Precious Moments Cross Stitch

Recently I came across some Precious Moments Cross Stitch Books.....a stack of them. They were designed by Gloria and Pat and most of them are first editions and first printings. Check out these lovelies.

Tell it to Jesus First Edition

Each book except one, has a number of patterns.

Clowns, First Edition

Most of the books are First Edition or First Printing.

Birthday Wishes, First Printing

All are Precious Moments and look amazing.

Autumn's Praise, First Printing

The cross stitch charts can be used for needlepoint as well as cross stitch.

Deer Friends, First Printing

All the books are in excellent condition.

Kindness

Blessed Are Those Who Serve Our Country, First Printing

This is my personal favorite. I love a guy and gal in uniform.
There's more Precious Moments books in the Pattern Haus shop.

Summer Handwork for Road Tripping

It's not summer yet but the heat makes you think twice. Temps around these parts are 98 degrees in the shade and over 100 with the heat index (heat + humidity =fried eggs on the sidewalk). It's too hot to be in the garden past 7 AM.....the pools feel like bathtubs.....think I will stay indoors until it is just a little cooler. Here's a couple of things to pass the time away while cooling off.

Chorus Line Crewel Stitchery Kit by Monarch Horizons

Persian in Roses Counted Cross Stitch by Dimensions.

Both kit are complete and unused....ready to go. Small enough to take along while traveling.
Stay cool, y'all. Remember to wear sunscreen when out in the sun and drink plenty of fluids.

Cross Stitch Care Bear Cousins And Merry-Mouse

I didn't know. Really, I didn't know....Know what? I didn't know that Care Bears had cousins. Caught me completely off guard.

Care Bear Cousins Cross Stitch Pattern Book $8

Each cousin is so cute!

A cousin could be the center of attention on a baby blanket or a picture on the nursery wall.

NFL Huddles Needlework Kits

No matter how much a person loves to create something beautiful with his or her own hands there are some parts of the process that are more fun than others. Some like looking at patterns and dreaming of what to make. Others drape themselves in luscious fabric and have pain when attempting to cut it. Still others like the actual work but hate the finish...the hand work, the hems or buttons. (I've been at all of these places at some time or another and that's why I have UFO's). Then there are others who like a put together kit...no hunting the right color threads, no trying to decide the right thread count Aida cloth, no fuss, just get down to stitching.

With the Get-Down-to-Work folks in mind I found these cute football kits. These are NFL Huddles Needlework Counted Cross Stitch kits made by the Nomis Yarn Company.
