Organizing and more postings

I am trying to organize....what a chore.  My studio and garage are organized chaos....but slowly I am working through it. 

I keep finding boxes of charts and other things.  So, I have started listing items that are oldies but goodies. Take a look at my Etsy Shop for all my new listings....here is a preview of a couple of the items that I listed today-

Folk Bird Tin-This chart has the pattern for the pieces and detailed finishing instructions for the project.  It is finished on an Ginger Altoild tin.

New England Sampler Scissor Fob

This has surface and counted work stitches on the piece.  It also has detailed instructions on how to finish the fob.

Front of Maryland Hornbook

Back of Maryland Hornbook

This quaint hornbook design was inspired from Maryland Samplers.

It is a great piece to use in your sewing box.  The piece has lots of specialty stitches and detailed finishing instructions on completing the project.

Well, I am off to organize more charts, dye and create.  Thank you for looking!

I am blessed to have all of your support and friendship....ebeth

Busy Busy-who needs sleep.....

Here are two new items being released on my Etsy Shop this week.  They are a both part of two new series released at Nashville 2018 Market. 

Fish and Swan Scraps II

This series is designed for you to use up all those lovely linen scraps we hold onto.....They are simple and quick....I already have more designed and they will be released soon.  Keep an eye out for them.

Prim with Bird Prim Sisters Series is a quite quaint.  The series is based off 18th century primitve paintings and samplers.  Cannot wait to get the other charted sisters stitched.  It is a fun and whimisical stitch.

Well, I am off to dye and design.  

As always, thank you for your support and I look forward to the next posting.....ebeth

Moving into Spring

With the Spring Wholesale Needlework show over-I am working on finishing up on the bits of left over orders for shops and my distributor Hoffman Distributing.  As usual it never seems to be enough time to get things done or out the door.  I have been busy dyeing and ordering supplies to complete these orders.

But-those tasks have not stopped my creativity....I still have Scraps II to get completed and I have also started a new series Prim Sisters Series. 

The second in the series is already being stitched.  The series will be stitched on 36 count Americana Froth by From the Cauldron and threads from Romy's Creation, The Gentle Art and Weeks Dye Works.

This patter is available in my Etsy shop this weekend and will be in your Local Shops in the next couple of weeks.

Scraps II to be finished hopefully this week and on my Etsy Shop.

Well, off to dye, package and create. 

May you have a wonderful weekend and week.

I appreciate your support and friendship.  Ebeth

Dames of the Needle/Finger Work/From the Cauldron

Under Pressure.....

Some people work better under pressure....sometimes the powers to be just give you openings in your life to make things happen.  I never quite know which box I fit in.....

I stitched this piece before the holidays and then never got around to finishing it.  I wanted to stitch something on 28 count Toast....I kept designing things and nothing seemed to work.  Then Rabbit Garden came about....then I realized it needed to be a needle book.  After the stitching was completed-the inside did not come to me.  I kept thinking and then putting it down and well it got put on th shelf with get done when you have a moment staging area.

I really like to be in a zen moment to finish.  Actually to create and to experiement with new colors....but with my life the past couple of years that is not a possibility....So I take the moments when they present themselves. 

It has been raining off and on and dyeing and finishing up with the new velvets, linens and trim for market just have not been able to get done.  I have combed my usual places for unique objects to put up for sale on Facebook and my Etsy Shop.  Alas I have not been able to find too many things.  As most of you know Facebook has changed out its algorithm and posting sales on Facebook has been a challenge.

Believe it or not Nashville Needlework Wholesale market is coming up in a week and a half.  As usual I am rushing around trying to gather items and finish up with this and that.  It has been a strange year with Norden Craft, Nordic Needle-two big distributors closing their doors abruptly.  It has left a whole in the market.  Several wonderful shops have had to close not because of the economy, but needing to retire for family and health reasons.  Now the designers are coming out of the wood work in groves announcing their retirements after this market....it is almost like musical chairs and lets see who is left standing soon.....never the less, I am still here....I am working on keeping the Etsy Store fresh and working on how to bet the odds on the new algorithms of Facebook.  I love what I do and hope to bring new items to you in the next year that will inspire and help you create items for your relaxation and pleasure. 

As usual I am hoping to change things up-I am hoping to figure out how to video some finishing techniques and other ways to apply the trim and load them up to the internet after I get through the frenzy of the market.

Anyway.....this brings me to showing my newest creation.  Rabbit Garden Needle Case. 

This fun and primitive piece just got finished this weekend.  I have found a few moments to write all of this and put it up on Facebook.  I have a few things to tweak on the instructions and this item will be for sale this week in my Etsy shop and at Market....

As always I appreciate your support, kind words and encouragement.  I could not be the person, company and success that I am without you.....I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming along this journey with me.  I look forward to our future trips down whatever path this industry and my creative juicies lead us...Hugs-Ebeth.
