This is my latest finish and I’m very happy with how this out. I really love pinks and greens on this one, they are so soft and yummy and a delight to work with. Developing the details on this one was loads of fun. Making the strawberries with the trellis is one of my favorite […]

A Sheepish Halloween is a project I’ve had completed for a long time, or maybe it wasn’t quite complete. I knew it was missing something, so finally I picked up my needle and added french knots to it, even a bunch of them! (Hard to go wrong with french knots, isn’t it?) The little sheep

Nothing wrong with being a day late as usual here. I’m working on two projects, although one is on the sidelines while waiting for more crewel colors.

I had this design idea sitting around for weeks before I finally came around and decided it was time to make it. I’m glad I did! Really glad even. I can honestly say this one was fun, very fun even. Soft wools, bright colors, fun shapes. I think I shouldn’t have waited so long! Now
My latest finish: I borrowed the center of the art exhibit project I have been working on (which is finished and shipped off!) to make this project. I thought it was a fun a design and I wanted to have it as a “memory” of the art project for my stack of crewel squares I
