With graduation and spring and summer wedding season starting, I thought now might be a good time to share another Alphabet. Use them to stitch a set of labels for the grad going off to college in the fall. The labels could then be sewn onto linens so that they can be easily identified if something gets forgotten in the…
Last week, I shared an adorable little boy singing his heart out in celebration of Cinco De Mayo. This week, that same little boy is on his way home. Oh and look… he’s picked a flower. I wonder who it’s for? With Mother’s Day coming up next Sunday it must be for his Mom! Vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern – Boy…
I was first introduced to the celebration of Cinco De Mayo the first spring that we lived on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Hawaii prides itself not only on it’s Native Hawaiian and Polynesian heritage but it’s cultural diversity.

I think almost everyone here in Southwestern Ontario was feeling as light-hearted and happy as these two children. The weather this past weekend was absolutely beautiful. For the first time in months, we’ve been able to venture outside without a jacket. In fact… if you weren’t careful, you might even have gotten a sunburn! Such an incredible change in weather…
Happy Monday Everyone! I’ve schedule this post ahead but by the time it goes live, I’m hoping to have the main floor of our new home mostly unpacked and organized.

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…

With Easter only a few weeks away, I wanted to share these sweet little embroidery patterns that could be stitched on small Easter treat bags or perhaps on the corner of napkins for a whimsical place setting. Imagine how cute they’d look embroidered on the front of a baby onesie, or the collar of a little girl’s dress! Vintage Workbasket…
