New Premade Finishing Blanks for Robin Pickens and Annie Beez Folkart

 Hi friends!

This month I've posted three new "Finishing Shortcut" to my Etsy shop. They're also available on my website to current clients. 

The first two were from Robin Pickens' Seasonal Courier Series: Blue Jay's Summer and Robin's Spring. I'm currently working on stitching the fall and winter models.

Both of these finishing options are available as premade wood blanks or premade wood easels. They measure 8 inches wide by 10 inches tall and will accomodate a 14/28 or 16/32 stitched piece. Custom sizes are also available. The fabric mat is from Robin Picken's "Thatched" line from Moda fabrics and is the actual fabric used in the models for the charts.

My newest Finishing Shortcut is for "American Sampler House" from Annie Beez Folkart. It was stitched beautifully by one of my clients and finished by me. The board is 7.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall and will accomodate a 14/28 or 16/32 stitch. I can also make it a custom if you want to stitch it on something larger or smaller. It is also available as a premade wood blank or a premade wood easel.

"Scrap"py Projects

 Hi friends!

Ever since I started offering premade wood items in my Etsy shop, I've had random sized scrap wood filling up a bin in my studio and it makes me nuts. It seems like such a waste to just throw it away, so little by little I've been making "scrap"py projects that includes paddles, hornbooks and slatted frames to cut down on some of the bulk.

I'm really enjoying firing up my scrollsaw and coming up with these finishing boards for my pieces. It allows me another creative outlet when I need to do something a little different. It also helps when I have those randomly sized stitched projects I don't know what to do with!

New *Spring Collection* Prim Finishing Boards

Happy Friday, friends!

I recently finished up my new "Spring Collection" finishing boards for my Etsy shop which required me to stitch a few spring smalls -- and those of you who know me best know that I really do NOT enjoy stitching spring, so it was a challenge. Although I must say, even with the pastel colors I'm super proud with how they turned out, AND that once again I didn't chop a finger off! I'm actually enjoying making different boards so much I've recently started using my scrap wood for OOAK boards for my Etsy shop!

The four colors I came up with for my Spring Colection are Petal Pink, Pale Yellow, Spring Green and Lilac. (https://www.etsy.com/shop/StarryNightsStudioCo)

New Series from Country Cottage Needleworks, Client Finishes and a Blast from the Past

Hey friends!

I've been very blessed to finish for Country Cottage Needleworks and Little House Needleworks. Diane and Nikki are two of the most amazing, talented women in the cross stitch community, and I pinch myself every time I see one of my finishes posted on anything that touches their name. It absolutely blows my mind.

I recently finished up the "Pastel Collection" series from Country Cottage Needleworks and Nikki has already released three of the patterns, with the third releasing just today.

I also finally got around to listing some note card sets I had packed when I moved from Connecticut. When I did a complete redo of my studio this month I found a box of them I had finished prior to the move and a bunch more that I just need to pack up. I used to mostly sell cards on Etsy so it was so weird to see these again. But it also makes me miss playing with paper.
