Red Barn in Wiscasset

My obsession with architecture continues. I have photographed many barns and churches and houses in Maine. This lovely structure is in Wiscasset, Maine- the self declared "Prettiest village in Maine". It actually is quite pretty!




This is a page from my sketchbook.

Enjoy!

More on the sale in the fall!

Here is my latest obsession- french knots!  I am painting with french knots.  I have done this before- and really love it, but it got lost in the shuffle when I started painting more- here's a peak at the look I am achieving!

Again- to try and cut back on the redundancy, please come over to ninestonesneedlework.blogspot.com and subscribe.  I have only convinced a few of you to do this- but i feel badly sending double posts to those of you that have switched.  Come on over! Send friends the link!


Cheers!

Daisy love!

Another thunderstorm just rolled into town- so wonderful! I love the sound of the rain, the thunder, and the way the air cools- perfectly relaxing.

Here is another watercolor for consideration- maybe a cross stitch chart?

Wool and Hoop Crewel project

OK- I promise I am not starting a new business again!  I am, however, quite excited about my crewel project!  I met the woman who started Wool and Hoop (www.woolandhoop.com) at the TNNA show last month and am now hooked on this technique- quick, easy, and lovely results- don't you think?
If you have not gone to my new blog for Nine Stones Needlework- please go and sign up to receive the updates as you already do with this blog.  I am hoping to cancel this blog soon and only post from ninestonesneedlework.blogspot.com soon!

I am starting to paint for the next series of needlework pieces!  Such fun!
Snowdrops are some of my favorite flowers.  They appear when you need them most- popping up through the snow- marvelous.

OK everyone- Wordpress has defeated me and I am going back to my comfort zone and using my good old familiar blogspot site again.  I am slowly going to transition this group to ninestonesneedlework.blogspot.com but if you already tried to go to the new blog on Wordpress, no worries- it simply doesn't exist anymore!  If you are still reading and following me, you could go to ninestonesneedlework.blogspot.com and subscribe there though!  Thank you for your patience- it will smooth out soon- I hope!

New blog and Etsy site!

Please come over to my new website and click on the blog button. You can submit your email address there and begin to get posts from the Nine Stones Needlework side of the world! I will be phasing this blog out soon, but don't want to lose any of you!
I have just launched my Etsy site to get things going as well. The idea is to start selling charts only and then sell kits, hopefully, by August!

The National Needlework Association Show!

I am finally here! Columbus Ohio- the new center of my universe! I must say the people at this show are really nice, and the feedback on my new collection is good. Slow start to the show because of an airport control tower burning down???- so many people had trouble getting here. But the crowds are picking up! More later.....but for now..... here's a shot of the booth.
