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…
I’ve been meaning to post this since the end of December but life has a way of interfering with one’s best laid plans. In this post, I showed you the gifts I made for my Santa Sack Swap 2016 partner, Pauline who blogs at Phoenix Heirlooms. Wait until you see all the lovely gifts she made for me. I felt so…
Are you like me and feeling like you just want winter to be over already? The weather has been so weird! Last week, we got dumped on with snow. I spent 40 minutes shoveling so Dave would be able to get in the driveway when he got home from work. (The snow plow had deposited a huge drift when it…
Happy Monday Everyone! We’ve only just finished the holiday season but it’s already time for those of us who craft to be thinking about what to make for Valentine’s Day. Today’s vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern for Abstract Heart Flowers would be the perfect quick stitch project!

Happy First Monday of 2017! For the first vintage Workbasket pattern of the new year, I’m sharing this lovely center medallion fruit bowl designed to be stitched as the feature embroidery on a table cloth or table topper. The whole pattern wouldn’t fit on an 8 1/2″ X 11″ sheet of printer paper so Dave has traced the fruit bowl…

I thought it would be fun to show you the gifts I made for her. For the swap, we’re to make our partners a sack, stocking or…
Happy Monday Everyone! Today here in Canada (and other Commonwealth countries) we’re celebrating Boxing Day. For some, it will be a day of hitting the after Christmas sales. But for me, it’s my day to slow down and relax after the busyness of the holiday season. I don’t have to cook because the fridge is full of leftovers. I don’t…
Hello Everyone! Happy Christmas Eve! We’re the Hexie Turtles! I’m Lexie. Sue made me first, so that makes me the oldest. Lanie’s the next oldest. She’s my BFF! Rexie is the youngest. He’s my other BFF. Since I’m the oldest, I get to be the one to tell you about all our adventures. We’ve been having some really fun adventures this week!…
As this is the last Monday before Christmas, I’m gifting you not one but two vintage Workbasket patterns. This sweet snow gentleman and his lady really do belong together. Dave has resized the originals so that you have three sizes of each to stitch. Vintage Workbasket Embroidery Pattern – Snow Gentleman with Top Hat in Three Sizes downloadable PDF Vintage…
I have always loved setting out candles during the holiday season. May today’s vintage Workbasket patterns bring light into your life now and as you stitch them! Wouldn’t they look lovely embroidered on a bookmark to include with a gift of an inspirational book. They’re also just the right size to stitch and turn into tree ornaments or reusable gift…
