first piece for my etsy shop


It will be awhile before the Pin & Purl Etsy shop is up and running; I want to have a good number of pieces to put up first. But isn't it a great feeling to finish the First One? To check the first thing off the list, take the first step, make it through the first day? It's a motivating milestone. 
I embroidered this little hoop over the course of a few evenings this week, in between lullabies and laundry loads. Simple and sweet. 

Two of my dearest friends had wonderful news to share with me this weekend, and I am glowing with happiness for them both. A mamma, and a bride, to be. Sigh. It's enough to chase the February blahs far away.

  3. Hello, hello! Well, hurrah for all of us Ontario residents getting in touch. I live near Long Point at the moment, in Southwestern Ontario, so not that terribly far from Uxbridge, I don't think. I'm moving next month to an old church with a yard, and I hope to start with chickens and a big vegetable garden. But my dream is to have a minimum of 10 acres somewhere, and have some goats, a horse or two, some sheep ...

    I love the idea of a convoy to Cold Antler some time, or even a get together here in Ontario sometime for mutual inspiration.

    My email is karen dot rickers at the mail that is 'g'. (I dunno, is it very, very bad to put your email publicly on a blog? I haven't starting blogging yet!)
