Happy Monday! With fruit canning season in full swing here in southwestern Ontario, I thought this week would be a good time to share this vintage Workbasket embroidery pattern for a variety of summer fruits.

Happy Monday! And welcome to another Vintage Embroidery Monday and Stitchery Link Party. For most of my growing up years, we lived in the country… not on a farm but on various small acreages. Our birds and animals came with us as we moved from place to place. Today’s free vintage Workbasket pattern reminds me of the bantam hens that we…

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Last week was a glorious week weather-wise, making it feel like spring. Friday, I was even able to go for my walk without wearing a jacket. We’re back to cooler temperatures now but it won’t be long before things will be green again and the plants will be poking their heads…
With so many people in Canada and the US either digging out from a snowstorm, in the middle of one or preparing for one to arrive, I thought I’d share something to remind everyone to hang in there, spring is only a few weeks away! This adorable little donkey is bringing you a basket of spring flowers to brighten your…
