This site also has some great free "retro" embroidery patterns" that you can copy and transfer to towels, burp cloths, etc.

This link is for freebie patterns for babies & mommies (been discussing this with Katie this morning)...

cross stitch for my kitchen
With 2 sons getting married in the next 15 months, another son thinking about it, and putting goodies in Amy's hope chest.  I've got lots to keep me busy!

I just found this blog hop on "My Simple Country Living" and thought I would join in...

I love to see what others are doing and to get ideas for cooking, crafts & gardening.  This should be fun!

    Hi Donna,
    Welcome to the HOP! I am so glad you joined in and I am looking forward to your posts. I love your "handmade" kitchen cross stitch picture. I inherited a few old tea towels and I want to make my own using old designs I remember from childhood like the old China and Silver ones My Grandma used to make. Happy New Year!

    My sister got a Kindle for Christmas and is wanting a case for it. I told her you got an inexpensive one. Looked up your sight on Black Friday and you didn't really say where you got the padded zip up pencil case for school supplies that worked great for your Kindle. Do you remember what store you bought it at?
    Thank you!
