Happy Mother’s Day!

Yesterday while visiting Tina’s house in Sonoma, Mother Nature gave us a lovely gift.  While picking fruit from the over loaded lemon tree, a nest of baby black birds was discovered.  Campbell is seen checking out under the sweet smelling tree.

LoadedLemonTree

These fuzzy headed little ones are so very ugly they are really cute!  Tina thought she counted 7 hungry mouths. 

FuzzyHeadsI couldn’t help myself and poked my head into the tree many times to see the little critters.  They all immediately popped their little heads up, mouths open VERY wide in hopes of a yummy snack. 

FeedMe Mom black bird was busy most of the day zooming back and forth from her beautifully made home finding food for her growing family.  Mother Nature is a wonderfully clever gal – always a star on Mother’s Cay. 

Happy Day to everyone, especially all Moms….enjoy!

    Isn't it wonderful to watch nature at it's best. I have recently discovered a robin building a nest in the tree outside my bedroom window. She is now setting and I cannot enter my room without going to the window to see if everything is ok. Can hardly wait for the little ones to hatch.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day.  Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel.  He only took a couple of hours one night to complete.  A hint for you to speed your embroidery.  Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design.  You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color.  This little cutie would make a great ornament too.  Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way.  FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel.  The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin.  Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem.  The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice de...

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning.  I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird!  When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time!   Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design.  Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
