pumpkins

a stitch in time . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

I've really been caught up in hand embroidery of late. Not sure what has me so enthralled, but I *like* it! I thought I'd share a few finishes and progress.

I finished the stitching on this little secret project . . .

I'll fill you in later. Hahaha!

I started and finished this acorn . . .

Stitched by me; pattern from Kathy Schmitz, One Stitch at a Time Embroidery Club

I love this cosmos variegated floss; it's so soft and pretty! I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do with this stitchery, but I'll figure out something ...

time well spent . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

The association I work for had its 182nd Annual Meeting last Tuesday. It's a big deal for me and a lot of prep work and a long day . . . but we get the Wednesday and Thursday following the meeting off, giving me a long, five-day weekend.

Literally.

We all ...

AQS' amazing new cover!

Thank You again for choosing "Winterkin"!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love pumpkins!

I love looking at them, decorating with them, and

eating them (savory or sweet), so, it goes without

saying that I love to design with them as well.

You can find more HERE.

White pumpkins have been a designer trend for

a few years now and although they are cute,

I still really liked orange until....

One day I realized that I could use them as

a transition design with my poinsettias and

holly that also really get my design juices ...
