Just updated Etsy with All Thing Winter & Christmas

Good morning everyone. Just a quick note that I just updated the Etsy shop with all Winter and Christmas charts that I designed. And I have a new Etsy shop coming soon too. I will keep this one for all By The Bay things but my other shop will be for wool, and other things. My mom has been knitting things for the new shop and I am crocheting things and felting them. Busy busy busy!!!
Watch for more news coming soon

I have some info for the class at Yankee Cross Stitch. The "Wool Feather Tree" will be on Saturday December 3rd from 12:30 to 3:30. The cost is $35.00 and is limited to 8 students. Also I will be having a workshop for some long legged birds made with wool, felt, and a little whimsy. That will be one the same day in the morning from 9:00 to 12:00. The cost for the workshop is $30.00.
(I will get some more pictures soon, the models are at her shop)
So I guess that day will be class day!!!  :)))

Have a great day and I am off to make more birds for samples
Also a quick note that I started a page up above under the header that is called "All Things Stunpwork". This will be a page that I can update with my stumpwork projects to share with you!!

Wool Feather Tree all finished :))))

Bailey cant wait for Christmas. She is already waiting under the Charlie Brown tree!!

Good morning,
I am still working on the newsletter with the free Christmas design for an ornament and also directions for finishing a Stitch An Inche as a tiny 1 1/2 inch ornament made with felt or wool. So it will be worth the extra wait, I hope :)   But I finished my wool feather tree and I am sharing a photo with you. It measures 12 inches and is sitting in a red base. I plan on giving classes on these at Yankee Cross Stitch and I will post more info as soon as I pick a date. Should be fun!!
Well I am off to stitch, finish ornaments, and take pictures, talk to you later.

Its Tuesday and the winner is CISCA

Thank you everyone for your comments it was fun reading them and I am glad you liked the rock with the heart on it. I really tried to wash it of to make sure it wasn't painted or something man made. It is so never coming off. :)No budging, dried the same way.
It is Tuesday so I did a drawing for the free chart and the winner is Cisca. I am waiting for her to get me the mailing address and off it will go!!.
Still stitching little Christmas stitch an inches and crocheting. I really will share soon.
Love donna

Spreading Some LOVE

I just had to share with you a photo of our rock collection. My husband and I go to the beach about 3 to 4 times a week and take a stroll. It is our quiet time to talk to God, just relax a little and think about what is really important in life. (Soul searching journeys). So as we stroll along the beach we always keep an eye out for sea glass and rocks that are shaped like "Hearts".  I say a quiet prayer and ask for signs. These are the rocks that we have collected and the larger ones are in the flower garden outside. 

 But yesterday morning my husband asked for a sign, and as we were walking I found what I thought was a rock that someone maybe painted or stenciled a heart on it. So I made my way to that little find, picked up that rock and guess what?? It is the rock itself. NO paint, No stencil, just formed by nature, so I am sharing the photo with you because it is so cool and I cant stop thinking about it. Just what we both needed and a little lift for the day. Hope you enjoyed it. 

 

Pic of Stitch An Inch Christmas AND A GIVEAWAY :)

Here is the cover of the chart. I am still stitching them up to hang on a Feather(Wool) tree that I am making to share with you. And don't forget that in the Nov 1st newsletter I will have directions on how to finish an ornament with wool and a free tiny chart for stitching. The charts will be available from distributors at the end of next week for shops - except for the shops that have automatic accounts and they should receive them by Tuesday or Wednesday. I will be updating Etsy too by Sunday night. AND of course I will have more to share because I am having so much fun crocheting.
OH YES !!!! PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT FOR A GIVEAWAY OF THIS CHART. I WILL DRAW A NAME ON TUESDAY :)))))

Todays Peek

I am having fun stitching these they go so quick. I will share photos of some of my crocheting too. But I have to get a new card for my camera. I have almost 2000 photos on that 1 card and I have to wait for it to load on the computer every time I want to add a photo.  I really need to pick one up soon and just put this card away in a safe place. But yes I love to crochet again , that is my night time thing to do. I cant see to well to cross stitch even with the lights so I stopped struggling and save that for day time.
More tomorrow
