Cloths Of Heaven...

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. ~~

W.B. Yeats

St.Nicholas...


This is the last of the christmas pics [until next christmas,anyway]...I stitched this one a few years ago..It is called "O starry Night"..it is from the book Santa Remembered by Leisure Arts...I finished it as a hang/stand up.I really love the designs in this book...I have stitched three of them so far...one I framed, and one I gave away.They are reproduced from antique postcards...ttfn

Christmas Past.....

I`m just now getting around to taking some pics of Christmas decorations that I have stitched....[I figured I should before I pack them away again]. I did these a few years ago...the noel stocking is pretty much as it was charted, but the peace stocking was adapted to match the noel stockings colours...ttfn
sorry for the weird format...I can`t get blogger to co-operate today

It`s been awhile....

I haven`t blogged for awhile now....a pinched nerve in my shoulder has stopped me from stitching, and as that`s what this blog is about....well...

I`m back working on celtic band sampler...it`s coming along slowly..i`ll post an update pic when i have more done....

I`m enjoying Fine Lines back issues...I get them through Traditional Stitches...one issue a month...I can`t believe I missed these until now...they are really beautiful...too bad thet`re not still being published...

Well...that`s all for now...sorry to be so boring..just thought i`d let you know I haven`t stopped blogging...keep on stitching!


PS....Anita...the issue of Fine Lines you asked about is Winter 1997
