Dave and I, our middle daughter and son went to see Moana on the weekend. Have you been? If not, I highly recommend it. I loved every minute and want to go see it again while it’s still in theatres! From a very young age, Moana is drawn to the ocean. It calls to her. And while I have no…
Every where I go I keep hearing the comment that the days are simply flying by and that the holidays will be here before we know it. To help you get ready, I’ll be sharing holiday themed vintage Workbasket embroidery patterns every Monday right up until Christmas. One of my favorite holiday traditions is picking out the Poinsettia. My favorites…
[social_warfare]Happy Halloween!! Are you ready for all the little trick or treaters that will be arriving this evening? Yesterday, Dave and I went out and bought more candy… just in case. I do this every year. We buy candy ahead of time when it’s on sale and then I decide we’d better get more so that we don’t run out.…
For the past several weeks, I’ve been sharing an adorable set of children dressed up for Halloween.

How different these costumes are from…

Happy Monday Everyone! Fall is fast approaching and that means the farmers’ markets are full of fresh picked veggies. So today I thought I’d share these vintage Workbasket patterns for broccoli, corn and carrots. They’d be fun to stitch on some kitchen towels. Vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern – Broccoli, Corn and Carrots It’s rather tempting to drawing…
Today’s vintage Workbasket pattern features the lovely frames for the Curvy Alphabet that I’ve shared over the past two Mondays. Wouldn’t these look pretty stitched on a bookmark or perhaps a set of napkins. I’m also thinking that they could be enlarged slightly and then used to frame photos that you’ve printed or transferred onto fabric. Those could then be…
As promised, today’s vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern is the mate to last week’s Happy Flowering Plant. Simply substitute this face for that one and you’ll have a boy plant. 🙂 Just as soon as Dave and I finish painting the sewing room/office and the new bookshelves that he custom built for me, I have a plan for these two patterns!…
