~ Miss Isabelle Black Coming Soon ~

Hello dear friends and needleworkers.

Oh how times flies when you're busy and enjoying what

you're doing....I had to double check my I~phone to

make sure today was actually Friday!

*******

I haven't seen my sweet rabbit friend Abigail all week, I hope she's 

okay....maybe she met her Abner and is busy starting

a little family of her own!

I was so excited to get a great deal on Ebay for this awesome piece....

~ Original cast rabbit ~

You can find lots of reproduction examples of this rabbit, but

this was the first original one to come up on

Ebay since I starting doing Ebay about three years ago.

I will be using this rabbit here in my Studio as a scissor holder.

It's so fun to find something special on Ebay.  This is one of those

 finds that I probably would never have found locally!

*******

I officially finished the model stitching for my new upcoming pattern release last night at 12:15 a.m., and

fell asleep very peacefully knowing I would be able to get

it framed today.

 Here is the frame I'll be using....

I was so happy to have an antique frame in my stash that

will work perfectly!

If everything goes as planned I will be releasing this new

pattern on Monday ~ the title will be....

I love to daydream while I'm stitching, and this whole past

week I've been busy planning in my head my 

next design....

I usually have SO many ideas floating around in my head, and if 

I don't jot them down on paper it's easy to forget them!

I love the convenience of making myself notes on my I~phone,

which is with me at all times.

This must be a year for 'MOTHS', I keep seeing unusual 

large moths everywhere!  

Check out how camouflaged this one is.....

This moth was sitting on the front porch and I nearly 

stepped on it!

The wings are fuzzy with iridescent soft colors.

My little Granddaughter Rachel is so full of energy,

here she is taking a little break....

She is such a little lady and LOVES to have her 

picture taken!
