♥ Be True in Heart ♥

That's what this charming, sampler says...no I didn't make it but ordered it from ebay for only $6.00 and free shipping:) Such a nice lady too and her ebay id is Sandiscraps if you want to take a peek. I think she did a great job on the sampler and the frame, I know you probably wonder why I'd buy something I could make but when I found it I just had to have it and I really can't do the small stitching anymore, just can't see to do it although I am thinking of trying again. Usually all my frames are painted black but I think I'll leave this one alone it makes a nice accent piece and it's really not that red just from the light. Here is a closer look...it's done in a dark red and black:)
I finally found the new Country Sampler not at Walmart, still didn't have them in, but at JoAnn's, I really didn't think they would have it either but went in to get a skein of DMC 221, I still have to finish the little bunny I have started. I was surprised and thrilled to finally see it and have one in my hands:) I was good all the way home and didn't take a peek at it in the car actually I didn't get a chance to look until today what with the super bowl party and wonderful game, that is the first time that has ever happened to me.lol



I loved this picture of Linda's kitchen, loved it all BTW, and I'm thinking on taking the doors off of my cabinet and doing something like hers:) Will see if that happens, I know it won't be tomorrow because I'll have Samantha but maybe Wednesday!
Hey, maybe that's what I'll be working on!
Have a wonderful, cozy evening...more snow is coming our way actually I welcome it to make at least looking outside pretty again. Right now it's just patches of snow and ice..

  2. That's a cute stitchery! Sometimes it's just fun to buy from someone else even if you know you can do it yourself! I like the red frame, by the way!

    I have looked and looked at both Linda and Earlene's homes! I love them both and everytime I sit down to eat or snack, I have my magazine next to me. It seems like I see something new everytime I look!

  3. What a cute sampler and I love the red frame. As goes for the kitchen cupboards... I have been wanting to do something with mine, but I think I would have to leave my doors on because of the mess behind them (lol). Can't wait to see pictures if that is what you decide on.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

  10. Hello Rondell- I probably will not be able to see you at the salon. My accountant app. is at 1.00 in Caste Village so I will have to be gone by 12.30. Bummer. If I get done early I will try and stop. Are you getting color or just a haircut? I wanted to show you were my friends shop is on Regis Avenue-Treasure in Thyme. I think you would like it and it is only a few minutes from Renee's.

  11. Hi Rondell,
    The stitchery you got from eBay is very cute. Love the red frame.
    I have one set of cabinets that don't have doors...I keep cookbooks and some decorative items on them.

  16. What a sweet little sampler! I love it!

    Our Walmart no longer carries embroidery floss. I hate that! I have to travel 20 miles to buy it now!

    I have looked at Lind's home over and over. I never tire of looking!

  18. Hi Rondell,
    The little stitchery is adorable. I've never done cross stitch before... it looks hard trying to keep it all lined up and perfect.
    It is darling and I would buy one too! :)
    So glad you finally got yourself a copy of CS. I enjoy looking through them over and over again.
    Have a great day today! Blessings~ Birgit

  24. Yes, that is such a cute sampler. I love the minis ~ they add such a nice little touch to every little corner.

    I laughed when I read your comment about the cabinets. Every time I'm in the kitchen now, I think about taking off a couple of doors.

    Smiles,
