Good Wednesday Morning
Friends & Folk...
another beautiful Spring morning here at the farm ~
the earth is greening and the birds are twitterpating!
buds are budding and blooms are blooming...
always an exciting time of year, to see what new plantings come up,
after a cold Winter.
Per usual,
I am stitching.
{shocking!}
and am starting on a new design for a woman's sewing pocket ~
I have made/designed pockets in the past,
and thought I might share a few of them for you here:
"Dove Basket" ~ embroidery
and
"Sparrow's Pocket" ~ UNcounted cross stitch
these pockets/bags are so easy to make, really...
they look harder than they are to finish!
I love using them in my seasonal decor to hold natural drieds/feathers/etc...
So the one in progress is being worked on 35ct 'Beige' from Weeks Dye Works
~ a beautiful, creamy white-ish beige with a touch of greeny-grey.
the threads I chose are soft and spring-hued:
Gentle Art 'Apricot Blush' & 'Cornhusk'
&
Weeks Dye Works 'Verdigris' and 'Grape Vine'
I'm using two strands of floss over two threads of linen,
as I wanted my stitches and motifs to stand out...
Peter gifted me with my favorite color Hyacinth for Easter...
I keep it next to my favorite tattered old wingback chair, which is my very favorite place to stitch.
...and that deep purple color...
be still my heart
❤
this old chair has seen many days...
as threadbare and ratty as it looks,
it is comfy and feels like a hug from an old friend each time I sit down to stitch ~
One day I plan on reupholstering it with old french feedsacks.
