It can very difficult to find embroidery patterns suitable for the men in our lives so I was really pleased when I recently came across some Vintage Workbasket patterns for sports equipment.

To all my US readers: Happy Memorial Day! When Dave was in the Canadian Army, one of my biggest worries was that one day he wouldn’t come home to me. Thankfully he always did. Not everyone is so fortunate. We lived in the US for enough years for this day to become a day in which we too will always…

I had to laugh last week when CathieJ commented: I was going to agree that that bunny is adorable but I happened to glance at him quickly and there is quite a gleam in his eyes. I’m not sure if it is evil or mischievous. Never-the-less, this is a great pattern. I have to admit that I’d noticed that gleam…
