I'm a Gramma! (again!)


Here is Aidan and his new baby daughter Corinne Therese! 
She looks just like he did as a baby!

I can't believe my baby is a daddy! LOL!
 She is his first but my fourth grandchild. The other three belong to my oldest Chelsea and they are all girls!


And here are Chelsea's girls!


Hideko and Amy


And sweet little baby Mei!
 She broke her little leg when Hideko accidentally opened the basement door!

Happy stitching!

Dear friends,

I have really been enjoying the season and had an opportunity to go apple picking with my family.





This has resulted in delicious baked apple crisp, and numerous rounds of crock pot apple pie filling, which I have canned for my Thanksgiving apple pie! Next I will make some apple butter!


I cannot turn away fresh produce, so when my girlfriend offered me close to 20 pounds of fresh pears from her tree, the boiling water bath was on!


 I canned  8  jars of pears and 7  jars of pear butter!


 I have become obsessed with decorating for fall!
Here are some snaps of my dining room:



And my porch:


Happy Fall y'all!!

XOXO,
Annie

Bittersweet

Hello friends,

 Here is my new fall pattern Bittersweet!


I stitched mine on 32 ct. natural linen from Wichelt, 2 over 2.
I used a combination of sampler cottons from Weeks, Gentle Arts and Classic Colorworks.
The stitch count is 82w X 73h.

I hope you enjoy this quick little stitch!
Available through Hoffman Distributors.
