Having fun making some new stitched bits since the last set was well received (thank you), and I find myself addicted to the fun of pairing up fabrics and trims and other bits. I just keep starting more instead of continuing on individual pieces. The hand stitching and embellishing stage comes next. Eventually, they'll be finished. I tend to let my creativity take me where it wants, I'm just along for the ride it seems.
I wonder what those of you that purchased the last set are going to do with them. ??? Are you pinning them on the wall as is? Have you incorporated them in a larger project? I'd love to see.
And if you want to see some B.E.A.-utiful {said the way Jim Carrey did in "The Truman Show"}stitching, go see what my friend Rebecca has just posted. So very pretty. So very inspiring. I'm going to try to get my hands on one of those when they hit her etsy shop for sure. I'm still pining over the ones that I missed.
For those of you waiting on the wallpaper, I appreciate your patience, I'm still waiting for delivery of shipping materials. Soon...












What a fantastic way to play with scraps and to cultivate ideas! Thanks Pam - you continue to inspire. Hugs, Char

I keep missing your original art that you sold in your shop. Any idea when you may be listing more of those canvases or paper art?
Lori
P.S. I am so excited to be taking both of your classes at Silverr Bella.

For now, Pam, your beautiful stitched bit is on my bedside table - something nice to look at for when I come home from work to change my clothes, or before I go to bed. I'll be putting it up on my inspiration board soon, for beautiful inspiration - to inspire me to start stitching myself. Later, I will probably put it in a little vintage frame and hang it up.

I can't sew for nuts. I really admire people who can and especially people who enjoy it! I so need a hobby that isn't my work. : )

you are making my fingers itch...these are just such sweet little projects. Now that the new TV season is starting perhaps i will put together a stitching basket to keep my fingers busy and out of the snacks!

Pam, these are really quite delightful, each and every one. Keep them coming!

Pam, I'm sitting in a seedy motel room in Calgary Alberta right now on a road trip to Prince Edward Island (Canada) where I will live for at least 6 months (and hopefully forever). I'm so looking forward to getting back on the road soon so that I can get back to work on my own sampler. You've been inspiring me for so long and I simply adore your lovely samplers! Since my husband is driving I have my hand's free to work on little projects and stitching is the perfect road trip entertainment! Thanks so much for the inspiration once again and please do continue to share you beautiful work!

I like the fabric matchups! :) You've inspired me to do the same.

I love the little tattered scraps with stitching! They really get my mind thinking about all the fun things that could be done with them. Fabulous!

Hi Pam, I was just thinking about you yesterday, and then I got your flickr comment!
Anyway, I've been wanting to ask you whether you'd be willing to do a "custom" wallpaper packet for me? Now that I finally have my little girl, I'm in desperate need for pinks and purples and girly colors, and I realize that I have almost none in my stash! I'm not even having luck finding good scrapbook papers in those colors lately.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested to do, let me know how much, and I can Paypal you.
By the way, I just adore the fabric bits and embroidery and stitching you've been doing-YUMMM!

Your colors are so beautiful, I love how you combine them. And your photography is so masterful, each picture looks like it could go right into a magazine!
