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
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
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
Progress from last night's stitching while watching the 4th episode of the Civil War on PBS...
I love Ken Burn's work...
his words...
images...
and the chosen music touches my soul.
Yesterday was spent tidying up the studio for Saturday's hooking/stitching group...
especially the wool room...
Amazing how out of control this room can get...
but for now it's tidy...ready and waiting for wooly friends;)
It will be good to welcome everyone back to the studio...
~Laurie
Cool late summer breeze coming thru the windows...
enjoying an evening of stitching...
watching The Civil War on PBS...
life is good;)

Today while walking in the wood,
I heard a voice and there she stood.
A softened face, a kindly soul,
Where she came from I do not know.
She has two braids, I have just one
I magical tale has begun.
...Miss Hilda Thornbroom as been lurking about the studio now for several weeks.
I have a feeling she will be showing up a lot in my work this Autumn;)
~Have a great...and safe holiday weekend ~L
Good Day Dear Ones,
These late summer days are perfect for finding treasure...
these gems are nature's gift...
black walnut is my favorite dyestuff...
and today my squirrel friends have shared with me...
they took their portion...for breakfast or perhaps to hide for a winter's day...
and left some magic for my dyepot!
Enjoy this fine day ~ L
