Back on Track?

Hopefully this week I will get back on track.  With my son's wedding, the long weekend at the campground, my granddaughter visiting for a week, the new puppy and the whole family here on the long weekend, I haven't had a moment to myself it seems.  Added to that my internet is acting up supremely so that doing anything online takes hours and it has been hard to find moments for stitching.  But this morning it is just the dogs and me left here at the trailer, the campground is almost empty and once I finish mowing and cleaning up there should be room to breathe.  So, in the meantime I would love to share some of the wedding pictures.  DD, Katie, was a bridesmaid, and here we are, both looking very happy obviously! 


This is Bobbi, my beautiful new daughter-in-law.  Bobbi is such a lovely person and the reason I have such a big happy smile in all the wedding pics.  I am overjoyed to have Bobbi in the family - she and my son are so happy together and good for each other.  That they have made this commitment to each other by getting married has me as happy as a clam!


This is the Leslie clan at the wedding.  From left to right:  My handsome hubby, myself, the bride and groom, daughter Katie and finally on the far right Barrie, my brother-in-law who came all the way from Quebec for the ceremony. 

My handsome son, Sean, the happy groom, after the ceremony.

And here is the whole family:  My son, Sean, my daughter-in-law, Bobbi, and my new grandchildren, Allie and Sam.

How could I resist sharing this last photo of Sam?  lol - isn't it a cute snap?!

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
