A Peek ~

....a little snippet of my new
Christmas Adam & Christmas Eve
sampler.....



did you notice the peppermint-striped serpent?





Miss Flea (Felicia) stitched this one up in record time...
her stitches are impeccable
(I secretly despise her...kidding)
the Gentle Art threads chosen were perfect for this understated design, I think.
& the linen is 40ct (stitched over 2) Natural Brown from Wichelt ~

now she's working on my
Sledding in Connecticut design...in Virginia Beach!
I know I said I would work it, but ~
...well she just does such a great job!!

The Summer in the Valley show yesterday was AWESOME!
my thanks to so many who dared to gather in my crowded little booth!!!!
I loved talking with you all, putting faces to names and chatting with you...
...you really are the reason I love doing what I do!
of COURSE I brought my camera...why do you ask?
oh...no pictures?
nope.
Joan & I were so busy that we plumb forgot...
Joan, you were thee best help to me and I am forever grateful.
I treasure our friendship!
Donna & Linda put on a great show...so much hard work surely pays off!!

Well folks, I will begin unpacking the van today ~
have to go grocery shopping and do laundry...
then it's back to stitching on
Mary Snow's Sewing Pocket!!




Blessings from the Farm...

Love how the Christmas Adam and Christmas Eve sampler is looking!! Does Flea give tips? I'm wondering how she makes such perfect stitches..... I do a half-decent job, but no one would ever call my stitching "impeccable!" I could use some good advice..... ;)

Glad your show went so well, and that you met so many wonderful people! I do wish we had some good shows in my neck of the woods, but we have nothing.

Looking forward to seeing all your finished projects soon!
