Hello!

 Hi!

Greetings from windy So. Florida, so lucky that those two (2) storms ~ Laura and Marco have decided to take another path other than to our state. Prayers to those in their paths.

I've been busy doing some finishing the last few days, so happy with how these turned out. Take a look!

This is Blessed by Priscilla & Chelsea of Stitching with the Housewives (a freebie) and I just LOVE it! Makes a great tier tray accent piece. So pretty with the sunflowers! Stitched on a scrap of 14ct black aida using DMC and GAST threads. Finished using sticky board, buffalo check fabric, and a little dainty piece of lace trim!

Next...

I believe this was a piece by Little House Needleworks (LHN) or maybe Prairie Schooler. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Stitched on a scrap piece of 14ct white aida using DMC threads. Finished on sticky board covered with burgandy fabric and a green ribbon. Cute again as a tier tray accent piece or even nice on a small easel in the living room.

Finally, 

For Keeps by The Trilogy! I LOVE this one! So cute! Stitching on 14ct fiddlers cloth using DMC threads. Finished on sticky board covered with a burgandy/green paisley fabric and accented with a piece of ercu lace. Once again, a nice tier tray accent piece or even a nice stand up piece on a small easel in the bedroom on the nightstand!

ALL three of these finished pieces are available in my ETSY shop:

Scrapbooking ~

Here is my latest finish for an on-going WIP. This is a scrapbook cover that fits over a 12"X12" album. Available from 123Stitch.com. I used the Cherrywood Designs chart NEEDLES for this, using DMC white.



I scrapbook my smaller pieces of cross stitch that are too small to frame or finish into something worthwhile that I could use around the house.



The charts I used for these pieces were: Prairie Schooler ~ 'S is for Spring', I got this chart using the wayback machine, The Drawn Thread ~ Spring Keeper, this was also found using the wayback machine,(http://web.archive.org/web/20030508011225/http://www.thedrawnthread.com/) and then finally Lizzie*Kate's ~ Hello Spring, found on her website (http://www.lizziekate.com/free.html). All stitched on Aida using DMC thread.

Thanks for letting me share these with you. May all your stitches be happy ones!

In XxX's,
♥ Elizabeth M.
