VeeandCo Penguin Ornaments. I got the idea for the first one from a TV commerical. This lil girl penguin is worried that the Christmas Tree she is hanging on "makes her butt look big". Aren't us girls always worried about that :) The lil guy penguin seems to have gotten in some kind of trouble with the Christmas lights. His days of hanging on the tree MAY be numbered ;) Both designs are included...Hard Copy $8.50 plus shipping PDF...$7.50

The bunnies and chicks will be back soon along with their babies, the flowers are just starting to emerge from their very long winter's nap. I so enjoy waking up to the sun shining through my windows and the cheerful sounds of the early birds singing.

VeeandCo has come out with 4 new Spring designs. I hope you like them.

"SPRING ROSES BELLPULL" ~~ Welcome "spring" into your home with this exquisite bellpull. SPRING is stitched/spelled with an elegant font. The letters are adorned with delicate red colored rosebuds and dainty, leafed stems, intertwined with each letter. Design can be finished into a bellpull or wall hanging and will beautifully accent any room in your house.
Stitch Count:43 X 260 Hard Copy:$6.75 PDF: $5.00



TULIP ROW "~~ The bunnies and chicks are happily playing among the rows of tulips. The brightly, just bloomed flowers in red, yellow pink and lavender with their luscious green leaves, seem to be the perfect place for these 4 critters to play hide-n-seek. Peeking out behind the tulips, 2 bunnies and 2 chicks think they are hiding from the 2 robins who are hunting worms in the grass! The fluttering of the butterflies are giving away their hiding spot!
Stitch Count:133 x 57 Hard Copy:$6.75 PDF: $5.00



"SPRING WINDOW" ~~ Wouldn't it be wonderful, to look out your window in the morning and see these charming characters looking in!! Five chicks are looking through your brightly colored window frame; 4 of them, cheek to cheek in the lower panes, and one silly but smart chick is peeking in from the top..upside down! Your gorgeous, blossoming spring daisies have finally grown tall enough, that you can enjoy them through your window too! When the chicks leave, 3 mischievous bunnies come for a visit at a different window, hoping to see if you are getting ready to leave their carrots outside. One is wearing a silly grin (hmm, think he sees those carrots), one has a worrisome look of being discovered, and the third is hanging upside down, most likely from the tree branches. Two Robins have graced your tree and are singing their delightful morning songs.
Stitch Count:63 x 54 Hard Copy:$6.75 PDF: $5.00


"SPRING PEEPS!" ~~ Nothing is more symbolic of Spring than brightly colored flowers along with baby peeps! These 2 precious peeps, with the their soft, yellow fluff, are enjoying a warm spring day. One is absorbing the fresh scent of a recently bloomed daisy, while butterflies twitter about in the air. The second peep is curious and is greeting a fellow spring critter, a worm! Both Peeps are bordered by tulips and butterflies. Can be stitched as one project, as shown in model, or separately. Many thanks to Carol B. for her gorgeous stitching!
Stitch Count:98 x 84 Hard Copy:$6.75 PDF: $5.00

Three finishes to share

A beautiful finish from Susan. She stitched the design on preforated paper, put felt on the back, and sewed a piece of burlap string to hold the greeting card onto the box of chocolates. Neat idea Susan!




This is a finish by Moyrah. I love how she changed the colors. She also used Rainbow Glissen in the hat and the snowflakes. Great job Moyrah!



Another finish is from Mary I. Stitching Forever...Housework Never! Isn't that the way we all feel?? Great job Mary! Love how you finished it.



Happy Stitching!

New Designs For Spring.

Please join us for the fun at the Counted Wishes Cross Stitch Festival. Here are my newest designs I have in the show. Hope you will take time to stop by and order that pattern "you can't live without". :)

"CAUTION--THE CATS!" DOOR HANGER~~ A definate stitch for all households owned by "indoor" cats. They can look charming, innocent and at times pathetic, as they wait by the door for their chance to sneak out of the house and have an outdoor adventure. These 2 whimsical looking cats, along with their lil grey mouse friend, will try their best to hide by the door for that split second chance at freedom! Those entering/exiting cat households must always proceed with caution!!


"THE CAT--CAUTION!" DOOR HANGER ~~ An alternative piece for those single cat families! How many times have you heard "Don't let the cat out!" No matter how convincing the furball may be, always remember this caution!!!


"FOUR CATS & A MOUSE!" ~~ 4 whimsical cats along with their lil friend, the grey mouse, are mischievously sitting in front of a white picket fence laced with green ivy leaves. What are they up to?? From the middle "grey tiger striped" cat to the friends joining him; an orange tabby, a pumpkin colored tiger and a small black and white kitten, their impish yet innocent smiles makes one wonder, just what are they thinking? or planning?


"BRING ON SPRING" ~~ You know winter has been toooooooo long when even the snowmen are ready for spring! A comically unhappy snowman, with his shades of green hat and scarf, has had enough of snow. He's wishing all the crystalized pretties would go away because he's frozen and his snowballs are freezing!


"TEA FOR THREE" ~~ Three best friends spend an lovely spring afternoon, sharing secrets and laughter over tea and cookies under a freshly bloomed tree. A little girl *inspired by my granddaughter* is dressed in her Sunday best, including her straw hat and big pink bow. She is joined at her enchanting tea table with her best friends, Mr. Rabbit dressed in his damper bow tie and Mrs. Bear. All three are enjoying their cookies and tea while surrounded by fluttering butterflies, chirping birds and a squirrel hoping for a crumb or 2! This is an adorable chart for any daughter or grand-daughter.


"THINK SPRING" ~~ The Easter Bunny is coming! This charming brown bunny is thinking and planning spring. He's sitting on the edge of flower box which contains a yellow and a red "just bloomed" tulips. Joining him are a few colorful butterflies and 2 friendly robins.


"SPRING GATHERING" ~~ Is anyone sick of winter and snow yet? I am! Feels like SD has had winter FOREVER! This delightful "SPRING" chart is stitched in gorgeous pastel colors. Robins are abound, looking for worms, feed the babies in their nests. The word "spring" which is stitched in a lovely shades of turquoise/green , is accented with colorful spring flowers and butterflies.


"HOME OF THE BRAVE" ~~ A sweet patriotic quaker styled sampler, to remind us of those who are protecting our precious Freedom. "Home of the Free, Thanks to the Brave" is adorned with easy to stitch quaker motiffs. This design can be stitched with one color or with the suggested DMC's and/or Sulkythreads as shown in our models and finished into pillows, wall hangings, tucks or no sew cubes. Thank you Dee G. and Mary I. for your wonderful job on the models.


"I LOVE HUGS" ~~ The PERFECT companion piece to "After 50". Another quick stitch, this whimsical saying has probably been said in 99% of households in the world! "I love hugs, I love kisses, but I'd really love is help with the dishes!!" This world known phrase is decorated with dainty hearts and green leaves.


"AFTER 50" ~~ Does life begin at 50? A quick to stitch whimsical sampler claims for all stitchers who are 50+. No *red hats* here, just an ol' fashioned coffee pot, with it's heavenly scented aroma wafting through the air, along with dainty flowers and ivy leaves. After all, after 50, all that does perk is the coffee :) Thank you Linda S. for stitching this so nicely for me.


"SHAMROCK CIRCLE" ~~ St Patrick's Day is just around corner and what better way to celebrate than to have a lil "Irish Luck" on your side! An enchanted lucky four leaf clover is surrounded by a circle of rich green shamrocks! A quick, perfect gift for anyone! This design is stitched in Sulky threads but as always the DMC conversion is included .


"ROSE'S NEEDLEBOOK" ~~ 3 beautiful quaker style roses, rose, pink and yellow along with their matching rosebuds create this stunning needlebook. Add a couple of blue butterflies and you have an exquisite needlebook! This design is stitched in Sulky threads but as always the DMC conversion is included . Design can also be finished into a pillow, tuck or wall hanging.Thank you Sandi R. for your beautiful model stitching.
