It's Sunday

A bit of a dreary day... acts like it wants to rain.  We don't have much snow left.  I'm afraid we might be pretty dry this summer.  Pray for rain and or snow.  We really will need it.


So, I have some finishes to share.  
The first is "Love Never Fails" a freebie by Primitive Hare



I stitched Kathy Barrick's Bird's Eye View and Scattered Seed Samplers (Tammy Black) 
Queen Esther's Pure Heart on the same linen (40ct Silkweaver Days Gone By)
I thought that I would frame them in matching black frames... but best laid plans.  I started making pillows and pin keeps with some of my stitched finishes and when I laid these designs on that black plaid, it was like it was meant to be!  I added antique lace that I had and some old antique buttons. 
 The keys and charm are new... Anyways, really like the way they turned out!







I'm excited to be going to Atlanta, Georgia to the PSS (Prim Stitchers Society) Retreat!
It takes place at the end of the month.  I know that time is going to fly by.  Especially since I have so many things on my calendar.  There are shows that we have booths at, and service centers, jury duty.  
Mike will be gone for 4 days for work. The end of the month we also have a week long special in Kalispell.

The rain has begun... until later my friends... stay warm,

the bunny...

Oh how I have been drawn to Prairie Schooler... of course since she is retiring and not designing anymore... so... a lot of her charts are hard to find.
This is the bunny from her April chart...


so cute... I made him a scissor fob... to go with hare scissors that I got for my exchange partner... I loved it so much that I am stitching another for me... lol...



since we are talking about bunnies... let me introduce Rusty Rabbit... I ordered him from Darlene at Http://primitivehandmadesmercantile.com/heritage-homestead-decor


Until later... stay warm...

The stitch is a design by Nan Lewis of Threadwork Primitives
