Shores from Hawk Run Hollow
Almost finished with block 5 and shown with my new needle minder and my wonderful new hoop. I have discovered I an returning to hoops more and more and I had read about these hand made Hardwicke Manor Hoops. I had been using a vintage hoop. Ordered this one and just love it! It's even wide enough to hold my pattern clip but it's very lite!
And now for the patterns purchased!
All Three for $11.00!
and...
I have wanted this OOP for a long time but could never find it and when I did the price was usually outrageous! Finally it's mine so I guess I will have to add it to my Christmas rotation lol! Not that I don't have enough to do!
Well I guess that's all for now! time to get ready and head out to a "paint your own picture" ALS fundraiser with my dear friend Bea. It is in honor of her husband Jack. He was truly a one of a kind man who is missed by many!!
Hugs to all,
Rose
You are doing well with keeping on track Rose! All your stitches are lovely, and I look forward to seeing those WIPs completed soon! Ha!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! You are doing well on the spending this year! Congrats! Your stitching makes me smile - you are getting so many projects done!
ReplyDeleteYou have some very lovely finishes here. And wow, such great new stash. I bought that Shaker Village chart quite a while ago but haven't started it yet. And lucky you to find the PS book 58.
ReplyDeleteHello my dear Rose!
ReplyDeleteI envy all your pieces!! Wish I could do the same :D And as usual, so glad to see again the Shores...
I have just bought the LHN Sheep virtues and that's what I am doing now. Really a fun stitch, so excited to stitch it every night. I will post about it in my blog soon
Thank you dear for stopping by my blog. Take care always.
Hugs,
Toni
Love all the projects! I can't wait to get back to mine.
