I have four of these vintage "cutter" blocks
that I bought (rescued ) a while ago;
and I have decided to use them as a
backing for my new slow stitch project...
"My Little House"....
thus giving them a new life and purpose
instead of the junkyard!!!
[I was inspired by Karen at "Railway Cottage Studio"
on YouTube...visit her to see amazing hand
slow stitching projects....]
I set up the "initial" background on Friday
deciding to use my brown bits and
pink-ey-mauves leftovers as
my color theme on this one...
Below is the final setting
for the background
with the house pinned in place
Basting the entire background
in place before adding anything...
I have pinned on my
proposed special bits--
in this case three little bunnies
(so darn cute!)--
and
my little house
with mauve/lilac-ey
doors and windows..
Today
I began stitching edges and the
three little "bunnikins",
deciding to add some little
bits of lace..

I am working in short spans of time
and just really stitching slowly...
and, as per usual this is what my
space looks like :
😅😆😂😃😄
Like a fabric bomb exploded...
👀💣💣💣💣👀
I have three big boxes and several
baggies full of little left over
pieces from making my fabric
books and decided to make some
little wall hangings with houses
as the main theme for all four...
This is a nice change after working on
getting my "Littles" ready to be bound and
the Jelly Roll Jumble and Posies-- all
of which are fairly big in scale...
I do enjoy working in this smaller style...
No fancy stitches just whip stitch,
running stitches, and maybe some small
seed stitches to come...
********************
Still hot and humid here, maybe
just a tad less steamy than yesterday...
Still and all feeling like 99 is not great!!!
{"Where O where..."
is that Canadian
Cold Front?????}
I hope if it is really still hot where you are,
you can find some relief in AC...
