So now I want to share some pics of my patriotic picture I finally put over my fireplace...It is a Blackbird Designs....I stitched it in 2003....I left it out all year in my former home, but in this house it is switched out with my other sampler..I have also been tweaking the fireplace again...Someday i will be satisfied with it...The clock is no longer on it ...I added some of my blue boxes i paint and i'm adding a few more things...I will share at a later date...
Here is my latest purchase...I've been wanting a sheep..http://www.lemonpoppyseeds.com/shoppes/psprimitivehomespuns/.I love the piece of coverlet on it....I bought it with money Taylor gave me for Mother's Day for $28...What a deal!!!...She made me promise not to buy "some creepy black doll" as she put it....She sort of ha
s a phobia of dolls..And primitive dolls just aren't her favorite....She doesn't like my faceless prairie ones either...And this picture I x-stitched years back spooks her, too....I didn't think she was going to let me leave it in the family room...Now does that face scare you???...I have to little girl pattern that goes with him to x-stitch someday...I guess i will wait til she moves out of the house...LOL...Oh, and he is solid x-stitch...It took a while!!
Until next time!!...hugs, Jen

Jen- glad you found what you were looking for. I had to laugh about the creepy black doll comment. My kids don't like them either!
Have a good evening...Judy

I think your fireplace looks so awesome, but I sure know that feeling when it doesn't seem quite right...I swear I am a tweaking queen..:)
Happy to hear you found what you were looking for!
I love the sheep the coverlet is a great accent to it...great find for you:)
Glad you found the link you were looking for, I'm still just standing and looking at mine.LOL

I am in awe of your fireplace! I would absolutely love to have something even close to yours!
Have a great weekend!
I love "ugly" dolls, the "uglier" the better. One day while Christmas shopping with my daughters, I saw a great ugly snowman. They said they would never come home for Christmas again if I bought it. Of course, I did and they still come home but I have to put it in an inconspicuous place. So I feel your pain. I love the cross-stitch you did and I'll bet the girl is just as great. The sheep is wonderful, too.
Hi jen,
I'm glad I was able to help!
Just wanted to let you know - we have the same taste in cross stitch patterns! I have the same xmas stockings as you do, except I have 5. I have stitched some of the same santas you have going up your stairs and also the picture of the boy with the train/toys in your son's room! Did you do the little girl having the tea party that goes with it? Was the picture of the boy you just posted from the same magazine? I remember one similar to him, not sure if it's the same on. Too many years ago!
Take care,
~Kris~
LOVE THE STITCH , BEAUTIFUL PIECE
such a beautiful sampler--I had to laugh because I, too, am always rearranging or adjusting (think that I have nomadic furniture). Country Sampler is fortunate that they can feature such a lovely home. Arlyce
Funny! My 11 year old HATES my George Washington picture that hangs over the dry sink where we eat. She says he's looking at her and scares her!
