Thanks for all the nice comments about my small felted wool pouch I showed last night...It truly is a work in progress and as I perfect things, there will more to show..I especially like that you can highlight with cross stitch on the front and "make it yours..." And, yes, I plan on taking emails for orders.. Thanks~~~~
I wanted to show this week's finish...
Random thoughts of Springtime

This was a fun little stitch....When you see the chart, you will bearly recognize it as the designer showcased it in shades of green...(for spring!) And, me, of course, dreamed of it in red.... Here is what you'd be looking for.....
My sweet French friend, Marylin, had gifted me the beautiful thread and the hornbook.... As luck would have it, I was able to finish my finish....And, stitch the little bunny motif as a scissor fob to boot!!
You can bearly see it, but it just pops against the brown hornbook (thanks again to Marylin!!...) because of the Antique Red Victorian Motto chenille placed along the edges....
I truly appreciate all of the good wishes coming mom's way.... A broken hip for someone with Alzheimers is difficult but we will hold hope that she is tough enough understand and get through physical therapy and rehab... I thank you my friends.....
Well, the ACC tournament has begun...Go UNC Tarheels.....I have a craving for something prim to stitch now...hmnmmmm, what will it be?????
Hugs and love from the Carolinas to you!!

What a lovely finish, Faye, and a great horn book from Marylin. I love your red wool pouch too in your previous post!
Prayers will continue for a speedy recovery for your mom. It's hard to watch your parents age, especially with Alzheimer's.
Take care!

Your hornbook is so cute! The red looks great too....way to make it your own.
Prayers for mom too! Good luck to UNC in the tournament.
Wonderful finish, Faye. It looks perfect on the hornbook.
Faye - your take on "Random Thoughts of Spring" is wonderful and uniquely you!
Love the red Springtime finish and the little fob too!
Sending prayers for your mom.
Beautiful work! The red is fabulous!

I really like this pattern and the way that you put the word Spring on the sie. Does this pattern show you hoe to do this? And the small scissor keep is so cute. I made one 15 years ago with a pansy design but my puppies chewed on it several years ago. You have given me a great idea! Thank you!
Well, another darling piece and a fantastic finish! I really do like the way the design looks in the red - a Faye signature!
What a darling spring finish, and it's perfect for the hornbook..and what is better than red? Hope your mom is doing ok..my mom, being near ninety, well, I know how you must worry.

So pretty in red. Wishing your mother well.
I do REALLY love the red. I am sorry for your mom as well as the difficulty that disease can bring for all.
Gorgeous finish and I love the red, Faye... Will be thinking of you and your mom this week. Hope you can make it to visit her very soon...
Oh que j'aime vos broderies ! Je suis heureuse de vous avoir gâté !!! Bisous de France
What a sweet finish!! So adorable. I hope your mom heals quickly--I'm sure it must be doubly hard as she struggles with the Alzheimers. Big hugs.
Beautiful finishes Faye!! I love the red!
I'm so sorry again about your mom. I hope she has a speedy recovery!! Lots of hugs!!!
What a great finish Faye!! The hornbook finish is perfect! Love that you did it in red. The green just doesn't do it! lol

Also this perfect finish on the hornbook!
