Beach Cottage

Since I just finished this LHN Beach Cottage I had to get busy and pop into the frame..Luckily it called for a standard size frame which I had on had...so Viola!~ It fits in just perfectly here at my beach place. The colors are really calming and for you LHN lovers, this one is a must.
I am headed back home to NC tomorrow to attend my friends wedding...Could you image being in your 50's, never married and getting married now? YIKES!..Actually he is an awesome person (as is she..) and they are perfectly in love...so, I say go for it! They will make an awesome couple!
I will sign off until next week after my return to the beach! Faye

Queen Bee and the Beach

What can I say?? I am feeling like a queen here at Cherry Grove Beach! And this LHN design is oh so fitting as my DH is constantly saying me and/or the beagle are the queens of the house....I love putting together the LHN designs as they are fairly quick and cute. This one is done on 32 ct flax linen using specified CC flosses. I put it into a scissor case with matching scissor fob. The pinks,golds and black are vibrant and its a piece that will make you smile. Who knows...maybe it is mine to keep or someone elses in an upcoming exchange...will have to wait and see!!

Heres hoping all of you queen bees out there are enjoying your summer. With only a month left before school resumes, I hope to fit more stitching and sunning into my relaxing schedule! Enjoy!

Happy Fourth of July Everyone

Hope everyone has an awesome Fourth of July!~ I made this little ornament last week. It is by Triology and I used specified colors. I did use buttons I had on hand though. Stay safe and enjoy the fireworks!~

In God We Trust

I had the most fun stitching this freebie up from Plum Street Samplers. It was very fitting to give to Amy a few days later as a small thank you. The dmc .colors were as intense as the message. For anyone looking for a quick project that is very rewarding, and with Fourth of July holiday approaching, this is the one for you! Enjoy!!

I had the absolutely best Saturday ever visiting Amy. I got alot of time in shopping and enhancing my stash.. My favorite new purchase was the chart pack by Primitive Tradions. It is titled Abigail Colby and has a needle case, thread holder, scissor case and couple other smaller items. Amy and Nicole helped me pickout alternative threads and I went with cranberry and greens from C/C Belle Soie. I cannot wait to start! Well, no photos as I am still at the beach, but in a few weeks you will see some my of finishes! Until then....

Oh....give away on Thread Gatherer if you are into samplers...Beee-utiful one!! Check it out...
