Shop Update #4

What's New in the Shop!

Mini Spring Triptych

Stitch this quick little design for the Springtime. From left to right; strawberries, a bluebird, and a watering can. I used variegated floss to achieve the shading effect of the vines, flower blossoms, bluebird, and the watering can.

I stitched this on 18 count ivory aida.

Stitch count is 94 wide x 37 high.

I used DMC floss, and the numbers are; 92, 107, 310, 121, 53

Finished size is approximately 5 1/4" wide x 2" high ( 13.3 cm wide by 5.2 cm high ) on 18 count aida.

Red Band Sampler 1

Decided to make a traditional band sampler again!

Stitch Count is 100 x 138

The pictured model was stitched on 18 count Ivory Aida.

Finished size on 18 count aida is approximately 5-1/2 inches (14.1cm) wide x 7-3/4 inches (19.5cm) high.

Mini Ship Sampler

The moon and stars are shining in the night sky; a cheerful fire blazes in a tall house that overlooks the sea; smoke puffs out of the chimney over the tempestuous waters. A ship floats on the waves, while fish splash out of the water.

Information about this sampler:

Stitch count is 80w x 80h

Finished size on 18 count aida is approximately 4-1/2 inches (11.3cm) wide x 4-1/2 inches (11.3cm) high

One color of floss is used throughout, DMC 3750 Very Dark Antique Blue

The fabric used in the picture model above is white 18 count aida

That's All!

See you next time! And until then,

Happy Stitching,

Marisol

Gloomy Weather Reading, Phoenixes, and a Promo Code

Photo by Alessia Cocconi on Unsplash It’s a very stormy, overcast kind of day at the Castle as I write this post. It wouldn’t take much to make me think of books I love, but doesn’t a day that makes you stay inside just make you want to read? A few years ago, I read the Phantom of the Opera. While I had seen the Emmy Rossum movie adaptation, I had never read the book, so I didn’t know what to expect going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic, and a real page-turner! While I do have that book as a paper-back, I’m really enjoying reading with my Kindle. I can stay up late (as late as I can before I fall asleep face first into my pillow) and hear the owls hooting or the traffic driving past my window in the distance. If the weather stays as dark and gloomy as the weatherman says it will, then I foresee reading to the sound of thunder and rain as well. What’s not to like about that? It would be absolutely unacceptable if I mentioned the Phantom ...
