{ Weep Not }

...here is the finished stitch for my design:

 

weep not for me...

 

~ "Weep Not" ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three sweet sisters mourning the loss of their departed one.

each brings a gift in remembrance of her ~

... a basket, a wreath and a beloved book.

her favorite blooms accompany her in her journey in a nearby urn

...as an empty ladderback chair awaits another mourner...

Not sure how I'll finish this one...

I have an antique frame that I might use,

...or I may just make a sawdust pillow out of it and back it with some crewel fabric ~

we'll see!!!

 

almost finished with 'OWL O'ween' ....

so then that will make three finished.

 

I will begin stitching

'Widows Weeds'

and

Miss Flea (Felicia) is finishing up 'Oldwick Burying Ground'...

 

Thanks for all of your input (emails & comments here) re: my hand dyed linen in darker colors...
I have a perfect WINTER design in mind that I think you'll like ~

and speaking of winter designs, the NOV/DEC issue of Country Sampler Magazine

will include a free cross stitch ornament pattern for you to download from their website along with

the article on our farmhouse....

 

ahhhh ~ refreshing to think about winter isn't it?

 

Have a beautiful day my Friends!!
