Heart in the Garden

I started this piece on New Years Day and finished it up this afternoon. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I am a huge E&E&F fan and this one was so much fun to stitch!





Heart in the Garden
Designer: Ewe & Eye & Friends
Fabric: 32ct. Vanilla Hand Dyed by BeckySC
Fibers: DMC
Date Started:1-1-11
Date Finished:1-2-11


Check out this amazing basket that my dear mother found for me on one of her consignment shop visits. She knows so well how I enjoy displaying my smalls around the house in baskets and any other ways :) Among stitching gifts for some of my readers :) I am going to work hard this year to fill this basket with small pillows.-most anyone knows I have a thing for pin pillows and small pillow finishes:) This basket is HUGE and Heart in the Garden will be the first pillow that goes into it.



I have lost my blog reading mojo. I haven't read blogs or commented on any (well maybe one or two) in quite some time (I am sorry for the lack of visits/comments to your blogs and I feel just awful about not visiting) and I just can't make myself sit at the computer and do so-I have no desire to be on the computer...I post my finishes as I know if I don't I will no longer have a visual record of my stitching recorded for reference and that's one of the reasons for my blog. I am guessing in time my blog reading mojo will return(gosh, I sure hope so!!)...until then please don't feel obligated to comment or visit-I don't blog for comments-though I truly enjoy hearing from you all and can't thank you enough for your sweet words :) I blog because I truly enjoy sharing my love of stitching with other like minded people :) I pondered turning my comments off until I got my visiting mojo back...but remembering I turned off comments once before and was bombarded with email to please turn them back on I decided to just leave them on.

Thank you all for stopping by.
Have a lovely upcoming week :)
hugs and love from SC :)

So adorable Becky! I've finished this design too and never done anything with it. Now I'm inspired :)
I know just what you mean...I haven't been commenting much either....just a few exceptions, such as now :) Hope to get back in the swing soon. But anyway, I'm glad you're blogging!

Oh Becky please never stop blogging and sharing your wonderful talents with us. I may not comment on every post due to time limits in my life and family but I visit your blog daily and read every post you make. Sometimes many times a day when I should be doing other things I can be found stalking your blog. You have graciously answered my email questions time and time again and offered such encouragement to me even when I know I am asking such newbie questions. And though I do not have a blog of my own I live through you vicariously. You are my biggest source of inspiration.
Thank you for sharing with us all and I know I speak for all of blogland.
Peace,
Emilee

Your pillow is gorgeous. I can't get over how beautiful your finishing techniques/skills are.

DonnaTN said...

It is a beautiful little pin pillow and I love the cool basket!

Berit said...

Love it! Cheerful yet restful!

I am feeling similarly. I love reading blogs and seeing the beautiful stitching, but I'm lacking both time and mojo for sitting at the computer lately!

Your friends will understand. :)

The basket is very unusual and will look fabulous filled with your stitching.

Happy New Year my friend!!

Wow...your Mother really found a treasure. I will look forward to seeing it heaping with goodies.

Lizzy said...

I love EEF and I have not seen this one... It's gorgeous Becky and I love your finish!!! Just Beautiful as always, Hun... and it will be so pretty gracing the lovely basket from your Mommma...

I do understand about blogging mojo and don't you worry about it at all, my dear... I lost mine for a long, long time... and finally managed a post at the New Year, and have been trying to visit blogs again and actually leave comments rather than lurking in the shadows... and I'm going to try to keep and up because I really love it... but sometimes the Spirit is just not there...

I hope you had a lovely Christmas Hun and wishing you much love and joy, good cheer and a warm hearth, blessings abounding and loads of peaceful stitching thyme in the New Year my dear...

Blessings and love always in stitches...
Lizzy

Cathy said...

Becky, what a wonderful basket! It's actually the bottom of a wedding basket. I have one that I've had for a little over 30 years. There's a top piece that goes to it with a domed lid. This will be great to fill up!
