Pineapple Estate

Hi, I finished Pineapple Estate. It will be released in about a week to the distributors and then on to the stores. I also finished Box Of Spring, I have to frame it and do the directions but that should be out soon also. I am having a very cold winter here. I pray for an early spring, maybe that's why I finished Box Of Spring so soon. Some mornings I hear the birds outside and I am so thankful for them. Anxiously waiting for there full return, I just love their songs. It reminds me of my childhood when we had so many birds at my grandmothers. She used to feed them which is something I should do but we have to many squirrels. Have a great day, Donna

Hi everyone, I have been busy stitching. Almost done Pineapple Estate.
I've also been working on a design for a shop called "A stitchers Garden". I will be giving a class there in March and had to finish up the model. Here is a pic of it. I think I need to add something to the top so I only took a picture of the bottom half. I think I might add a dragonfly to the top. Well check out the shop on line and hope to see you there. www.astitchersgarden.com

What A Good Read

I just finished reading a book called "In His Steps" by Charles M Sheldon. It was a really great book to read and asks the question "What would Jesus Do?" I am on my spiritual quest as I am sure many of us are. Always wanting to know more and always searching for answers. Well I made up a quick free chart that can be stitched to place in your home to remind you to ask yourself this question.

Just double click on the image to enlarge it and then go to your printer icon and press to print. Happy Stitching and Growing, Donna

All Finished

Hi , I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holiday. I finally finished my Christmas stockings. I only had time to take a picture of one of them and here it is. What an evening we are having here. More snow and ice. It's a good night for stitching, just the cat and I are home and the cat is snoozing, what a life. Donna

What I've been up to

Here are some pictures of the 24 reindeer that I made from corks. They look so cute all together, like a herd. I also am posting a pic of one of the Christmas stockings I'm making for my family. I still have to work on the hats and scarfs. I'll update you with a finished picture as soon as I can. Who knows it may be on Christmas Eve, I don't seem to be sewing very fast today.I still have some last minute shopping to do and then plenty of things to wrap. Hope you all have a good day and keep safe. Donna

Peek at Pineapple Estate

Well here is a peek at my new design. I still have to finish stitching it but it should be done soon. Maybe after the Holidays I can catch up. Have a great night, keep warm. Donna

Snow Day

Hi everyone, We are having another snow day. I guess that's good because it gives me more time to wrap gifts and make more whoppie pies. I've been working on some Christmas stockings that I am giving to my son,his wife and grandson. As soon as I am finished I'll post a picture. Also I've been working on Pineapple Estate and I'll share a pic of that too. Until this afternoon, Donna

Pomegranate Estate

Here are the pictures I took today. Sorry they seem to be a little dark, I guess I missed the daylight. This chart should be released sometime at the end of December. We've been getting ready for Christmas, a little shopping and stitching. I think I should start getting ready next year in the summer. To much to do but I enjoy it. What would Christmas be without the rush. Have a great weekend and take time to feel the Spirit of the Holiday.

New Design

Here is a very tiny picture of my new design. I will try this weekend to take a better photo but this is the best I can do for today. It was fun stitching and I have a thing for Pomegranates. Donna

Still Here

Hi everyone, I'm still here. It's been pretty busy. I just finished my new designs and got them to the distributor for release this weekend. I also finished a new design called "Pomegranate Estate". And of course there was Thanksgiving. We had it here, the family. It was great and my grandson was so cute. I love to post pictures of stitching but my camera is tired. So guess what I need to ask Santa for. I'll try to post a picture soon of my new design or at least a sneak peek, but I'll see if I can borrow my daughters camera for that. Donna
