Some Mid-Summer Fall Stitching...

Hello, again! :o) 

It's time for another update, since I am really trying to make a commitment to post more regularly in this space. Today I want to introduce to you all my newest design - a cute, autumn themed pattern that just might inspire you to get a head start on your fall stitching! ;o)

As much as I love pumpkins, I wanted to do something a little different than usual for this design and here is the result: 'Hello Gourd-Geous' is a perfect mix of modern cross stitch and rustic charm and I think it would make a great addition to your seasonal decor this year! ;o) These decorative gourds were so much fun to stitch and the colour palette is definitely a new favourite. 

A little behind-the-scenes story about the design process... it was actually my husband that helped me come up with the wording. My original draft said 'have a gourd fall' and he took one look and said it wasn't catchy enough AT. ALL. He is usually right about these things, so I asked him what he'd suggest, instead... along with a few silly responses (of course - ha!) 'hello gourd-geous' sounded clever and witty, so that is how I settled on the phrase.

The
'Hello Gourd-Geous' PDF pattern is now available in my Etsy shop and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I will admit that I've had my finish on display for the past few weeks, even though it is still perhaps a little early... ;o) 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stitching, everyone!
