A Stitching Update

It has been a while since I've showcased my stitching projects. They haven't gotten too much love lately, but I have worked on them. I had such high goals this years for my stitching, but that was before I embarked on this adventure with my online store. Building up my inventory has taken much of my free time. It won't be easy juggling everything I want to do especially come September when my son goes back to school and our new bowling season starts again.


Here is Bluebell by Nora Corbett.

Those wings are almost done. I can't wait! I have decided to save my pennies and send this lovely lady off to Rensel Studios for framing when she is done. I found a Fan Page on Facebook for Jill Rensel's work and I am just blown away by their framing work. She does hand painting and embellishments on the mats. The frames she chooses are just perfect. I think her work is worth every penny and many people say her fees are extremely reasonable too.

I also (finally) starting working on the first pattern of the Country Needlework's series called Frosty Forest. Right now I am working on Raccoon Cabin



I'm stitching the whole series together on one piece of fabric, 32 CT Pearl Grey Linen. These designs seem small, but I find that they do take more time than they seem. There are a lot of color changes in the houses. I love the colors though. They look great.

That is all for today. Thank you so much for visiting with me. I hope you are having a fantastic summer where ever you are.
