anyone is interested in Mary Beale's Christmas wreaths or those wonderful sampler stockings, did you know she has a website and offers her work? https://www.marybeale.com/shop Most are b/w downloads, I'm not sure if all are. She is also on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/marydbeale/ where you can see some of the coloring pages.
The sought after Sampler Wreath is available with the Pocketbook Needlework 1999. Did not know that. Nor was I aware of the coloring page offers of the Book of Deliverance (also smaller coloring projects to turn into ornaments).
I never saw this Book of Common Prayer, LOVE that border.
What an ambitious but glorious sampler is this Days of Advent project. The photo is from Pinterest, redirect was not a valid site so I don't know who to credit. Margaret from Days of a Sampler Lover stitched this years ago. Whenever I see a project of this layout including the Hawk series, I would prefer stitching each section individually. These are about 4.5" x 5.5" so a little too large as ornaments, but each is so lovely I would like them to be showcased rather than grouped. But that's me. If you'd like to see this project in book form, visit http://www.stitchershideaway.com/html/ks_2.html and scroll down. Stunning.
Thought I would mention this.... just in case!!
During the unsettled week when the new medication was playing with my brain, I did not see new blog posts, IG updates, nor was I replying. Sorry. Except for two readers, the rest (blog) are no-reply but I assume we are to respond to IG comments. I've left many for others and only get a response from a few which is perfectly OK with me, I don't expect it. I hope to catch up soon!
Today is my final Varithena treatment. I've received many over the years, two weeks ago was the first time I had terrible pain. If I had tears, they would have been rolling. Thank goodness it was only for several minutes.
Enjoy the last fricking day of November. The only good thing is we're getting closer to summer.

Best wishes for the last treatment, they are stinkers I hear. That wreath sampler is absolutely beautiful and I agree that the Advent Calendar, to my eyes, is too busy. Way beyond my skill level too!
Hope today's treatment is pain-free!
Always love to see your MB sampler wreath, and the other designs you showed are awesome - never seen them before. Will put a sticky note tab on appropriate issue of Pocketbook Needlework for someday......
Marly: Thank-you for the links, I did not know she had a site, see how up in the times I am, it must be my old age giggles.
I totally love the Wreath.
I am so sorry you had so much pain, I still have you in my daily prayers.
Hugs to you and your family.

Schnikes...!! All of those are a HECK of a lot a stitching....EEEEKKK!!! It made me laugh to look at that one with all the individual sections... I have a pattern I purchased a year (or two??) ago with maybe 5 or 6 relatively simple designs....When finished they go in a specially made tote/box. I'm intimidated by that LOL.... I don't even want to know how much that treatment must hurt. ~Robin~ (PS...I LOVE your header photo...forgot to say that last time I think)
Days of Advent is an eye catcher for sure. Margaret sure stitched many beautiful samplers. Her Eye of the Sparrow was the first I had seen. I fell in love with it, but NO WAY! I am happy to see she is stitching once again.
I hope your treatment went well today.
Yesterday I was mowing the yard. Tonight we are under a winter storm watch. Welcome to Ohio ;-(
I just put up a wonderful round box I got from you several years ago. It has a button in the middle and I think it was a Mary Beale. Thanks for the info on her designs!
Thank you so much for that link to Mary Beale.
Take care!

Thank you for this link-beautiful designs.
Got a newsletter from Gazette 94 with free charts of the 12 Days of Christmas. Don't know how to link this for you-sorry.
Hope the treatment did help you.
Take care and stay save!

Have always loved your mail man piece. Have it in a book but it's too much for me to do.
Take care.........so sorry you're going through so much !
I, too, am looking forward to a bit warmer weather.

Thanks for the Mary Beale reminder! I loved getting her Pocketbook Needlework publication and was so sad when she stopped. I have them all! I also did not realize she is on Instagram (which I don't really go on much...but now I may HAVE to!).
