It's funny how doing a simple thing like stitching can bring so much peace, calm and happiness. I've always been a "busy" type person, having trouble shutting off my mind, sitting still and oh yes sleeping. I can't remember the last time I slept and entire night. It's been years. However, something as simple as a needle pulling thread seems to make me feel so relaxed.
This is my latest pattern that I just finished, like literally 10 minutes ago. It's called "Roses for Laura Stitchery." It measures 13"x17". It's really fun to do and anyone can make it. You even get to use colored pencils and do a little coloring. Remember how fun it was to color? That is always relaxing. The pattern is available on my site if you'd like to give it a whirl. Busy hands can lead to a happy heart and to something pretty for your little French Cottage.
Oh, Princess Chloe Pudd'in Pie is doing much better. Thanks for all the well wishes for my baby.

I know what you mean about stiching makes you calm...I love cross stitching and that makes me very calm too.
Your new creation is lovely, I love the soft muted colours, and that's just so pretty!
Have a great week!

Love this new pattern, will have to check out your site.
So pleased Chloe is doing better, never good to worry about our furry babies.
Shell, so pretty! You used colored pencils? Are they laundry proof ones? So many new ideas on the market these days...

Oh my,
So much to catch up on. I am glad the Princess Chloe is doing better. I love your ten things (I too snort, much to the amusement of co-workers), and we all know we are part of the Dorkwads Unite Society (you know who you are). I love the direction your art is taking, I direct people to you every chance I get.
Have a beautiful blessed day,
Theresa @ Cottage Violets
P.S. Squeeze Chunky bunny and the Princess for me,too.
