And wishing you all a wonderful 2014 with lots of time to stitch!

Every year I make a few ornaments for our tree. I think in about 10 years or so, I'll have enough for the entire tree!
The best part that I found all of the above patterns for free on Pinterest. There is a large network of sampler stitching lovers who post pictures there.
I used leftover pieces of linen and DMC.
I hope you're inspired to make a few ornaments of your own this year.

My Dream Studio Come True
A few months ago my husband and I took a trip to the nearest IKEA store which is near Pittsburgh,about 1-1/2 hours away. I was looking for a cabinet to hold threads and other necessaries.
As we strolled through the furniture floor, I spotted a desk & drawer set up that looked PERFECT for me: two cabinets each with FIVE sliding drawers served as the base for a sturdy desktop. And the pricing was very affordable.
I bought two sets, a couple of bookcases and a cubby unit, a cabinet and some lighting and now, voilà:
There is still a lot to do to make my studio more comfy (and less messy). My problem is that when I come into the room, all I really want to do is stitch!

Welcome, Dear Reader
I'm glad you found my first post to a very special blog. It is finally time to record my stitching journey and I hope you'll join my on my adventures.
I love all things stitching: cross stitch (especially samplers), needlepoint, embroidery. Although I enjoy stitching designs by many different designers, I especially like to design my own pieces. I promise to post FREEBIES here on this blog for you to download and stitch.
Coming up next time: a peek into my studio!
