Springtime in red....

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

40 count creme linen
"Cuba" red Atalie silk


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!!

Faye

  6. 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!

  29. 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!
