A Pick A Stitch Christmas!

so..It has been a very long time since I last wrote a post......I know a little belated but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas...want to thank everyone for making Pick A Stitch's first Christmas season a huge success...as you can see from the pictures...we had all the cousins decked out in some holiday corduroy dresses this year..those are my four cousins and my two..and our 94 year old grandma "mia"...this was the night before Santa came..

the beginning of the very long photos shoot!

The I have had enough Christmas nap..pap pap and lili in her new dora pajamas..fell asleep to a foot ball game of all things...

The kids and I were in PA a little longer than expected this year...I was snooping around and came across this hand embroidered baby quilt my mom's aunt had embroidered for my brother(that makes it 33 years old)..my pappy was Harry and his twin brother was Harold..they married Edna and Edith!! Edith made the blanket..nine squares in all with different animals embroidered on each..and still in great condition..I tried snagging it but mom wouldn't let me!

the chickens on the farm

and had to include the two little ones playing on it...

Something new I am working on for Pick A Stitch..I have found these great vintage picture frames-they are made from old doors and floorboards and put together for frames and other cool stuff...I am using them to hand embroider a type of baby announcement for the nursery..this is an example of what it will look like..you can choose the fabric or mail me some that matches the nursery or room you are putting it in...

Keep your eyes out for some new stuff coming for spring...a little picot for the babies and some fun bright colors for the toddlers..
