Winter Holiday Free Designs

 

Link Here for last years post for the free designs.

I have not posted much at all this year...I do miss all of and sharing some stitching work.

I will try harder this year to share more. I need to get organized and basically more focused.

I have been busy with Family, church, and many other things, so I am sitting here with a book to Plan.

My goal is to plan for every week and try my best to accomplish those goals, everything is God willing.

That is what Pastor Gough used to say to us for all of his plans. :)

So while I am working on my book of goals I thought I should at least share my previous years free designs, you never know if there is someone new that has not seen them yet.

Have a good rest of the week!! and more sharing to come :)

A little Flower inspiration!!

 I will be away for a few days and the Etsy shop is on Vacation since I can not get the orders out in the correct time. But I wanted to share with you a bit of inspiration. I used some of my #3 wool worms, and couched them down in a circular pattern making loops as I went along. When I thought I was finished I added more ontop to fill any areas that looked sparse. I made a long stem with some green worms also. It was finished it off some wool leaves that I folded over and stitched dow.

This week I will work on some hydrangeas.....Im excited to share more with you!!!

Have a good week !

Falls A Bloomin New Design

 Happy Day, 

I have another design ready for your stitching !!

"Falls A Bloomin"

This chart pack has 2 designs.

A lovely little scene with Bloomin Flowers, 

kind of like HUGE Chrysanthemum trees,

 and then another design with HUGE Chrysanthemums in a very simple Garden.

This Simple GArden Design was originally all cross stitched 

but when I was finished I decided to add some French Knots to some of the flower areas

....gave it a nice little pop in the flowers. :)

They will be available after Labor Day, around Sept 5th.

A Story behind the design...Brave Boat Harbor

 

A Story behind this design and name....
I live in York Maine and I have heard of Brave Boat Harbor but never looked up its history. I did find some interesting things about it ...here is a snippet of something I found.....
"Back in the 1600s, Brave Boat Harbor was a significant discovery for the explorers and early settlers who first came here. The shallow harbor provided safe anchorage from the angry Atlantic. But the entrance is narrow, and the surf makes passage tricky. Hence, only brave boats dared to enter." taken from The Maniacal Traveler

and so here is my little story for this design and my Hope for you....

“This Lone Sailboat is making the trek through the stormy waves in this narrow harbor….it certainly is Brave. Just as we are going through these testing and trying times may we be just as Brave as we Look forward to our Blessed Hope with Peace and Calm!!”

PS" it was hard to take a picture of the model with glass in the frame, I usually do not use glass in my frames but with this frame the glass just would not come out...it was glued in :( , so there appears to be a line under the birds...it's just a reflection.

The chart should be ready in about 2 weeks. Happy Summer Stitching and I do have two Autumn designs in my Hoop!!!

Have a nice summer day
