Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and all those who mother!
Flag Lady available in this Etsy shop. I stitched her on Colonial Parchment from Fabrics by Stephanie, and used DMC 816 for the red. I also slightly altered her face and her hair color. This shop has several other flag ladies with different skin tones and different dresses, all so pretty. I would stitch them all if I had time!
Have a wonderful weekend, y'all!
If you've been visiting for a while, you're probably familiar with my unfinished wooden dollhouse shelf that I use in my big shelf-top stitching displays. This year, my shelf-top display is a work-in-progress dedicated to my small but slowly growing collection of patriotic stitching. You can see a couple of sneak peeks in this post. So instead of getting out all my spring finishes, I decided to just use my little bunnies and a smaller version of my dollhouse shelf. I found this one at Target in the craft aisle for $12 and I think it's still available.
Happy Stitching!
I've been busy with finishing and other stitchy things but I did manage a wee patriotic finish. Isn't this a pretty little design? It's called Stitching Freedom by The Snowflower Diaries. I used all my favorites on this one: favorite fabric, favorite red, favorite blue, favorite green. I'm so pleased with how it turned out. Stitched on 28 ct. Natural Brown Undyed linen (Wichelt) using GAST Buckeye Scarlet, CC Cauldron, GAST Bayberry, and DMC Blanc.
Victory! Everybody gets cookies today to celebrate my accomplishment! I have finally caught up on my Christmas ornament finishing!
We got married at Christmas time and every year for the last 25 years I have stitched an ornament for each of us (Mr. Wonderful chooses his). Up until 2021 we always chose our ornaments from the annual Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament issue, but as that magazine has changed since it was sold, sometimes we find designs we like and sometimes we don't, so we choose from other sources.
Anyway, 2021 began a very stormy season in our lives, which lasted for several years, and while I was getting our ornaments stitched each year, I wasn't getting them finished. Five years of ornaments piled up.
And I've finally got them all finished. (*sniffle*)
Enjoy a little Christmas in March!
