I have a confession, sigh. I did NOT stitch on And a Garden Grew yesterday after I took the picture.  I started something small. I was going to stitch on it yesterday and today but.......something shiny got in my way.  I will start on it again come Monday though. That WIP will be finished!!!


The good news is that I started Tra La La's C'est Lete'.  I love Tra La La designs. I have another Tra La La I want to make that is called La Maison Bleue.



I changed the colors on it and I'm hoping I have enough of the green to finish it. It's HDF Irish Moss and its one of the old ones. The ones that were stapled. The color is also discontinued now.....I think there will be enough though.


Not sure what I will make this one into. Its working up a little larger than I thought. Maybe a hanging something, maybe a sewing book.  Any ideas out there?? I'm always looking for something different to finish stuff into or different ways of finishing.

If any of you out there know any terrific blogs that have wonderful, different finishing ideas I would love to know about them, just drop me a message in the comments section:)  I'd like to look at your blogs too!

I'm off to stitch or maybe go outside for  a little while, there is a break in the rain. FINALLY!!

  3. I too love Talala designs. Several of the blogs I would have suggested, you follow already. The Twisted Stitcher, and Carol Draper, both of these stitchers seem to have unique finishes. I also get ideas from , The Freebi Gallary, and either one of the World of Smalls.

  4. I've really started liking some of the french designers, they have great charts. I love going through the worlds largest collection of smalls too. Maybe I will do that today for ideas. Thanks Susie.

  5. Diane at Little House Needleworks used a stitching piece on the front of a box so that it looked like a book. Her latest blog entry explains it. I think your design would look pretty that way!

    1. Karen, I just went and looked at the box and I love it. I may try that if I can find a book box. Thanks for the idea.
