Sampler Sisters Of The Thread

WooHoo! Got this in the mail today! The awesome frame is from Valley House Primitives! Thanks Joy & Janet!

Grave rubbings

it was so pretty here




Mariah and I went to a couple graveyards yesterday and got some rubbings. I would love to go to some in Cape Cod where there are all those skull and angel ones (someday) but we did find some cool old stones~and that led me to an idea for a design, which I have started~motifs from old tombstones.
Here are some pics

Here's a peek at Sampler Sisters Of The Thread~Hope you all like it

Awesome weekend!

Mariah and I took the dogs for a ride.

The weather was simply gorgeous! Got a whole bunch of yard work done. Not much on the designing front though~ Mystic Sampler is getting framed and Sampler Sisters Of The Thread is almost stitched (thanks Laurie!)

I am busy getting ready for my youngest kiddo~Mariah's, graduation party. Mike and I will be facing the empty nest syndrome after 26 years. Gosh, where did the time go?!


I've got 2 models currently being stitched~Sampler Sisters and Mystic Sampler. Am working on Cape Cod's Boys (thanks to Siobhan) and Witches Hollow.

Warmth!

It was a beautiful day! While working in the yard, I spotted this fine fellow. I just love toads and frogs. After some yard work, I sat out in the sun and read for awhile. It was glorious! There's nothing like warm sun and bare feet after a really, really long, cold winter!
On the designing front~I'm almost done with Sampler Sisters, then on to another alphabet one, Mystic Sampler, I need some inspiration to get going on Cape Cod's Boys. Melissa came up with an awesome name for my big Halloween design, it's going to be called "Witches Hollow"! How cool is that!! Thanks again Melissa!!
