Plans for embroidery

I don't think I'd much enjoy darning, even though I've got pretty much everything I need to do it.

What I do like is this darning bag - as if the woman who owned it didn't have enough to do, she went and made herself a little bag to keep her darning in.

I like embroidery, too, and I haven't had much time to work on it lately, it seems. It's not for lack of projects. Those stamped towels and pillowcases and dresser scarves - pretty easy to find, always cheap, always impossible to resist. I should try to get this little lamb done by Easter.

Tiny stamped doll clothes. The stitching that is done on them is pretty rough - probably a beginner's project.

I've been wanting to start these for a long time - they're huck towels, and the design is woven rather than stitched.



And this dresser scarf is pretty cute just as it is, because it's stamped in color. As I've been posting this, my kids have been discussing the snowstorm we're supposed to get next week (noooooooooo) and how many snow days they think they'll get. My daughter predicts three. Three! If they get even one, I'm taking my embroidery and barricading myself in my room.

I love all of these things. I can't resist a stamped design when I see it. I have more than I will ever have time to do. I figure when I'm old and don't have to work or take care of kids I will have something to do. Ha! I really like the little lamb and the darning bag is so sweet.

A darning bag...I think I need one too (I have everything that should go in it too). Lovely designs. Enjoy your weekend!

I love vintage embroidery. It has been hard to find by me, however I do have a small table runner I'm going to start later today. I can't wait.

I love the little doll dress. I've never seen that pattern before. It's quite wonderful, and is inspiring me a bit. I've been thinking dolls and cross stitch a lot lately, so this has been quite timely for me to see. Thank you!
