STITCHES & TIME

I thought I would share a few of the "stitches" I have on the wall of my hall leading to the bed and bath rooms. This is a pretty short wall so what started out as a small arrangement soon turned into a collage and now covers the whole wall.

This is one of the early pieces I stitched then aged it to look like it had been done a long time ago. It started out as an experiment but I soon found out that I liked the look of the aged pieces, they seemed to fit with my "decorating style" much better.

Most of my stitched pieces are of the alphabet, some are favorite hymns and quotes. However, a few are of special moments in my life. The outline of two hands over the mittens are of my daughter and me when she was 3 or 4 years old, and I was younger than I am today. The mittens were a gift to her from my mom so they have special meaning to both of us.

Just a few more stitched pieces.

These are a few of the pieces that have overflowed into the front hall, I can't seem to keep them under controll, as if I try.

This piece is one I found in an atiques store in Travers City, it is hand stitched and worth every penny, I love the thought it imparts.

O.K., I guess I had better show a few of the time pieces I collect, sence the name of this post is "Stitches & Time". Most of these came from places I visited and wanted to have something to rember the trip.

This is the clock that is at the foot of our clawfoot tub. I have clocks all over the house but can't seem to keep track of a watch, it's a good thing that cell phones have the time .

 

It is "time" close this post, so.....

From my porch to yours,  


Have a blessed week
