Was Thanksgiving really the last time since I have posted??? Honestly, I could come up with all kinds of excuses where I have been. But, I won't bore you with that. I just have been living life. All is well and busy.<br />
I love this time of the year when the flowering trees bloom, the grass turns green and I can plant pansies & radishes. It is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. <br />
Summer is right around the corner. The kids will be home and we head to the beach for a week. Can't wait for that! <br />
The week before Easter I travel with Abby to Quebec, Canada for her French class. What a trip that will be! I will definitely share photos after we are home. <br />
Luckily, I will have this project to work on while riding in a bus for 14 hours. Yikes! <br />

I love daisies. They are so happy & hold very special meaning to me. I have finished 12 granny squares so far, with roughly 300ish more to go. HA HA!! My goal is to have it finished & ready to curl up in when the air turns cool again next Fall.<br />
<br />
just wanted you to know, in case you haven't noticed, I have added links on my side bar if you would like to follow me on Pinterest and Instagram. I'm in love with both, but they are very dangerous in the fact that I lose all track of time some days. They are wonderful sources of inspiration.<br />
<br />
Well, until next time....<br />
Wishing you all a beautiful Spring. Breathe in the beauty!<br />

<br /><div>Wow! Our Summer flew by so quickly. It has been a lovely one, full of memories to last a lifetime. </div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>The kids go back to school on Wednesday--already! For me, it's bittersweet. I'll miss them, but it will be good to get back to a regular routine, with much more time to get things done around the house as well as much needed time to work in my poor neglected studio.</div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>I have many photos to share with you. But, instead of long, in depth detail of each, I'll let the photos tell the story. </div>

I decided it needed a cover, that has "Me" written all over it!<br />The book is small enough that I can fit into my tote along with my favorite markers and pencils. I love that I can take something to doodle in, wherever I go.<br />Sketching or doodling is one of the things I wanted to get back into this year. I have fallen out of practice, and have forgotten how much I love to do it. I have never considered myself very good at drawing. I just find it fun and relaxing---it's right up there with stitching!<br /><br />For the cover, I used a mix of vintage and new fabric that I had in my stash. The bird pieces you see on the front and back are from my good friend, <a href="http://www.besottment.typepad.com/">Hope</a>. She knows I like birds. They worked perfectly for this project.<br />I didn't have a plan at all, when I started, I just added bits and pieces that I loved. I even added a pocket on the back!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivx8EhkN7V5iDGwo5KIaIgNdIEMOXQQZBS86mOZvNX_XY9Oa5aypzlvqAGomHbXyKb9XAVc8bwkM_nqndOwgN8p4O7-YnebLmEn6XX2FNsELNKw3EosKwP-lRyNR82bPkU6U4Y2lS2KQ/s1600/IMG_4846.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624521867789825474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivx8EhkN7V5iDGwo5KIaIgNdIEMOXQQZBS86mOZvNX_XY9Oa5aypzlvqAGomHbXyKb9XAVc8bwkM_nqndOwgN8p4O7-YnebLmEn6XX2FNsELNKw3EosKwP-lRyNR82bPkU6U4Y2lS2KQ/s400/IMG_4846.JPG" /></a> The photo below is of the inside front flap.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJ1yBWoFacvfZMfa_mn5-001F0tCTGDUYPx1X0KyqRH87tclj_LdxVbQfgZ7rciZ2DvXKdhAeXasXiKe1iBJZQ-T1cjTo8v9eVKxNylElDjMY4NvB0wP-TrONjp2w7hjgLPoFEHZg8A/s1600/IMG_4847.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624521861696804226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJ1yBWoFacvfZMfa_mn5-001F0tCTGDUYPx1X0KyqRH87tclj_LdxVbQfgZ7rciZ2DvXKdhAeXasXiKe1iBJZQ-T1cjTo8v9eVKxNylElDjMY4NvB0wP-TrONjp2w7hjgLPoFEHZg8A/s400/IMG_4847.JPG" /></a> And here is the back flap.

The photo below is of a page I had a lot of fun with. Not a whole lot of doodling, but I think that is OK too. I have a thing for pretty paper and love to use it whenever I can. I started the page with a rose cut from fabric, and sewed it to paper. I then added other bits of paper that I like. I left room for writing---which I will fill in---someday.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi4ca-2URaI_z0nGJ4TAWf55odcJRfaNlzGXNWsCl-EX3pdrsG7JhRCCyVQqImOkSEOMh28V8BvMu45rfQy0Y6uinh3OU2F-CJsLTF_wl3wwOgTQ_FoG5FX68YYt2wYARX4mrp2ywjPQ/s1600/IMG_4851.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624518620253934386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi4ca-2URaI_z0nGJ4TAWf55odcJRfaNlzGXNWsCl-EX3pdrsG7JhRCCyVQqImOkSEOMh28V8BvMu45rfQy0Y6uinh3OU2F-CJsLTF_wl3wwOgTQ_FoG5FX68YYt2wYARX4mrp2ywjPQ/s400/IMG_4851.JPG" /></a> Here, I added an old book page that I had doodled on.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bPQE6iH6ay-ltrzqWE_N_OZGg_izxHVY_4Ud0uUah8VujQKCnwT11ZhnPg9o4H4u1O7_M8XLwfZOIZ-kEZt4XGyyoWifR-meLaPxlL_ZoFKB_AkV4aN4KhmuCY5hJYrfDmRDucq27w/s1600/IMG_4852.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624518612159564178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bPQE6iH6ay-ltrzqWE_N_OZGg_izxHVY_4Ud0uUah8VujQKCnwT11ZhnPg9o4H4u1O7_M8XLwfZOIZ-kEZt4XGyyoWifR-meLaPxlL_ZoFKB_AkV4aN4KhmuCY5hJYrfDmRDucq27w/s400/IMG_4852.JPG" /></a> The page below, was inspired by this quote from Mark Twain.

I will be working on a quilt. Something of an heirloom to hopefully pass on to my kids someday. I will be hand stitching, free embroidery with the help of Miss Mabelle, adding pretty little bits and bobs of fabric, doilies, hankies and dresser scarves all on a base of pillow cases sewn together. I have already started with the little horse you see in the photo. Abby sketched her famous horse in her own little Abby style and I stitched it into a palomino (her favorite kind of horse). Then I snipped small circles from a favorite dress of hers when she was little, and stitched them around the doily. The doily will then be sewn onto the quilt wherever it may suit my fancy at the time.</div><br /><div>I have many ideas floating in my head---things I would like to add to the quilt. Maybe a few favorite quotes or stitchings to remember special family events or moments. Kinda like a memoir of our family that we can wrap around ourselves and snuggle with. </div><br /><div>I'm guessing it might take me a little longer than the summer. But, this is one project I really want to see to the end. Sometimes I start something with good intentions then life gets so busy and my good intentions get pushed to the back burner. </div><br /><div>My very good friend, <a href="http://www.freckledfarm.blogspot.com/">Cammy</a>, is going to do one as well. We made a deal to keep each other in line and stitch together. Now that it is summer, it is something we can both make time for. </div><br /><div>I'm REALLY looking forward to it. </div><br /><div>Can't wait to dig in and get stitching.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>What summer projects are you working on?<br /></div><br /><div></div>kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00735570817602104648noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537005612206960333.post-1649134950799360162011-06-08T12:09:00.000-07:002011-06-09T08:37:08.693-07:00ART JOURNAL E-COURSE and GIVEAWAY<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOSy53c5w_xqe6XAIQGpiJoGF1YkkyleUxMiy4yB9rFppDpS4InlwRgkQTtm8Nn0YFtaVKpLvUzScV2d8ofcOmrkW02Fq-ZEXRX0n5MfvZ1YrXwHO0oCn1NRUnCJP0BJ4gJg3AuC_SQ/s1600/three-times-the-charm-journaling-ecourse-besottment-400px.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 312px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615930278026098146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOSy53c5w_xqe6XAIQGpiJoGF1YkkyleUxMiy4yB9rFppDpS4InlwRgkQTtm8Nn0YFtaVKpLvUzScV2d8ofcOmrkW02Fq-ZEXRX0n5MfvZ1YrXwHO0oCn1NRUnCJP0BJ4gJg3AuC_SQ/s400/three-times-the-charm-journaling-ecourse-besottment-400px.jpg" /></a> My good pal <a href="http://www.besottment.typepad.com/">Hope</a>, is doing it again.

I love her journals. They have a simple, fun, yet elegance to them. I love how she uses very few supplies and how she always carries them with her wherever she goes. I love that when the three of us get together, Hope will pull out her journal and favorite pen---doodle or letter while we chit chat. And no matter where we go, whether it's lunch, out for coffee or exploring a new shop, she always gathers a napkin, business card, or tag to tape in, or slide into a secret pocket.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyc9NnSSkPNaWNFwh92Ai2WQ5QtCICbX8neXRZOYRNjpTCaxU819nQJi8D4mS1xKAZ_dwggZ_tHnt0ikC050D9PBqf6HUFRE7QIgEkRbHmoMCOIZrldagUB_HMeT6bUYeBv89AJG1-Fg/s1600/IMG_4525.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615930047446920386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyc9NnSSkPNaWNFwh92Ai2WQ5QtCICbX8neXRZOYRNjpTCaxU819nQJi8D4mS1xKAZ_dwggZ_tHnt0ikC050D9PBqf6HUFRE7QIgEkRbHmoMCOIZrldagUB_HMeT6bUYeBv89AJG1-Fg/s400/IMG_4525.JPG" /></a> If you find a bit of free time, grab a cold drink, a comfy chair and take a peek at <a href="http://www.besottment.typepad.com/">Hope's journals</a>.

I haven't been a very good blogger lately. This Spring has been a little extra busy this year. The kids are keeping me busy with school events and such. I'm hoping that this Summer, we will all be able to slow down a bit. I'm dreaming of a week spent at the beach, on the porch watching (and listening) to the waves, my latest stitching project in hand.<br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have some exciting news to share with all of you. </div><br /><div>I have been invited to be featured on <a href="http://www.wherewomencreate.typepad.com/">Fabulous Friday </a>(today) over on the <a href="http://www.wherewomencreate.typepad.com/">Where Women Create </a>blog.</div><br /><div>Words can't describe how flattered and honored I am. At the same time, it's a bit scary to put myself out there---it is unfamilar territory for me. I'm used to hanging out in the background, not wanting attention drawn to me. </div><br /><div>But this is an amazing thing. It is great exposure for <a href="http://www.posiesonparade.com/">Posies On Parade</a>, and if I want more people to smile when they look at a Petunia, I need to venture out of my comfort zone, right?</div><br /><div>So, thanks so much <a href="http://www.paigehill.blogspot.com/">Paige</a> for finding me! </div><br /><div>If any of you get a quick second, wander over there and check it out and enter to win a Petunia Posie of choice and a Posie Pocket. </div><br /><div>There are many fabulous women who do such creative things featured in past posts--definitely worth a visit. Grab a glass of ice tea, kick back and enjoy. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>On another note. The momma flower and baby in the photo above was inspired by Mother's Day. I had this idea in my head for a while and have been experimenting with this--trying to work the pattern just right. I had visions of a whole bunch of mom flowers, baby flowers, best friend flowers and sister flowers to add to the shop. But time got away from me (again) and they need to stand just right without falling over. I'm still working on it.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My wish--- for a most special Mother's Day to all the moms, moms to be, and grandmas out there. I hope you get to spend the day with the ones who love you most. </div><br /><div>To my mom, I wish we can be together, sipping a cold drink on your deck. We will be together in our hearts and just know that I consider myself the luckiest daughter in the world. You have taught me how to be the best mom I can be. For all that you have done for me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.</div><br /><div>Thank you for being my mom. I love you.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Have a beautiful weekend. </div>kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00735570817602104648noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537005612206960333.post-87549558120333620632011-04-23T13:15:00.000-07:002011-04-23T13:18:41.290-07:00HAPPY EASTER<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimUMrodCkdjCwl1PBRA5HvwSeAGy1UyXaiQckO4us-IB5XyxeQaNstwE7Bly1QDrp2z92SBXoNEHN8aJjDW3jHZqmpoL8-aW5-b15uwUuELFsF-y6EPtIzpTOjrcSo3Vjv2xIXBC7EFw/s1600/IMG_4581.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598875658390720994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimUMrodCkdjCwl1PBRA5HvwSeAGy1UyXaiQckO4us-IB5XyxeQaNstwE7Bly1QDrp2z92SBXoNEHN8aJjDW3jHZqmpoL8-aW5-b15uwUuELFsF-y6EPtIzpTOjrcSo3Vjv2xIXBC7EFw/s400/IMG_4581.JPG" /></a> May you all have a wonderful and blessed Easter.<br /><br />xo Kelli<br /><br /><div></div>kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00735570817602104648noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537005612206960333.post-57134961198964439032011-03-25T05:00:00.000-07:002011-03-25T05:43:36.433-07:00A POSIES ON PARADE UPDATE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiro3kllmxMEh8DcXQkHS1gD271E7sa-2biDggMS4STiQ9r0ZDd_64DHjNGlMPRBG2NEReI8aqIy5dJtpw6-sb_xVxi0S8VguvWcK_wOaY-liFEz9-HGwJnG3rwzZW__LubcqbAnDZ_5w/s1600/IMG_4469.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587987622840168354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiro3kllmxMEh8DcXQkHS1gD271E7sa-2biDggMS4STiQ9r0ZDd_64DHjNGlMPRBG2NEReI8aqIy5dJtpw6-sb_xVxi0S8VguvWcK_wOaY-liFEz9-HGwJnG3rwzZW__LubcqbAnDZ_5w/s400/IMG_4469.JPG" /></a> In celebration of Spring's arrival, I have a few new goodies to share with you. <br />Introducing <a href="http://www.posiesonparade.com/category_15/Buttercup-Bunnies.htm">Buttercup Bunnies</a>.

I hope your Saturday is a beautiful one.<br /><br />I wanted to show you a project that I finished last night. Last Thursday, <a href="http://www.besottment.typepad.com/">Hope</a> and <a href="http://www.freckledfarm.blogspot.com/">Cammy</a> came over for a bit of crafting and a little lunch. I love it when they both come over and hang out in my studio, I hope they have as much fun as I do. Hope brought a journal cover to work on. It looks amazing--all in Hope's beautiful style. I'm in love with all of Hope's journals---she is a true inspiration.<br />I started to stitch a spring sampler but then I saw Cammy pull out all her beautiful jewelry bobs. I just had to follow suit. We both bought a bracelet kit from <a href="http://www.frenchgeneral.com/">French General </a>while attending <a href="http://www.teresamcfayden.typepad.com/silverbella">Silver Bella </a>in 2009. We have been wanting to make it together for a while, but for one reason or another, we haven't gotten to it yet. She decided to convert hers to a necklace and I loved the idea so much, I did it too. We added our own bits and decided against others that were included in the kit. Basically, winging it with what we had on hand. It is so great to be able to craft together, to bounce ideas off of each other. Unfortunately, we did not have time to finish the necklaces together. Cammy took hers home and finished that same night. I finished mine last night and fairly pleased with how it turned out. I'm anxious to see Cammy's, and see the similarities and differences between the two.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRCCTw2_Jpipt4sPnlPjh_n81kJtTD15mIFOuhOluSyd3HxrFP8GGG0BUD21KxUL30g198xvtzUGV8IiQsokFUrok9sY4_sDvx93cB7SsalLHmj0gVcYl36_lkYvR4m7rDazRBKLNElQ/s1600/IMG_4336.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578065680544945330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRCCTw2_Jpipt4sPnlPjh_n81kJtTD15mIFOuhOluSyd3HxrFP8GGG0BUD21KxUL30g198xvtzUGV8IiQsokFUrok9sY4_sDvx93cB7SsalLHmj0gVcYl36_lkYvR4m7rDazRBKLNElQ/s400/IMG_4336.JPG" /></a> I think my favorite part is the beautiful smokey grey, double sided bauble on the end.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TXsTOjiENSAJXv7-4RKXm-0NCGYiAlmyQ_xAMWn_YkLJTrmRr4DzLZb6tAfcGDk6g9BvA6SBSP6lYW5IK2MrJwdFAdLP6YhCSbPvss2bco2HJlisOIQVACcmJuFShsnRbnt1ectgfA/s1600/IMG_4343.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578065675038602050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TXsTOjiENSAJXv7-4RKXm-0NCGYiAlmyQ_xAMWn_YkLJTrmRr4DzLZb6tAfcGDk6g9BvA6SBSP6lYW5IK2MrJwdFAdLP6YhCSbPvss2bco2HJlisOIQVACcmJuFShsnRbnt1ectgfA/s400/IMG_4343.JPG" /></a> I really love all the colors and how the work together.

I am so excited about Miss Maybelle, my new, old 1948 singer featherweight. She is a birthday present from my Favorite Guy.<br /><br />Last week we were browsing around <a href="http://www.luckettsstore.com/">Old Lucketts Store </a>and in a little room on the third floor, there she was---waiting, along with her attachments and little black case, newly refurbished in all her glory. It was love at first sight. David said "lets get it". My lips said "no", but apparently my eyes said "Okay". Sadly, we walked out of the store that day, leaving Maybelle behind . But two days later, David drove all the way back to Lucketts, before he went to work, and brought her home. And let me tell you, I'm so glad he did!<br />She runs beautifully and I have been happy as can be, sewing goodies when I have a free minute---or free hour.<br />No need to worry about <a href="http://www.kef-mylovelylife.blogspot.com/2010/02/meet-miss-bessy-pearl.html">Miss Bessy Pearl</a>. She is still loved, is still living in the studio and is still stitching up a storm. Both machines have their personalities, each running a little different. Just like my kids!<br /><br />I look forward to the many years of creating with Miss Maybelle---she is the perfect "accessory" for Posies On Parade!kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00735570817602104648noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537005612206960333.post-26223299352439454182011-02-07T05:21:00.000-08:002011-02-07T05:48:58.798-08:00A HAPPY SCARF<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWRvEcxLzv-VDVAQGYVFDTB6VtNWfmDHxRAVd9EqeQVOTe6AmL6-cCsbsJAR3uYdtu28VAXMXyKlZycMI1zsOoZyRgK5TfR0vDX9LiFjf41dibXzcHQi6dHTBrGkMM6iutkfj3tE1dFQ/s1600/IMG_4225.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570937642028401810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWRvEcxLzv-VDVAQGYVFDTB6VtNWfmDHxRAVd9EqeQVOTe6AmL6-cCsbsJAR3uYdtu28VAXMXyKlZycMI1zsOoZyRgK5TfR0vDX9LiFjf41dibXzcHQi6dHTBrGkMM6iutkfj3tE1dFQ/s400/IMG_4225.JPG" /></a>Hello Monday--the the beginning of a brand new week! <br />I hope you all had a lovely weekend.<br /><br />I finished a scarf with some of the yarn I picked up from <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/">Purl Soho</a>.

No school!!! So we plan on a cozy day at home making cookies, reading , watching a movie, and for me, a day of crocheting.<br /><br />Before I serve up hot chocolate, I wanted to share with you, the goodies I found on our recent trip to NYC. David and I did a "couples" trip with my <a href="http://www.freckledfarm.blogspot.com/">sweet friend </a>and her husband.<br />We spent the weekend exploring SoHo. I loved everything about it and can't wait to go back. My most favorite place, besides all the food stops, was <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/">Purl Soho</a>. It is definitely a Kelli store. It's full of beautiful fabrics, yummy yarns, stitching supplies, felts and so much more. If you are ever visit NYC you'll have to check it out.<br /><br />Just look at that tray of goodness. Isn't it delicious? I have scarves planned and lots of stitching to do with my new threads.<br />I love the yarn you see in the photo below. I found it when we stopped in for a second time, just before it was time to catch the train home. It is thick and full of little bits of sparkel, threads and tiny flowers.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhft2vmBqSf9XUQjwik2dG3S01zb2p4FKVOJzEz_cQGJ4asbgdMrYroLRjvQxxcNNOT0UbMDbYnt9AbVFUYaFZ92HH0DEHg98OvmHw2nwiP7MW7wx7EKn5TLsYsyI3l8YfZ37Tz79bbpw/s1600/IMG_4132.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566493663897155522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhft2vmBqSf9XUQjwik2dG3S01zb2p4FKVOJzEz_cQGJ4asbgdMrYroLRjvQxxcNNOT0UbMDbYnt9AbVFUYaFZ92HH0DEHg98OvmHw2nwiP7MW7wx7EKn5TLsYsyI3l8YfZ37Tz79bbpw/s400/IMG_4132.JPG" /></a> I love it! I think it will become a pillow! I can't wait to dig into that!<br /><br />Have a beautiful day my friends.<br /><br /><br /><br />**A quick side note---I just realized that you can click on the photos and see it bigger. The yarn looks great! Try it!<br />I've tried before but it never worked. It does now!

It is very chilly here Maryland and I'm enjoying my Sunday by hanging out next to the warm fireplace. <br />We had the pleasure of enjoying a late breakfast of homemade croissants fresh out of the oven.<br />Made by no other than my better half! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiguzkLUp3eo-brE98hdVvBIA_NwIc5rGQr9sHyZnfj0k3dAHvVZ6hCaM_Ax7LG4x3uDSXez1ThEPd65sss9PMP8vu4CGuT5hqhCm9Ho2KpZCVf3KlJ4jecOtS5q0S9JB5acCk_X2OnIw/s1600/IMG_4160.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565455845111520034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiguzkLUp3eo-brE98hdVvBIA_NwIc5rGQr9sHyZnfj0k3dAHvVZ6hCaM_Ax7LG4x3uDSXez1ThEPd65sss9PMP8vu4CGuT5hqhCm9Ho2KpZCVf3KlJ4jecOtS5q0S9JB5acCk_X2OnIw/s400/IMG_4160.JPG" /></a>David has had a love for making bread for a couple years now. I love the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. It has been a learning experience for David and not all bread has turned out. But of course, the baker is always his worst critic. He is a happy guy when he can serve up hot fresh bread with dinner. <br /><br />I love to watch him in the kitchen--he looks happy and he truly enjoys the whole process from the leavening to the kneading to the rising. But the best part is watching that perfect loaf come out of the oven and knowing that his own hands created it.<br /><br />I found this book at Williams & Sonoma and knew it would be the perfect Christmas gift for David. It is a beautiful book with gorgeous photos and step by step instructions to bake bread just like <a href="http://www.tartinebakery.com/">Tartine</a>. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg329JmT0yBjtVZWH2ll-F3WrBXBZuO1RicBOi5c-noQDcroGOUNNL8QILYEufG2DdZ4Qn2LjcYm6HtY3ThxC145TaZo8MQ5XGmlFnQiT4sILpaHDHRE0AGEYcurntVByT8Q0J-bcXEAQ/s1600/IMG_4066.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565455838824076034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg329JmT0yBjtVZWH2ll-F3WrBXBZuO1RicBOi5c-noQDcroGOUNNL8QILYEufG2DdZ4Qn2LjcYm6HtY3ThxC145TaZo8MQ5XGmlFnQiT4sILpaHDHRE0AGEYcurntVByT8Q0J-bcXEAQ/s400/IMG_4066.JPG" /></a> Since Christmas this is just one example of the many loaves he has baked. </div><div> </div><div>The photo below is what the inside of his croissants looked like this morning.

Can you believe it is 2011? Time <em>does</em> fly. I'm hoping the first month of the new year has been a good one for all of you. There is just a couple of weeks left in January and its soon time to think about Valentine's Day. Love, hearts, and chocolate!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to a fulfilling, creative year ahead. January has been quite busy with friends and family and haven't had much time to work in the studio. I'm definitely not complaining though. I love spending time with the kids, on warm, cozy afternoons hiding from the winter cold, soaking in every moment spent with my mom, enjoying lunch for two with the love of my life, and a fantastic trip NYC with amazing friends. <br /><br />I'm not one for New Year resolutions, although I do have certain goals and desires I would like to see done in 2011. There is a running list in my head of all the things I want to do, but will not bore you with that list. <br />My biggest wish though, is to share with you, each idea and project I manage to accomplish, throughout the year.<br /><br />I'm anxious to get back in my studio and start creating again. I woke up the other morning with many ideas floating in my head. This happens to me quite often. I either go to bed dreaming of fresh creative ideas or awake in the morning-- my brain swarming with new ideas to stitch. There are many sketchbooks floating around the house, but of course, I always forget to keep one by my bed. <br />Just the other morning, I awoke with thoughts of new garlands and I jumped out of bed and quickly sketched my visions before they were lost with the many other ideas that have plummeted into the depths of the black whole in my brain.<br /><br />Now, I'm itching to sneak some time in the studio downstairs---ready to see my visions come to life.<br /><br />Have a lovely day.kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00735570817602104648noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537005612206960333.post-77909043317448304862010-12-26T14:11:00.000-08:002010-12-26T14:28:50.720-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTbE2xmmK1CN1KftZy9EoTff0F9aM7xpLXh-csbaUtV1Sf1zecA27wkNCIpYCSLM49N_q8cANclmIIqfyBnHjIRpkzFVugh5c0z5dOPe5HPXEQgI05KebjLO2PylEa2OwmsDn4sdqig/s1600/IMG_3973.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555117793883938466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTbE2xmmK1CN1KftZy9EoTff0F9aM7xpLXh-csbaUtV1Sf1zecA27wkNCIpYCSLM49N_q8cANclmIIqfyBnHjIRpkzFVugh5c0z5dOPe5HPXEQgI05KebjLO2PylEa2OwmsDn4sdqig/s400/IMG_3973.JPG" /></a> Hope you all had a lovely Christmas spent with the ones you love most.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8D3oxdgGY1u5K1KXAc52QsRVqCEy6I94-ILLb_YvYduM9IyaB4DN7LEpD0_TpBvzVP3OhRtkQVx39Gwb7cxevAGmcqfD2Sgw-qDTIWc5GypLn-LIzsLAl3ONyxfTfN-ASXgoIM2ltA/s1600/IMG_3985.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 249px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555117338024814642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8D3oxdgGY1u5K1KXAc52QsRVqCEy6I94-ILLb_YvYduM9IyaB4DN7LEpD0_TpBvzVP3OhRtkQVx39Gwb7cxevAGmcqfD2Sgw-qDTIWc5GypLn-LIzsLAl3ONyxfTfN-ASXgoIM2ltA/s400/IMG_3985.JPG" /></a> My days are being spent in, staying cosy in my new pj's and slippers, reading with a cup of tea, playing games with the kids and reading some more. </div><div> </div><div>I will be returning after the first of the year, but the shop remains open and I have decided to leave everything on sale.

Such as, sitting down around the fire with a peppermint ice cream sundae topped with hot fudge, watching Polar Express.<br />With any luck, they will remember those little things and those little things will turn into BIG memories.<br /><br />I have worked on a couple projects. I finished my advent calendar, (I will have photos soon) and made new stockings for everyone out of an old quilt with holes I have had for years.<br />The trees are up, the house is decorated (except for fresh greens--Its been so cold and windy I haven't wanted to go outside).<br />On the other hand, my shopping is NOT done. I'm sitting hear telling myself I'm not in panic mode......yet!<br /><br />Now, on to some shop news.<br />I honestly have to apologize for neglecting my shop. I love my little shop and I love making the things for my shop. I have not been keeping up with everything like I intended. I'm not sure what happened---life with three kids keeps me on my toes--and I love it!<br />I regret that I don't have any new things for this winter season to add. For that, I am sorry.<br />I had great intentions and many an idea floating in my head. I guess they will have to float there a little longer and wait until next year. <br />In the meantime, I am excited to share festive news! It is my little gift to you, for stopping by and visiting me. Thank you, I truly appreciate every single one of you. <br />So starting Friday, December 10th, I will be having a <span style="font-size:180%;">WINTER SALE</span>!!!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">EVERYTHING</span> will be <span style="font-size:180%;">30%</span> off! The entire shop! Just in time for a little last minute holiday shopping.<br />Maybe a petunia for your sister? A Rosie for your daughter? Or perhaps a Posie Pocket full of tiny treats for your Mom? There is a little something for everyone, so come take a peek! <br /><br />Sale will be ending Friday, December, 17th.kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00735570817602104648noreply@blogger.com3
