These are a joy to stitch-yes there is over one. But you can to Tent Stitch and it helps with the stitches bunching up. These guys are wonderful. If you do not want to make them into ornaments-then you can use them as pin drums.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvaKa0lKYp9h6tFP0jNcRJzKaSOeR7tzow0Xk2s0_ClKtJcUP535bOQg9q4FShbbCDnlDxrk4U1fWogQlknYXfmVWDENa8pV9eQz-k5M1SddETKYq9e6m8WeFQ75KKvG4ZCQQ211z8BKS0KpqmfbRgvqwi4lHr1mJ6zzyDgI3S2NE_BdzaepOTpHJZ/s3000/believe%20stacked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvaKa0lKYp9h6tFP0jNcRJzKaSOeR7tzow0Xk2s0_ClKtJcUP535bOQg9q4FShbbCDnlDxrk4U1fWogQlknYXfmVWDENa8pV9eQz-k5M1SddETKYq9e6m8WeFQ75KKvG4ZCQQ211z8BKS0KpqmfbRgvqwi4lHr1mJ6zzyDgI3S2NE_BdzaepOTpHJZ/s320/believe%20stacked.jpg" width="80" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is Believe-a larger Winter Themed Christmas drum.

I confuse myself at times and trust me that is not hard....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I so hope that you are finding time to enjoy the moment. It is so hard these days and with the end of the year coming up and plans happening for the new year it is hard to take a moment and to just breath. It is wonderful to document these moments, but in truth the memories are just as good or better. The kids and I miss the photo opportunities a lot these past few years. It seems with traveling in, working-trying to just relax and visit-the photos are the last thing we think of...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will try to remember to get a photo or two this year. Especially since if any of you follow me-my photo in Just Cross Stitch Magazine for my Christmas Ornament is not my children with me. It is random people and I find it amusing. Maybe next year I will put in a picture of someone else....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway-I am off to do my usual. Have a Red day-smiling.

Truly I do not have enough time in the day to keep things on track. I do have Beth who helps me-but since the holidays I have had jury duty and her schedule has been whacko, so hopefully we can sync up soon. I NEED THE HELP. An adult nanny would be the perfect solution Nanny McPhee I need you....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is Fish and Swan the second in a series I started a billion years ago. It is great for grabbing that small piece of linen and any colors that you want to use if you do not have the ones called for or just feel like a change up. These are quick and fun and a great gift. Stitch a few up and have them at the ready to give to your stitching friend. Or if you have a small family of borrowers living in your house-they may work as cushions for their couch....Yes, I am on form with the bad jokes today...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAu4UTsi_yGlkZlQYWA0LJ3_pHnSsP6unKeaLMCMaF0lz0WjVIXgybnqVLSIR4xHa-Iok9ftaCJwFc2BsGUkOMddNtiUw16k55jVJadtoV3p6AU13lHesNq4arbuJ6_4wu3w9lZfXCynlZckQMgq3f7nUqofCbXDj8xsIT0kcySXBhZsSG22FUIJy/s540/scraps%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="459" data-original-width="540" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAu4UTsi_yGlkZlQYWA0LJ3_pHnSsP6unKeaLMCMaF0lz0WjVIXgybnqVLSIR4xHa-Iok9ftaCJwFc2BsGUkOMddNtiUw16k55jVJadtoV3p6AU13lHesNq4arbuJ6_4wu3w9lZfXCynlZckQMgq3f7nUqofCbXDj8xsIT0kcySXBhZsSG22FUIJy/s320/scraps%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another series I started.

I know that I can go into hiding at times. It is hard to do as much as I do....it is sorta hard to define what I do. </p><p>I dye-not only linen, but trim and other fabrics. I try to squeeze in designing here and there. I sell wholesale and retail. I hardly have time to sleep-no kidding. </p><p>I am not sure if you are like me-but since the lockdown-I have been working on getting out there and making my life 'normal'. That is hard when you work from home. At first the lockdown was great-no change here. But then stores changed hours, things got harder to find and time seemed to slip away. I have learned how to shop at different times, go online more-which, if you have not purchased from a source before can be a little unsettling. </p><p>A few of you might have known-but in March of this year 2022-I fell in my studio and had a fight with a bookcase and it won. I broke my right shoulder. With the help of a very good friend and many more-I was able to keep my business going and move through the event. I was lucky and did not require surgery, but it was over a 9 month long PT event and I still have issues. It weakened my body core-so I am doing Yoga like crazy and walking is a problem. Who woulda thunk-that injuring your shoulder would cause so many other issues. </p><p>I learned a lot on having others help me. It was interesting teaching someone to help me dye, handle cutting linen and trim. They definately decided there is no glam in this line of business.</p><p>The first of this year-I canceled all my events-before my shoulder injury. I think the universe was telling me something. I did add on a wonderful class in Texas in October and I managed to walk a show-Houston Quilt show as a buyer and got inspired to venture into other items to sell. </p><p>I have fallen in love with Mister Finch and some other textile artist I have found during this weird times in our world. I have started doing more textile arts and upcycling items. I will share some of my mushrooms and other items that I have started doing in my 'spare time'. </p><p>I just want to close this rambling with again, thank you for following me. I hope to get more lives out there and share my thoughts and knowledge. Please look for me popping up in a few magazines. I have some designs coming out in them and am trying to meet a deadline for a personal dyeing article. It is not to help you be a professional, it is all about starting off, being safe and a few tips to get you excited about trying dyeing. </p><p>I have found that dyeing is like finishing. After you do it once maybe twice you decide if you are going to go down that rabbit hole again or not. Trust me both are not for the faint of heart. I truly wish more designers gave their finishers the credit they deserve. Being a true finisher is a talent not to be challenged. It is the most amazing experience to start with nothing and to create a tangible item without any pattern or help. Lots of times when one is busy creating and moving to the next deadline you deny yourself the moment of happiness and sense of accomplishment-to just sit back and say-I did that. </p><p>Well, I am off to move items around-find missing things, dye, stitch and create. Look for some pictures of some of my new creations.</p><p>Hugs-have a stellar moment-ebeth</p>Dames of the Needlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04092751469645223394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498785274940664120.post-91841405056146896982022-12-07T10:28:00.002-05:002022-12-07T10:28:28.830-05:00Bees may be sleeping now-but their wax is still being used....<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are great items to have in your stitching nest or to give as gifts to your stitching friends.

A never ending orgaic room. Never the same twice. The office and dye area always look like they are ready to explod. I have finally gotten the open space orgaized and almost presentable. This year I decorated out in the common area with lights, wreaths, garland, a few nutcrackers and such. I finally got the tree up in my bedroom. It is almost complete. I will post pictures of the holiday decorations later this week. It was great to have Isa and Miguel help me with the main tree this year. After the year of the broken shoulder-it has been hard to find the engery to get things done. Who knew how much one area can affect the whole body....well so much about me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As I was digging around and cleaning up-I found these wonderful charts in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DamesoftheNeedle" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>.

I have a wonderful mushroom grouping that I hope to be able to debut this week. It has been fun expanding my mushrooms to a grouping and into a container. Creating the logistics and display of several mushrooms has been challenging and fun. I am so inspired by the works of Mister Finch and other textile arist that I have been so lucky to find.

I am teaching in Texas-Texan Style Tray Topper<p> AFter a very different and interesting year. Not sure I shared-but right between Nashville 2022 market and The Sampler Guild of Georgia annual Retreat. I managed to fall and break my right shoulder -the ball in half. Well, it has been a long recovery and with the help of friends I was able to keep the business going and move on. It has been slow and I still have a few of those things hanging around that need to be taken care of...it just seems like there is never enough time to get everything done. </p><p>The universe had stepped in and I had canceld all my obligations for 2022. I decided I needed to focus on getting things in line, so all my vendor and teaching obligationsfor 2022-I bowed out of. Yes, things work out for a reason. Literally after canceling everything the next day I broke my shoulder. Well, if you have never done this and let the break heal without surgery, you know that it is a year long process. It is September 2022 and I am still on limited picking up and so on. </p><p>Well, if you know me-I cannot say no. I am going to take a look see at the Houston Quilt Market in October of this year. 3 Stitches (281) 320-0133 asked for me to teach a class since I would be in the area. So, on October 27th, 2022 I will be teach the finishing for Texan Style Tray Topper. This piece will not be released at a later date. 3 Stitches will have the chart and do as they wish with it after this. It is stitcher on my Mermaid's Firewood with an assortment of overdyed threads and finished with Mermaid's Fire Crinkle Ribbon and Mermaid's Osnaburg on the back. Contact Pam at 3 Stitches at the phone number above to get your pre-stitching kit. There are a few spots left. I cannot wait to teach!</p><p>I also can design a similar design if your guild, shop or group would like to have a ruler tray topper in this style.</p><p>Well I am off to get my house ready for Isobel of Primitive Hare. She will be in Atlanta for her only American teaching gig for 2022. We are busy stitching her piece for her to come and teach the finishing October 21, 22, 2022. We as of today September 8, 2022 have 2 spots open and then it is a closed class. <a href="mailto:info@damesoftheneedle.com">info@damesoftheneedle.com</a> . </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Now who would not want this primitive two comparment ruler box with this lid that screams popping spring. The design is from an antique sampler that I own (that is in the works being reproduced) I just love the fact that the undulating row for the strawberries is red-not the traditional green. As red is my fav color-that just kicks it up a notch. Stitched on 32 count Aged Saffron, threads Simply Wool by The Gentle Art, Mater Samich Velet and Black Crinkle Ribbon to finish it off. The 2 compartment Ruler Tray can be order from me Dames of the Needle. A must for any stitcher.

The weather has been so weird. Rain and more rain-weather has been too warm and horrible storms. Tornado watches and warnings now the temps have dropped and we got a skirt dusting of snow and it is just going to keep on coming. My back yard is a river-but I am still kicking it with dyeing and trying to catch up with getting items in when they are available and so on....Here is a new Item for finishing I have added to the mix. It is a poly/rayon mix 1/2" ribbon that when wet crinkles-hence crinkle ribbon. The product is sold crinkled when I dye it and can be ironed to be flat. I do have some of the ribbon dyed from the Manufacturer that is not crinkled....you can drop it in hot water and let it dry and it will crinkle if that is the effect that you are looking for....</p><p>So, for the New Year-let me introduce Italian Custard, Hot Santa and Honey Whiskey Crinkle ribbon. Mater Samich will be out this week. More to come!!!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4QYC9YVSBnmMo-SSUzDXVvAdUHGUXKcLkjoK--1NltIRS2XVKM2FJlTSCjTWjXfMQ7_2FALBpNMRX6k96vBrD2y_8lalWmRR58rbZpxDXbQ2A1p48XaedjSe65G5nfJyGq_PV1T2jdcZEfqEqoXxN_8PyzHZe2D_vtWjLJtXNkfPgK44Vmt1Rth59=s540" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="405" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4QYC9YVSBnmMo-SSUzDXVvAdUHGUXKcLkjoK--1NltIRS2XVKM2FJlTSCjTWjXfMQ7_2FALBpNMRX6k96vBrD2y_8lalWmRR58rbZpxDXbQ2A1p48XaedjSe65G5nfJyGq_PV1T2jdcZEfqEqoXxN_8PyzHZe2D_vtWjLJtXNkfPgK44Vmt1Rth59=s320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Italian Custard-I love this mellow buttery color.

Putting them together is as fun as collecting them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As for their history-that is a little of a mystery. They came into existence in the 14th century in Japan. They were used to assist with floral arranging. There are some sources that they were brought into existence in the 16th century in Europe. But Japan was the starting point for these glass gems. There is no documentation as to why they are called frogs. There are some recerences to it could possibly be because they sit in water....Most frogs are not marked by a year prior to the late 1870. Frogs come in all kinds of materials. Mostly glass, but they can be made out of ceramics, there are metal frogs too. Some of the frogs are figurines and they add to the floral decoaration. No matter how they came up with the name-it is also quite the mystery on how they moved from floral arranging to holding implements. Possibly a busy floral arranger used them to put their pencile or even their brushes and it took off. No matter what, when or how-these pieces are always a unique addition to any sewing nest. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well-off to wrangle trim and linen.

I used foam core instead of matte board so that the lip of the insert on the back would hold the piece in place. I also used the foam core for the stitched part so that I could pin mount the chenille/ribbon trim. I played around with sewing it on (and I do not glue!), so I used silk brass pins and pinned the trim in place. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am finishing a couple more pieces for my friend then this wonderful piece and the other pieces will wing their way back home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a true honor to come up with an interesting and different finish for this piece.

I am working on transfering the pictures over and doing a quick tutorial on how to finish a flat finish lip lid. It is so easy and fun-yes finishing can be fun.

The great humorist, while not perhaps very robust, is in the best of health. He said: ‘I can understand perfectly how the report of my illness got about, I have even heard on good authority that I was dead. James Ross Clemens, a cousin of mine, was seriously ill two or three weeks ago in London, but is well now. The report of my illness grew out of his illness. The report of my death was an exaggeration.’</span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="9q7lu" data-offset-key="d4jeo-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="d4jeo-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><span data-offset-key="d4jeo-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;"><br data-text="true" /></span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="9q7lu" data-offset-key="6tp88-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="6tp88-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><span data-offset-key="6tp88-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">As like Mark Twain-there is some information that has been misinturpreted-</span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="9q7lu" data-offset-key="3nvg9-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="3nvg9-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><span data-offset-key="3nvg9-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">I guess that is what happens when one lives in one's studio and does not come up for air.
