Freebie for you to stitch

Today I worked on several designing pieces but this one I had to share now. I haven't models for any yet...well, almost one. The book The Velveteen Rabbit is one of my favorite childhood books and it was published in 1922 by Marjorie Williams. Her principles are so applicable to adults as well as children.

Colors used are

DMC 223,224, and 225 for the pinks

 and DMC 433 for medium brown.

Hope you enjoy it. I plan to stitch into a pillowkeep with some coffee staining afterwards.

If you share please give me credit for the design, Feathers in the Nest. Thanks,

Have a great week!

It' a muggy night in Georgia

Tonight, we were sitting on the back porch for a few and talking about the weekend and Body Guard looked up to the foggy window and said, "did you make this heart with the line through it?" and he pointed to the glass. I said, no but looked and sure enough there was the door all fogged up but a perfect heart with a arrow through it.

He swears he didn't do, and I didn't do it.

The pictures of it are much more blurry than I could get them.

Have you ever felt the spirit of someone who has passed? Sometimes, it happens in dreams. But this, I felt it again. Makes me wonder sometimes and I don't think that this was coincidental.

Well, here's hoping you have a great week and feel at peace in some kind of way every day.

Till later,

Jennifer

Progress on Abigail Sampler

It's nice to take a break from the daily grind.

My office space gives me a spot to hang my

medical thinking cap for a few or a reading

room. No fanciness, and mostly messy, and

ever-evolving space of literature and work.

I found this pillow in needlepoint at a thrift store

for 5 bucks last year! I love it!

In my office space, I have all the pictures of my kids, big and small! This pic was taken at my old house in South Georgia. One of my faves as I used to play the piano for them to sleep at night sometimes.

Hoping they are happy now as young adults finding out what the real world is about like we all had to do in our 20's.  ;)

I can trade my office chair for my stitching chair and take a breather from scientific-evidence based practice to needlework, where there is no black and white view but creativity in progress. I love both and the balance between the two is sometimes tedious to find as I tend more to the creative part at this stage of my life.

I have many things to inspire my spirit as it flutters around the nest today.

so far, still working on this one.

just snapped a pic of Abbie, as she was asleep in the her favorite chair. Having a bad hair day?

I heart Abbie.  ; )

I think it's treat time now.
