Busy, Busy ~

Ernestine was over today helping celebrate March birthdays.

Son, grandson and brother all were born in the month of March.  (Me, too.)  Jake is getting so tall.  Hard to believe he is 14.  My family is very small so it is wonderful to get together.  

Not much creative has been going on, but I do have a few finishes to share.  This is the Anna B sampler by Pineberry Lane.  I changed it to the Julia A. sampler.  Julia was the hostess with the mostest who I just visited in South Carolina.  

Her maiden initial is A and she would have been 10 in 1957 so I just subtracted 100 years.

Sweet little needlebook, a freebie Rebekah L. Smith pattern in the December 2014 issue of Early American Life.  I reduced the size of the pattern and added a little bone button closure.  Closed, it measures about 4 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Inside, a needle flap and open heart pocket.

Finally pulled the last loops on Pearl and Earl a couple weeks ago and have not even had the time to steam it or pull any other loops.

I have been crazy busy making silverplate jewelry.  Melissa and I vended at a hook in yesterday (more on that in another post) and I also delivered jewelry that will be at a rug camp store in Ligonier, PA, in a few weeks.  We are also vending at two more hook ins and From Our Hands Creative ~ all in the next 4 weeks.  One of the hook ins involves two days (due to travel) and throw in a 4 day rug camp I am attending (yippee) and I just may be trying to do too much ~ but I am loving every minute (well, almost) of it.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
