Clothespin Ditty Bag ~

Hi Folks!

Well I am feeling SO much better ~ thanks to all for the well-wishes :)

We did get to visit Hannah yesterday ~ I am so happy we did! 

We went to Richmond to Cary Town, a district near where she lives...

...it was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time with her and it was great seeing Skyler too!

It was some much-needed time and I'm happy we all got to spend some time together ~ 

...can't wait for her to come home for the Holidays.

I wanted to share my finish of the little 

Clothespin Ditty Bag

that I've been stitching up, to hold Peters awesome clothespins:

plain & simple

 after finishing the cross stitching, I simply folded back the linen to within 1/4" of the last stitch on all 4 sides of the project and stitched it to the front of a bag that I made using repro & early fabrics...

here is the patch on the back:

~ beautiful browns ~

 here is a close up of the patched hole on the front of the bag:

I used ealry brown/cream homespun for that...

use it up ~ wear it out ~ make it do ~ or do without.

 the pattern is now available in our ETSY shop ~

the pattern includes the finishing instructions for the finished bag too!

one of our black colonial racks in our kitchen holds the ditty bag ~

I am off to do some grocery shopping today ~

our cupboards are bare and I would like to bake some fresh rosemary bread tomorrow...

Come by again soon &

* Blessed be *
