My busy needle....


My needle has been busy this past
week stitching smalls.


Aury "Patriotic Heart 2011"
stitched on 40ct khaki w/
WDW & Victorian Motto

Finally got around to stitching this freebie and
hope to finish into a box top.

Threadwork Primitives "Happy 4th"
stitched on 32ct LL Navy Bean
w/Victorian Motto and WDW

Another great design from Nan.  I did 
make a little change in the berries.

Homespun Elegance "Crow Patriotic"
stitched on 32ct LL Navy Bean
w/WDW

Just love the crow and flag!

Homespun Elegance "Summer Fun"
stitched on 32ct LL Navy Bean
w/ WDW

I love this little sheep... so much fun to stitch.

Homespun Elegance "Summer Patches #4"
stitched on 32ct LL Navy Bean
w/ WDW

Just had to stitch this one for my little buddy!

Homespun Elegance "Summer Patch #3"
stitched on 32ct LL Navy Bean
w/WDW

Nothing says summer like sunflowers and watermelon.

HIH "Summer Bird"
stitched on 32ct LL Navy Bean
w/WDW & Sampler Threads

I still need to sew the little bee button on but
love this little birdie too!

Now I just have to figure out the
finishing on some of these
... hmmm...
think I will stew on it a little longer.

I think I have had my fill of smalls for now. 
Off to see what I can get my needle into next.

Thanks for visiting!
