Me in my mothers arms, my dad, and my brother Jim. Stitched on 40 ct Vintage Wood Smoke linen.

Be My Valentine by With Thy Needle and Thread



Here they all are tucked away in their nice little box..

Thread holder: this wasn't part of the pattern book but I wanted one.

The stitched pincushion. I stitched it on 35 Ct Abecaderian  linen using DMC. I
found the beautiful chenille trim here.Victorian Motto Sampler Blog


I found the music print in the scrapbooking section



This is the box i used. It calls for a Whitman 3 oz chocolate heart box but couldn't find one yet and it fit in here perfectly.

Ribbon scarf

Decided to take a break from stitching and do a little crocheting. I fell in love with Red Heart Sachay yarn and these ribbon scarves. I've found several different ways to make them. This one I used the 10 ct slip stitch gather.
