In a chocolate coma...

not quite,

 but,

I will be 

when I get through 

both layers of chocolates!

Come on,

 don't let me eat chocolates by myself...

go on out

 and buy yourself

 a 12 oz box of Whitman's. 

 

The Whitman's Sampler,

a collection of assorted chocolates...

 

And while your sinking your teeth

 into the chocolatey nugget,

take a look at the lid of the box... 

 

A basket of flowers, the bluebirds in the corners,

&

the wavy cross stitched border...

and yes,

they are done in tiny little cross stitches!

 

And

when you've consumed the whole box of chocolates,

DO NOT,

I repeat,

DO NOT THROW THE BOX AWAY.

Yes,

we are going to

repurpose the box

into another stitching ditty!

 Watch for a future 

cross stitch design

 using the empty box...

will keep you posted.

It's going to be special...

  The idea is in it's early stages,

 just some scribbles in the sketch pad.

Coming soon!

 

SAMPLER CHARM BROOCHES...

These are so small & sweet!

They feature tiny little photo pendants (1/2" - less then an inch)

 of antique samplers.

Tiny little charms and natural beads

are carefully attached 

and all hang

from a brooch

 that measures less then 2" across. 

  They make such a cute clanging noise 

when you wear them...

reminds me of my charm bracelet days! 

 I'm in the process of working on this collection. 

 Hoping to have 4 or 5 brooch choices to start with.

  More info on these to follow.  

Also,

 I now have stork charms,

which means,

more floss keeps will be coming!

Happy Thursday Everyone...

we are having a mix of rain/wet heavy snow today,
