Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
and a very happy, sunny Sunday morning to us all!
...the pollen count in our area is so high!
~ there is a film of yellow/green dust on everything.
but that won't keep me from being outside as much as I can,
soaking up the sun {and sneezing!}
I'm taking my Nettle tincture to help alleviate the itchy eyes and scratchy throat,
and putting Vaseline inside my nostrils {ew.} to keep the pollen at bay...
{hey! it really works!!}
I love seeing the colors in my gardens...
purples, yellows and greens.
I have to share with you my gorgeous full thread palettes from
oh my stars.....
the cottons....so saturated and lovely ~
every color under the rainbow!
and the silks....soft and luxurious ~
I cannot wait to stitch with them!
and, speaking of stitching...
I will be re-stitching the model for my
'Eliza Phelps' sampler.
I designed her in 2008, and either sold or lost the model...
she is charted using DMC cotton threads,
but I think you know how I will stitch her now {Classic Colorworks!}
and will have the DMC conversion in the new chart as well ~
Here is a great conversion for DMC to Classic Colorworks from
"Eliza Phelps 1860...
little Eliza loved the village she and her family lived in ~
notice she even included her Church and Home..."
Hoping you have a wonderful Sunday my friends...
Blessings from the Farm
~
