After the Retreat…
I never showed you the photos of what we did after the retreat was over! Pat and Ann, Norma and Sybil, and Jeanette and I headed into Washington, D.C., and despite the government closings of many of the places we were hoping to see, we had a fantastic time. (Except for the part where I desperately needed to find a…

Mary’s Sampler, Part 5
Welcome back! Is everyone still hanging in there? We've only got 4 weeks left after today! If you've fallen behind, or decided to just catch up at a later date, I'd like to gently urge you to get caught up as soon as possible (if you really do want a newly-finished sampler to begin your holiday season with!), because for…

October Goodies
Before the busy weekend descends upon us all, I have to show you a few things that are just too cute to not share! First, look at these darling new Needleminders from Kelmscott Designs… this one is a miniature version of the Owl Scissors, and although in the photo I've got it resting on a Jeanette Douglas Quaker Pincushion, you…

Thankful for Thee
Good morning! When I dropped Sophie off to school a short while ago, the sky was painted in the most beautiful array of pinks and purples and blues, and the clouds rippled out in a way that made it all so dramatic! It was so breathtaking, and all I could say was, "Thank you, Lord." What a Great Artist He…

Your shops will have them next week, so if you'd like yours to set one aside for you, be sure and give them a call! Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday (right along with Christmas), and I can't wait to finally have our…

Twenty!
Bean, Bean, the Party Machine. That was the nickname given to Sabrina at summer camp one year when she was in middle school, and she's definitely still living up to it at twenty. But in a good way, mind you; she loves to have fun wherever she goes, despite the new nickname given to her in college: Soberina. 🙂 This…

My daughter, Bre, has decided to open up her own Etsy shop to debut her darling new Halloween Owls chart! I'm so proud of her, and love how everything she sets her creative mind to turns out so happy.

Dyeing to Stitch Retreat, Part 2
Welcome back! Here are some more pictures from our retreat weekend, which was an absolutely wonderful time! My classes were so much fun (perhaps I'm only speaking for myself! Ha!), and it was a fabulous time chatting with lots of familiar friends and newly-made ones. I'm sad to say I didn't get any pictures of the class pieces that the…
