~ New Cross Stitch Pattern ~

Hello Friends & Folk!

An evening post for a change ~

After waiting most of the day for this new pattern to appear in my Etsy shop,

~ Finally it is there!

This is a quick little stitch that I named

‘Indian Summer’

{that is when I designed and started stitching it}

I realize it is now November, but hey...

that little turkey is just too cute standing there

in his garden of corn and pumpkins ~ being visited by the crescent-man-in-the-moon !!

Available as a Paper/mailed pattern and PDF/Download

I hope you love him as much as I do!

~ Freebie Time ~

Hello my stitching friends & folk ~

happy Thursday afternoon to you all! 

FINALLY

today's weather seems more Autumnal, more fall-ish

more...better!

I'm working on a new Thanksgiving cross stitch design, 

and I though I would gift you all with a coordinating freebie...

so here is:

Big Red Acorn

click on the chart and the symbol legend below that {separately}, save them to your computer

and then print them out any size you'd like.

 The model {{above}} that I'm stitching for the new design is called 

~ Talking Turkey ~

and the colors of DMC threads I'm using to stitch this are the very same that are in this freebie...

I'm stitching Talking Turkey onto 32ct Cedar Plank linen from Lakeside Linens 

2/over/2

I love using my mom's old maple-wood 'QUEEN' hoop with coin-screw

when I stitch

 ♥

 Hope you enjoy the Freebie!

I will be adding it to my 'FREEBIES" page 

under 'my link's over there on the upper tight column of this blog for future use.

*Friendly Reminder*

I love to offer my friends and customers free designs...to stitch for themselves, or others ~

and as the designer, I also allow you to sell a limited number of finished projects from this design.

However, 

any mechanical copying/printing/mass producing and/or selling of this freebie 

or any of my free charts/graphs/designs

 is strictly prohibited and protected by United States Copyright laws © 

~ I kindly ask that you give me credit for design 

if you will be sharing it and/or posting about it on social media.

 Good Morning Friends & Folk!

~ while walking in the woods yesterday 

the tang of woodsmoke filled my lungs along with the crisp air of late November.

Crows cackled in the distance and cows lowed across our neighbors pasture, 

... telling us that rain might be on it's way.

I foraged for mushrooms, turkey feathers and antlers ~ 

filling my basket with plump acorns instead

that will be scattered about the farmhouse for a little decorating fun.

ah, the pleasures of simple living.
