Needlepointy

I don’t quite know what it is…

oh Cath.  Cath Kidston!

…but combine the general cuteness of all things Cath Kidston--

…the fabric, the yarn…

@ Quietly Stitching: Cath Kidston inspired blanket

…the florals…

…all the household goodies…

colorful cottage style by Cath Kidston

…and I’m a complete goner!

Then, you combine all that with needlework--

…and I’m in absolute heaven!

Couldn’t help but snatch up this fabulous needlework book and get to work!

Tied up in all the rest of my obsessions above noted, I love England.  All of it.  And I really love the design of the Union Jack.  I’m so very grateful that I’m an American girl through and through—but a couple hundred years ago, this was the flag of my people (without the adorable flowers, of course!).  And it has always had a place in my heart, as well…

…so I chose this beauty for my first project.

And then, I found I just couldn’t stop!

Happily, included in the book was a smaller version.  In a brighter color scheme.  What’s a girl to do?!

Just the feel of the lovely wool yarn ask I worked with my hands was a joy—now to just figure out what these sweet canvas pieces will be…..

…I’m quite sure they’ll let me know!

See you soon!
