Good Morning---sharing a finish of Sweet Slumber sampler

Sweet Slumber sampler

designed by Feathers in the Nest

 

stitched  and finished by Michele at Stitches

This is a quick stitch by Michele. I was totally amazed as I posted it Saturday morning after designing it, she stitched in that day and posted pics on her blog.

Doesn't it look gorgeous the way she finished it?

Her blog is called Stitches

Here's her blog:  http://stitchesbymh.blogspot.com/

Nest. I instantly thought this pattern would make a lovely little pillow...one with a fragrant sachet tucked into it on the bed. To really make a fantastic addition to the bed and adventure to relaxation. SO I snagged it, and stitched it up. I had some fabric that I wasn't sure what to stitch on it until this and some lace and ribbon and and and....oh! let me just show you what I've done. LOL The ends come undone so you fragrant sachets will be easy to insert. (SNIFF HERE) LOL yum! It's soft and just so nice. I did change the color choices and the date. Finished pillow sits at 16 inches in length from tip to tip.

Great job, Michelle!!!

Onto the next tomorrow........

Some stitchy stash to much needed vision

Taking a break helps me sometimes get things in gear. I have had alot in a good way going on and staying so busy with those issues that I have to brake sometimes to balance myself.

So encouraging this past weekend and again through the week are really cool temps here in the North Georgia Mountains, several nights at the homestead in the upper 50's, quite cool and dry. I sense that Fall is just around the corner........I can just feel it in the air even though the days are fairly warm.

This means more porch time and my favorite time of year to prelude to Winter (my not so fave time of year). The whole mountainside can be seen in DMC!

I've worked very little on the BBD sampler, and the color continues to be a fave of mine. Mulberry. Just in time for Fall.

I finished almost a bird today and I slept 11 hours last night so methinks tonight I might have to finish this motif if my eyes stay awake.

My new gadget I got at Joanne's is a Mighty Bright magnifier. It's awesome.

and it's bright!

I also grabbed a new pair of stork gold Gingher's while I was there.

And this foldable prop it travel board that closes when finished into my stitching bag quite well.

Yep. Folded to pick up and put in my bag on the go.

And this mailie item is definitely not for stitching but it's something received in the mail

Abbie sends her love to all.

and that's all folks till next time......

It's sweater weather at this hour and bedtime.

Hope your weekend starts off on a good note. I have MUCH to do this weekend around the homestead.

I went junkin' today and will show you those later. Junkin' is just in my blood. :)
