The Peppermint Pig is Chart of the Week
October 23, 2012 by · 3 Comments
How stinkin’ cute is this!? I’m pretty sure pigs and peppermints don’t get much cuter. I love these kind of samplers with fun themes and colors.
The individual motifs from the Peppermint Pig could easily be turned into holiday ornaments too. [Read more...]

The colors in this design just make me happy. I know I’ve already sung the praises of Autumn here on the blog many times over, but truly is my favorite time of the year.
I miss the long Fall season that we had in Pennsylvania – the leaves would change and fall off the trees slowly and magically. Here in Virginia it just feels like it’s 90 degrees and green one day and then the next day it’s 60 degrees and everything is brown and crunchy… the magic is lost somehow.

Christmas decorations are out in stores already? Say what!?! But it’s not even Halloween yet. (*stomps foot and pouts*)
Every store I went to this week pushed Halloween items to the end of the aisle and started putting out Christmas decorations already, I even saw trees for sale starting today. Why so early? Heck, it’s not even October yet!
To celebrate the beginning of Autumn, without jumping to Christmas quite yet, this week’s chart of the week is part of Stoney Creek’s Snowman of the Month Series – the October Snowman. [Read more...]
Northern Lights is Chart of the Week
September 17, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
This week’s chart of the week is a design I came across while browsing the Counted Wishes Festival. The Fall session just started and runs through September 21st.
Northern Lights by Gracewood Stitches
131 x 305 Stitch Count, on 18 count aida measures 7″ x 17″. Stitches are all cross stitch and back stitch, using DMC cotton floss, use 1 or 2 strands over 1 square.
The designers notes about the piece:
Northern Nights is inspired by cold winter nights in our northern mountain home, Gracewood. The cold blue of the night and the soft golden glow of our home’s lights on the snowy landscape gave me some of the images for this band sampler. This piece is dedicated to our two guardian dogs, Zach and his son, Jubal, sadly no longer howling at the moon.
