And so the Season begins...

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Opening Reception this Thursday evening!
Very happy to part of this wonderful event.

I'll have lots of SnowFolk looking for new homes...
many punch needle brooches...and a few hooked mats!

A Full Autumn Monday...

Good Day...
Yep, it is a full and busy day in the studio!
In between processing orders and dye pots...
my work on adapting favorite rug patterns to other formats continues.

Loving how my sweet partridge is coming to life in punch needle;)
Hope you have a lovely day ~ Laurie

1st Friday of Autumn

Hello Dear Friends,
A lovely, but gray Autumn day here...
the contrast of the green and golden leaves against the overcast sky is beautiful!

Today is my Momma's 85th birthday! I need to get off the computer and get her cake in the oven...
but thought I would drop in here to say hello for a moment!

I've been busy the past few days updating patterns.
{if you follow me and/or the studio page on Facebook...sorry for all the posts;)}
Many are now available in the Etsy shop as PDF Instant Downloads!

This morning I finished the update on "Hook Good Rugs"...

this old favorite is now available as a PDF!

And soon several of my smaller mat patterns will be available as Paper Patterns or PDF's too.
With my commitment to caring for my folks, I've needed to come up with a way to streamline the business
...and still earn an income;)
Everyone seems to like these formats:)
It will certainly save me time in drawing patterns, so hopefully I'll have more time for new designs and some much need handwork!

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend ~L

Sunny September Sunday...

What a glorious day!
The leaves are starting to turn...and the smell of woodsmoke warms my heart.

I put this bouquet together yesterday...

a sweet treat that makes me smile!

When I got back from taking Dad to church,
I started in on finishing orders to go out in the morning mail.

I'm itching to get the models and patterns finished for my 1st release in the Hilda Thornbroom Series.

There just aren't enough hours in my day...
my mind is so far a head of my hands;)
Hopefully it will all come together in time to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox:)
Wishing all lovely last days of summer ~Laurie
