A New Year.......A New Idea

Here it is a new year.  And like most of you creative dears out there, I have several things started for both embroidery and crochet.  Unfortunately, I have nothing "note worthy" to show you here and these projects will take me some time to accomplish.  With that being said, I thought I would share with you some inspiration for an embroidery/patchwork project on this post by sharing with you a small YouTube video..........where would we be with YouTube.........have I said that too much here??  I find sometimes when I am in one of my creative "stall" moments and I just don't feel motivated to move on.......YouTube gives me that inspiration push to work on at least something. So here is  this little piece of inspiration:

Tell me now, have you started a new project for embroidery, quilting, crocheting, or something else?

I would love to hear 

Wishing you a very happy New Year!

Gingham Embroidery

There is just something so soothing about gingham embroidery for me

I love counted cross stitch

but the gingham squares are a lot bigger and there is not so much worry

about keeping count as I do  with the linen and aida.

On late afternoons, when I am particularly tired, but still 

want to stitch something pretty, I have turned my needle's 

attention to this. 

I'm feeling a little low.......yesterday I had to take my sweet Taboo to the vet and put him down.

He was a little over 10 years old and started getting ill. My heart is really missing him.

So tell me........what do you like to stitch......or create....

that is relaxing ?  I would love to hear.

There is a far sweet song in autumn

That catches at my throat,

I hear it in each falling leaf

And in each wild bird's note...
