and you know, don't you!

 Yes, you know I will have started on a new landscape and it seems I have at least one more 'Him and Me' lurking in my brain, as you can see from this...

I've had that piece of pre-printed flowers in my stash for ages and couldn't find a use for it - until now.  I plan to add lots of hand stitching over top to give more dimension.  The barn off in the distance is another piece of a panel I've had lurking about.  In case you're thinking the couple are sitting in mid-air, there will be a chain added to complete the swing but that won't happen until the quilting and embroidery are done.

- THIS would be a great use for that skein of laceweight (or sock yarn) that you've had sitting around.  

- I thought THIS was intriguing, but possibly not as a pincushion...perhaps as a display piece to show off pretty little embroideries or special fabrics?

- THESE are pretty and would look nice in my living room.

Today's quote...

You just never know

 Yes, you just never know what might appear on this blog.  AND....if you're squeamish, you'd better scroll down to the picture of knitting (just sayin').  The public service announcement for today is this..

If you spend the big bucks to buy those 'poo-pourri' sprays perhaps you'd like to try making your own using this recipe.... 3 Tablespoons vegetable glycerine; 2 Tablespoons rubbing alcohol; 1/2 tsp. essential oil; 1/2 c. water.  Pour into spray bottle and shake before use.  

You're welcome.

And now, for the promised knitting content....two more hats heading for the donation box.  Funny thing, the drawer of yarn doesn't look the least bit different!

- LeeAnna of Not Afraid of Color blog posted the link to THIS and I thought you might enjoy it too.  Turn your sound on and relax.

- Take some time to peek through the galleries of THIS incredible artist!

- If you have little scraps of fabric, perhaps making some of THESE would be a great use for them.

- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS artist too!  

Today's quote..."W.I.P stands for 'Works In Progress' but let's be honest - it's really more like 'Waiting In Piles"

Another introduction!

Today's quote..."If it doesn't open, it's not your door"

A close up of sorts

This, I hope, will show you a few of the details I'm adding to the landscape.  Hopefully you can see the sailboat, the seagulls and the pot of flowers.  

- Have a peek at the gallery of THIS artist!  

- And THIS one too!

- I'm pretty sure THESE are generated by AI, but dang, they're awwww-worthy! (scroll down)

Amending this post to add this important piece of information (thank you Boud...if you want to know more about it, read her post HERE)...

One more

 In the ongoing effort to use up some yarn 'bits', another hat for donation (and I STILL have enough of those colours to make at least one more!)....

- THIS might be fun to make for your spring decor.

- I know there are lots of needlebook designs out there, but THIS one caught my eye.

Your quote of the day.... Donna shared this on her blog last week and I had to pass it along to you...
