2016 just cross stitch ornament issue

 The release of the Just cross stitch ornament issue. 

I look forward to it each year.  Some past years

have been disappointing, but this year some

beauties to stitch.  The first piece is on

page 59.  From the heart.   The colors

so much prettier then the photo in the magazine. 

 This one is on page 10.  The sunflower seed.

I love sunflowers so I had to do this one.

I switched  the threads and gave Santa a

smile.  What are your favorites? 

 Fall is here and I am enjoying all the colors.

Two different parks I walk at.

 My rose bush is still blooming, these 

have an amazing smell to them.

Living 40 min from the smokey mountains

Is always a treat.  Last week I did day trips

Monday and Wednesday.   The trees this

time of year are a treat.  Thank you

for all of your kinds words.  I hope

everyone  is enjoying the fall. 

almost 2 months without a post- an update

back into a routine.  This pattern is by

Twisted threads.

 These are two planters my brother in

made for me.  In my region,  pansies will

last until about march.  They are one 

of my favorite flowers as with sunflowers. 

My clothesline  brings me as much joy as
my garden and stitching does.   Nothing
like sheets dried on the line. 

this metal box was found in the attic

with a bunch of other  things.  It was

made in NY and looks like cross stitch. 

My gas fireplace 

The beautiful  wreath above the fireplace.

My livingroom.  I purchased a wooden

antique ironing board and use it as a display

table in the livingroom.  Super cool and only 

40 dollars.  It's perfect. 

My dad purchased a wagon for me.

I use it for my gardening and 

I have used it several times already.

My vintage Pyrex collection. 

I use these pieces everday.  They

Do not make dishes like this amymore.

I just got service to view blogs, so I will

be catching up on posts.  I will have more 

pictures to post later on.  HAPPY FALL.
