HARVEST PHOTOS

I can not believe how much time has elapsed since I last posted on my blog.
Too many things happening with a slower body ! :)
I did take the time to shoot a few pixs of our  Harvest items in house.
The Pumpking Wall Quilt is in our family room. I use this wall as a focal point for my quilts. This part of our home is decorated in Country Folk Art. The quilt is my design. On the center band is a recipe for Pumpkin pie, written in brown fabric pen. Wanted a rustic look.
The pixs of my white pumpkins are in our front living room. This part of the home as is most, is decorated in White Country Chic. My terminology. :)  Love the Mediterrerean whites. When on vacation through Greek Islands the open and airy feeling of white intrigued me. For some reason unable to get the first pix righted.

SPRING GIVE-AWAY

I have decided it was time for me to conduct another Give-Away.  Please note that
this is for USA or Canadian citizens only.

My choice of item is a Spring Easter Candle Mat.  What with all the horrible winter
weather we have all been experiencing, decided a light colorful item would be best.
What could be better than Spring & Easter.  Easter, to me, is a rebirth time, not only
for nature, but it reminds us of what Jesus did for us on the cross. His death is a
rebirth for us that choose to follow Him.

Anyway, the candle mat is approx. 9 1/2" diam.  The eggs are made from wool felt and then embroidered with DMC Floss.  The eggs were stitched onto Warm & Natural Batting. Couldn't resist adding the yellow Rick Rack around outer edge. Then the edging was stitched with a blanket stitch in yellow floss.

The egg is approx. 4 1/2" high.  Made from wool felt and stuffed.  Both items are hand stitched.

This Give-Away will end February 28, 2011 and the winner will be announced
March 1, 2011.

Please leave a comment and become a follower of my blog. Be sure I have info on how to contact you should you win.

Enjoy

Sunday - June 1- 2008


Can you believe it is June already. Just think we are heading towards July, then when we are in July we will be looking to August..and well...when in August.....our eyes are on the fall. My favorite time of the year.
We had alot of rain, wind and a few tornadoes in Indiana Friday evening. Miami County was blessed not to have a tornado. They passed us and landed in Wabash. I certainly don't want anyone to have to endure the aftermath of a tornado....just glad it wasn't us this time. We had one a few years back. Caused enough trouble.
The rain was plentiful. Definately an asset to our plants.
I am trying to get photos onto my blog. Just went outside and took a pix of the Clematis Vine on our garage..just loaded with beautiful lilac colored blooms. The most in past 4 years.
Please be sure to check out my webpage on Etsy. It is KeepSakeKorner.Etsy.Com. Also, be sure to check out our group of ladies named Old Farmhouse Gathering OFG. Type OFG into search bar on Etsy and see all the goodies by some wonderful artists.
