Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
I have had a very successful Hermits Weekend, I hope everyone else taking part last weekend had a good weekend too. Here is my lavender cushion finished. It is stuffed with lavender, not the type of lavender shown in the photo but English lavender which has by the far the loveliest scent and retains it when its has been dried.
It is backed with a piece of Liberty fabric, chosen because it is a fine soft fabric and is nice to handle. My sister takes a small lavender pillow with her when travelling and this new one will be waiting for her to collect when she visits me next month.
Today was good light for photographing and at last I took some photos of my October page for my Journal, yes I am running late with this. For this one I have a Pulled thread embroidery piece and the beetle has been appliqued
I am very pleased with my weekends stitching, two other small items finished cannot be shown at this time however I will share them later. The first goes out in the post this week.
It is now time for me to make a new list of Things to stitch.

The pulled work and beetle are marvelous. Yes, I'd say you and a very productive weekend!
Oh my! What a beautiful, beautiful treasure you have made your sister. I love so many of the Liberty fabrics.
You made such a lovely little pillow for your sister. The lace trimming is pretty and I really like that fabric. Never heard of Liberty fabrics. Your October page is amazing. The pulled embroidery piece is so intricate and very cool! Of course I love your beetles too...still admire mine :D

Stunning finishes Lee. Love the delicate lace trimming. The pulled embroidery and the beetle compliment each other so well.
Oh, that pillow is just adorable, Lee--love the idea of filling it with lavender, too. And another beautiful page for your journal--I hope you'll show a recap of each month at the end of the year!
Your stitching is perfection. I adore the thought of traveling with a small lavender pillow as lavender is so relaxing. I love Liberty fabric and how soft and luxurious it is. Creative Stitching Bliss...
Your lavender pillow/sachet is gorgeous! Beautifully stitched and finely finished. Swoon!
Hi Lee.
I "stumbled" upon your blog thanks to our mutual friend, Annette. What a wonderful surprise I found when I saw that you had made a pillow out of part of one of my designs. I am so flattered that you like the design, and I love what you did with it.
I'd love for you to send me some photos of your completed WMN projects so I can show them on my blog.
Looking forward to meeting you in person in March. Wish we could figure a way to get Annette there also.
Well done, congratulations!
Wonderful October page! Lovely white flower you made!The beetle is also fantastic.
Great work Lee.
Have nice stitching week, Evelyne
