MORE... on MY BIG TOE

 Don't forget that you can click on these images and enlarge them greatly.

We have many other hand made stitching accessories from MY BIG TOE, in addition to a plethora of counted thread patterns from her very creative mind. She has some very funny pieces, in addition to her lovely religious pieces. Due to the size of some of her very lovely  and VERY LARGE samplers, they had to stay home to keep the shipping costs down. To satisfy our curiosities, she sent a bound notebook with pictures of all of her pieces and we would be pleased to order them for you.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

Every time I get new yarn, I proclaim it is the most beautiful yarn that we have ever received. 




I'll try to qualify this purchase in a different manner.

This is the most beautiful silk and wool we have ever received!

ARTISTS COLLECTION TRUNK SHOW


 The AC trunk show will be here all month but you really need to get here soon because the pieces are just scooting out of here! It is a large show; it's so large that I knew I couldn't handle standing up all day to hang it, so I called in some slave labor, and David came in to do it. I told him that there were lots and to hang them tightly. David is quite literal, and they are indeed overlapped. Now that some are gone, I will be able to do a bit of spreading out and will later take some more pictures. In the interim, here are some that can be seen in entirety:
Since Nativity sets are my passion, I'll start there. Above is the Holy Family from Heartstrings, each piece having a stitch guide. Next are the men who were blessed to have a star to guide them to Bethlehem, for you know that they never would have stopped to ask for directions.
Lastly are some other beloved guests who witnessed the great event.
 
 This section of the display has ornaments featuring our best friends:
Don't forget that you can click on these for a better view. I'll spread some more out and take some more pictures for you tomorrow afternoon. I'm headed down to Wrentham tomorrow morning to meet one of my eBay consignors and to do some outlet shopping.
