Design: Home is Best Designer: Lizzie*Kate (a very old freebie) Threads: DMC Color Variations and DMC Fabric: 28 count evenweave I stitched this for Lucy on the Hooked on Exchanges blog - the theme was 'Summer House' and as at the time Lucy's blog was all decked out for the Fourth of July, I thought she might like a piece with the Stars and Stripes - it turned...

Design: Trick or Treat from the Hallowe'en Sampler Leaflet Designer: Lizzie*Kate Threads: DMC as charted Fabric: 28 count evenweave Another 2008 finish. It's still waiting to be made up into something, but I should be able to get it made up this autumn - I have a lot of suitable backing fabrics in my stash, given my fondness for autumnal colours! The colours in this photo don't really...

Design: Valentine's Flip It Designer: Lizzie*Kate Threads: DMC and various overdyes Fabric: 14 count aida, tea dyed by me This little cute and cheery design needs the charm attaching, but I thought I would share it anyway.

Design: Be Merry Designer: Lizzie*Kate Threads: DMC Fabric: 28 count cream evenweave I finished this up a while ago, with three other co-ordinating designs. I used beads for the "confetti" stitches, and put this together using the method The Drawn Thread use for their scissor fobs.

Design: How Does Your Garden Grow? (old freebie, not available online) Designer: Lizzie*Kate Threads: DMC conversions, mainly as charted Fabric: Zweigart 32 count Belfast linen, vintage...

Today's Lizzie's 12th birthday. I wish I could adequately describe, in concrete terms, just how much I love our girl. She spent last night with a friend and we met again at church this morning. She shuffled into the row with her head down, a scowl on her face. "I so don't want to be here right now," she said. "Why not?" I wondered. Has she already reached existential crisis mode? "I'm hungry,"...

Design: Follow Your Heart Designer: Lizzie*Kate Threads: GAST Fabric: 14 count aida, tea dyed by me Another use for my tea dyed aida, this was a very quick stitch and will be a present for Mr Beebarf, given that his heart led him over the Atlantic Ocean :o) I will finish this as a wall hanging, I have some fabric which co-ordinates nicely. I changed the main colour from the charted blue...
