North Pole Welcome

There is quite the little herd of flying reindeer - and one

 surely has to be Rudolph.  All are carrying Christmas

 balls to decorate Santa's tree or tiny stockings to hang on 

some distant fireplace mantle. 

Sizzlin' Summertime Carnival

Easy to adapt to an whimsical birth sampler, or just 

stitch for the fun of all the summer memories. For birth sampler, instructions and alphabet included. And, there is even an optional hot air balloon that might just fly you to the Land of OZ!

Spider and the Fly

The Spider and the Fly was inspired by a classic 

poem from Mary Howitt, 1829.  Our Halloween themed

 cross stitch uses full stitches and a little bit of back 

stitch to define our scary spider's face.  As always, 

we include excellent instructions.

Peek-A-Boo Sneak Peek!!!

Peek-A-Boo!!! - -Hallowe'en design recalls sweet childhood fantasies

Peek-A-Boo!!!   The heart-thudding mystery of who might be hidden inside all those ghostly costumes, the breathless excitement on that very first Hallowe'en night - who can forget that experience?

In my new design "Peek-A-Boo", a magical "Boo" rises in smoky vapors from the glowing innards of a cheery Jack-o-Lantern, as two youngsters peer inside, awed by whatever surprise might be there.

From the star studded Little Dipper and smiling quarter moon, to the twining bottom border of capricious pumpkins, this happy little design will lead you on an adventure down memory lane.   Complete with a whimsical bat and creepy spider webs, this design is mostly full stitches, with quarter and petite stitches lending detail to face, hands, legs.  Straight stitch & back stitched  stars, spider webs, magic fairy wand and other details create a true piece of memorabilia.
