More Previews and Show & Tell

Good morning or should I say afternoon. I have been tap, tap, tapping away writing instructions today.
Don't you hate it when your printer ink runs out aarrgghh! So no printing until I get to the shops tomorrow! I thought you might like to see another little preview of what is coming up.
My little set of tree ornaments are finished and I have called them "Christmas Sentimentals" Like to see
one?


Simple but I think quite cute! The next one is my new favourite....I loved it from the drawing stage and love how it has turned out....Blessings and Ginger!
Amongst the Holly is still needing some work and this little cutie will not tell me what he wants to be....
Not to mention this pair who told me what they wanted to be but just not how to finish them.
So as you can imagine a little crazy around here.
Now to the Show and Tell. A lovely lady by the name of Kerryn at The Country Yard across the waves  in Maungatapere, Northland New Zealand has been very supportive of my designing endeavours and actually was the inspiration behind my Country at Heart Alphabet. Kerryn has given me permission to share with you a couple of the samples of my designs from her gorgeous shop.
This first one is the cover of Country at Heart, stitched beautifully by Raewyn from Love to Stitch  who is lucky enough to work there....
She then stitched several of the letters to make this lovely cushion.
I really love it in the sage green. It is so nice to see how creative they have been. The girls also did a version of my "C" is for Christmas table centre. they made a very cute runner.
Thank you so much Kerryn for allowing me to share your photos. It made my heart happy.
Ok gotta fly....coffee is definitely needed before I continue on.
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx

  13. Your new designs are just gorgeous Michelle - you have been busy :-) I'd love to take credit for the stitching at The Country Yard...we all chip in and make samples for the shop but these ones were stitched by Kerryn, not me...although I did trace them for her, does that count?! We Love this latest Alphabet book!

  18. I love your little Christmas stitchery Michele. I can just see it hanging on my tree. The Country Yard cushions are lovely as you say. I have seen them in real life as The Country Yard is my favourite shop and I frequent it often! Kerryn, Raewyn and Leeanne are all wonderful talented women and always make you feel so welcome.

  19. the only thing worse than the printer running out of ink is when the computer dies midway through pattern writing!! At least you'll get a reprieve until tomorrow!

    xox sugary hugs :o)
