Two New Tabs - George is on the wall!

Created By My Colonial Home
Good afternoon on this AGAIN hot and humid day.
I turned off the air this morning but it only stayed off for a couple hours...the air coming in the windows was horrible so back on it went.  I was hoping for a reprieve today but guess not.
So I'm doing the best thing on a hot day...posting,
reading blogs and sewing on an order.

I POSTED THREE NEW TABS at the top of my blog.

COUNTRY FRECKLES...a fantastic Prim/Colonial shop in Wisconsin

ENJOY!

I finally got my GEORGE picture up on a wall - not where it was
intended to go but will do for now - I actually like it here now
But in time it will go over the fireplace

Oh I have to say a huge THANK YOU to MAURINE from Stitchen House of Prims: http://stitchinsprims.blogspot.com/
She sent me a wonderful thank you package for some books I sent her...naturally I got the best of the bargain!
I now have one of her wonderful hand made bonnets - it's a wonderful rich Brown and those two Herb bags are awesome sizes - the Herbs are cross-stitched on.

And last for today my Penny Runner I'm partially finished with.
When we traveled last week it gave me something to do in the car.

I just have to back it now and it's good to go.

And a huge thank you for those who participated in my sale
It was more than a success...there are only a few items left.
I'll keep them up in the tab for a bit more but then will close it.
Maybe later I will have more things to sell when I unpack boxes.

Guess that's all I have for now 
Karen

    Karen.....George looks good there.
    Love your new bonnet and herb bags.
    And your penny rug is so great. Love the colors you chose. I am thinking of hooking one about that size. Finally got my first rug done, I posted a pic today.

    Love your George!! I have my eye on one, but no clue where I would put it at this point - it's pretty large, and we have little wall space here (mostly windows!) I'm gonna keep thinking tho!! Your new penny is awesome - and HUGE!! Yikes....that would have taken me a lifetime to do! Gorgeous colors! Hot and humid there? We are cool and breezy and no hint of humidity today...the air almost has a feel of fall to it. Hope it blows your way....Have a great week! Off to check your new tabs. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

    I think your George photo looks great there, too! How nice of Maurine to send you such lovely gifts! Love them!
    I especially love your penny runner -- the colors are just beautiful. I so wish I was able to stitch while in the car, but it makes me dizzy and nauseous to do anything other than look out the window. It seems like such a perfect opportunity to get things done. Can't read anything either, so I just sit.....
    You do great work! Have a good evening....

    Thanks for sharing your photos!

    Hey Karen!! I got your email...be getting back to you and hopefully this time we'll connect!!
    Love that George Washington print, George & Abe are favorites of mine. I made a set of cupboard prints of them that I have together on a wall in my living room...they just say colonial!
    You're penny rug is great, wish I could stitch in the car but I'd get sick! I'll talk to you later ~Kriss~

    Karen, I love George where you have put him. Love the bonnets, too. Maureen is so sweet. I'm off to check out the links you posted. It cooled off a little here, I'm hoping it did for you as well. Love your penny rug, the colors are great.
    hugs,

    That Penny rug is awesome! Question: Is that felt or what? Just curious!

    Hi Karen,
    I finally had a minute to check out the Country Freckles tab you put on. I have to say I love the story about you looking at your own penny rug and thinking the stitching isn't that great. That is too funny! What a great story and what an amazing store. And I love the name, too!
    I think George look great over your prim cupboard. :)
    And your penny rug made me drool on my keyboard a little...
    Have a great day!

    I just love the penny table runner. All the colors in it allow the runner to go in any room. :)
