it home, I will one of these days

The backing is like a silk fabric, cut from vintage old scarf found at a second hand store

And here's a better up close view

This is the inside...

The design is by Carriage House Samplings. It's a partial design and I also changed out the sun color to accomdiate the fabric. I want to give Marly over at samplers-and-santas.blogspot credit for the inspiration to a pouch idea.

And hot off the hoops is Mustard Seed Manor Sewing Pouch

By Stacy Nash Primitives.  I have to find the black wool and golden brown wool to get it finished. 

Here's a snap of the inside of the book, and  the fabric that come with the chart

I'm on vacation for 11 days, what to do, haha, maybe more finishing??!!

Have a happy and safe Independance Day

Another one of Betsy's stocking

Here's another one of Betsy's Stockings. This is my ornament for June 

 By Plum Street Samplings 

I can't upload or use the camera for blogpress, ever since I upgraded to IOS 8.0 on the iPad 

Can anyone help??? I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance 

Have a great work week 

Snooty Parrots

Happy Saturday!!

I finished Snooty Parrots 

By Barbara Ana, stitched on 40ct vintage light exampler linen W/ gentle art threads

The picture looks blurry, but blogger is the only way I can post with a photo

My blogpress won't add a photo, not sure what's wrong, I upgraded my iPad to IOS 8.0

Maybe that's why 

Have a great summer
