Gorgeous Grapevine!


We've had this idea in the back of our minds for months and we finally created a pattern for this! It turned out better than we expected. It is truly beautiful! This one is done in wool felt, the cream background is a heavy wool, and the grape leaves are a dark green wool felt. I embroidered vines in both brown and green, and the beads are a dark purple.

Backyard Birdhouses


I posted this work in progress earlier, and mom and I finished it this week. (Guess I should have ironed that new tablecloth first!! LOL) Although we like the blues in this one, we decided to do some other colors, and started another one in barn red, tan and .....(wait to see...!)

Wishing for Spring...



I need spring flowers and warmer weather to inspire new designs! Mom and I created this candle mat first as the Prim bunny jumping over 2 carrots, each with embroidered tops. We did that one on black. Here's a picture.

Yesterday (yes, just yesterday!) it was 60 degrees here in Ohio. It smelled like Spring, I just wanted to go plant flowers! This transformed bunny is more 'springy'!
