I've been such a good girl! :-)

I spent the entire weekend listing new patterns (from Penny Lane and Stacy Nash Primitives) and DMC flosses. That, and working on a big candle order I received from my other site, Autumn Comforts. And I have a bunch of boxes and packages sitting here next to me, waiting to be opened and the contents listed for sale as well; more patterns from Sweet Meadows Farm and Pineberry Lane, more cross-stitch linen from Wichelt ... AND, I just placed my first order with Moda/United Notions! My little store is filling up so nicely! Receiving all of these goodies to make available to all of you is so much fun; all these boxes and packages arrive, and it really feels just like Christmas! :-)

Here are just a couple of the adorable Christmas patterns I now have in stock (along with all the supplies to make them!):

Snow Babies Penny Rug Candle Mat & Mitten Ornies Pattern
This cutie is from Penny Lane Primitives, and it's available for only $8.50. And, I carry all the WoolFelt and flosses (along with Chenille needles and an assortment of really cute needlework scissors!) you'll need to make it.

12 Days of Christmas Sewing Roll Pattern
From Stacy Nash Primitives, this beautiful sewing roll pattern is ready to order for only $10.00, and I have all the flosses, a nice assortment of linen, and some beautiful wool fabrics and cotton homespuns available for making it as well.

I'd love for you to stop by Hannah's PinKeep soon (and often) to see all the great goodies I have in stock... and there is much more to come! :-)

Happy Holidays,
Jodi

Silk Matka

I recently received a shipment of some pieces of silk matka I ordered for my store, and I wanted to show you what I LOVE about this fabric. This photo shows the new pieces, before washing, on the right ... and a couple of pieces I had which have been laundered, on the left. Notice how the new matka is smooth and shiny, but the laundered matka takes on that wonderful faded, nubby look of a very old fabric? It looks like a fabric that might have been widely used hundreds of years ago!

I absolutely love silk matka! It's an amazing fabric to use for accenting stitched pieces, or making ornies, dressing dolls, prairie bonnets, or whatever else you can think of in the way of primitive accents.

I have silk matka available for purchase at Hannah's, here. And, although I only have a few colors listed thus far, I do have access to many other colors that would lend themselves beautifully to primitive decor. Just let me know if you'd care to see more! :-)

Another New Pattern!

Just in time for Halloween, I've just listed another new cross-stitch pattern for a cute piece I've called "Old Haunts." I made this piece into a 5" x 7" pillow/pinkeep, and I have both the pattern (with "kit" option available) and the finished model for sale now.

You'll find the pattern available at Hannah's PinKeep, and the model is currently listed for sale at my other site, Autumn Comforts. I hope you'll check them both out and consider adding one of them to your own collection. :-)

Happy Halloween! :-)

New Cross-Stitch Pattern/Kit!

My first cross-stitch pattern has been listed for sale! "Beware the Moon" is a sweet little Halloween sampler with instructions to finish it as a little 10" x 6" pillow/pinkeep. Order just the pattern (includes chart, floss list, plus finishing instructions), or get the "kit" (includes the above, plus a piece of Wichelt "copper penny" linen, a piece of brushed cotton, striped pumpkin homespun for the backing, plus a total of 6 flosses for completing your pillow/tuck).
