Project Planning....

I am in my first week of summer break and while I miss my little walking partner and helper, I will be glad to get to use most of my summer time stitching in one form or another. Yesterday, after finishing up an apron, I decided to delve into my stash of patterns. Most of them have been in my stash for a good while....in fact, I think some of them go back more than 10 years. Here's what I hope to be working on this summer..... You can see patterns and books from Sew Unique Creations, Barncat Primitives, Walnut Ridge Primitives, Notforgotten Farm, Mosey n Me, Netty LaCroix, Plum Pudding, Need'l Love, and a few others there....these designs/designers never fail.
I have even pulled out a few embroidery pieces....using the primitive style of stitching, of course. You'll see I have a small one already underway. 
I have also been pondering the idea of having an open house here this fall. It's been alot of years since I've created on that level! A few pieces here and there to keep in a local shop is quite different than preparing for an open house event!  Then throw in the whole idea of a new venture in little girlie things.....
I don't think I'll have a problem finding anything to do with my time....which by the way, it's time to get back to stitching!
Enjoy your day!

~*Pure and Pleasant*~

Hello world...I hope you all are having a great week!
I just want to share this little finish with you today. A pure and pleasant pillow tuck.
I stitched this on linen, two threads over two using dmc floss rather than the suggested Gentle Art floss. It has been backed with the same sweet blue calico as the small bird is made and her little wing is of wool. Little bird is stitched to a piece of brown satin ribbon and has an old skeleton key tied to the other end then the ribbon is pinned to the pillow corner. The pillow measures 6 1/4" x 4 1/2". Tuck it in a basket or wreath or on a shelf. Would make a sweet gift.
It looks like it may be a quiet weekend here in my little corner of the world and my plans are to spend it in the sewing room working on using up more of my fabric stash so I can get my Etsy shop reopened.
Enjoy your day and if I'm not back before, I hope you have a great Memorial weekend....and don't forget to take a moment to remember those who have served and are serving our country and the sacrifices made for all of us.
