A Few of My Favorite Things.....

I have really enjoyed stitching the past couple of months. I had so much fun using this little snippet of a doily as a frame for a long forgotten child. I love to buy old vintage cabinet cards & 'love' those long forgotten faces....that were once loved so dearly. Since stitching has become a favorite craft these days it' s fun to see what others put into their stitch work.

This truly is one of my favorites of all time. I have done this numerous times now. I love how the little pearls look like flowers. I just think the wrapped stems are really fun. It is neat to look at old stitching's and look at the intricate stitching that was done. I can only pray that I become that proficient in my skills.

Adding something that you wouldn't expect has been really fun too. Here are some beads that I found in the craft room that Lindsey has long forgotten. She made them....and there they were sitting....for me to use in my art. I just love vintage book paper....it was a fun find...now if I can just get her to make some more! Are you stretching your imagination today....are those of you in Colorado enjoying your snowy day??? What are you creating today? I hope my stitching is a source of inspiration for you. May your day be filled with comfort & joy. Blessings.
