A finish for June!

I finished this during the long car rides on vacation. I really love those luscious silks from Crescent Colors. I am eagerly looking forward to doing the Summer sampler now!

Dance Recital 2007

Doesn't my baby look cute! She is quite the little dancer, sunburned shoulders and all!


Just to make darn sure life doesn't get too boring, Isabel has dance pictures, dress rehearsal and her dance recital all this week, Lucas has soccer conditioning at 7:30 in the morning and started his new full time job, and Aidan has basketbal camp and weight lifting. Oh yeah, was I going to stitch something? Ha! Ha!

I am back and feeling refreshed!!

Beautiful Isle of Palms, South Carolina! This is where we stayed, right on my beloved ocean! Wow! I loved it!


Some gorgeous Charleston architecture!

My beautiful girls shopping in Charleston. We discovered many secret gardens like this one they are standing in front of, hidden by beautiful wrought iron gates. Wow! Charleston just has so much charm! I really loved it! p.s.~can you see little Isabel grimacing from the horrible sunburn she got at the beach! Poor thing!

May Baskets finished!

Still no pdf. but at least a finished sampler to show! Now I'm off on vacation, see you in a couple of weeks!

PDF update~not good!

Well, I am still having extreme trouble getting my pdf files to work! I'm SO bummed out! Now May is over, and May Baskets is still unavailable! I have tried very hard, spent hours, and it still isn't working to my satisfaction. And on top of that, my regular life has just taken over. My kids have finals, a graduation, dance recital, field trips, well, you know the score. On top of that, I am leaving for vacation with my family on the 3rd. So no pdf will be available for some time. If you would like a free copy of my pattern send a self addressed stamped envelope to:

Annie Beez Folk Art

Here is the link for the pdf. file for May Baskets Enjoy!

Surprises in store!!

All week I have been learning how to convert files into pdf. format, so I will be able to share some of my designs with you! I'm so excited about this! I have 2 new freebie patterns to share. The first one is called "May Baskets". It is a little spring design in beautiful cottage-y colors.
Here is a preview, though I won't have the file ready to download until sometime tomorrow.
The second one is a patriotic design called "Uncle Sam rides a Crow." I don't have a preview yet, but stay tuned!!!
