My Handy Work
Hi Everyone, I have had a couple of quiet days ,visited my Sister Pauline who insisted I stay for dinner she cooked Roast leg of lamb with plenty of veg, my favorite meal it was Delicious and also went to see my friend Gwen. It was too cold to be outside today we had a low of -2 celius at 7am high of 11celius with very icy winds bbbrrrrr. Gwen, Brian (Gwens Husband)invited Pauline and Myself too lunch at the Club, after lunch we all played indoor carpet bowls, we all had a good day the team Pauline and Brian were in, were the winners of the day. 
This 1 I made for my daughter Carol.

Oh WOW! These are so beautiful. Do you ever sell them; I'm sure people would pay for work as beautiful as this.... I'm in awe of such workmanship.

p.s. That lamb sounds good.
Omigosh Jan, your embroidery work is absolutely amazing!! I've always admired people who can do that! That pillow is just so precious. The tablecloths and doilies are also gorgeous! Have a wonderful weekend my friend:-) xoxo
Oh I especially love the flower things.
And it's so interesting to have you be cold... when we are finally warrrrm. Isn't it grand, how both alike and different, different parts of this world are? :-)

And very pretty too Jan... wheres Gary's?
Now Jan that is what I call beautiful art, stitching the work done by lovely people.
How nice they look and what treasures they will be for your daughters always & forever.
My mother does embroidery too and I have several of her pieces and am so pleased to have them the work involved is huge.
love the one you saved from the garage sale.
keep warm see you again.

Jen, That's beautiful work!!! My attempts have never been as tidy as that.
What does the back look like? The back of my work was a forest of stray threads and huge knots!
Lovely work!!
Always enjoy your posts.
Dear Jan ~~ Really lovely - you are not just a pretty face. Glad you had a couple of nice meals at Paulines and then out with Gwen and Brian.
I am encouraged with Peter's comment - maybe he will like his lace doiley.
Thanks for your comments, the Teacher story was popular and glad you liked the jokes. Believe it or not I have been enjoying lots of chicken soup
that I made in thhe crockpot with giblets and vegies. Yummy.
Take care, my friend, Love, Merle.
Oh Jeanette - you saw my request! Thank you so much for indulging me! Your work is absolutely gorgeous...sigh..I would (a) love some of it in my collection and (b) wish I could stitch as well as that! I'm going to mention you on Patra's Place, so my stitching friends can pop in and admire your work too. Like me, they love to see what other people have done.
O my---oh MY!! These are all absolutely stunning! You did such a beautiful work of art on all of them. I especially fell in love with the pillow with goldielocks! Super, super job Jan!
What a talented lady you are Jen- your embroidery work is just beautiful. l can imagine how long these works would take to complete. The pillow with bears and Goldie in tow made me smile- what a cute wee project!
Thanks as always for stopping by- hubby and l are just taking it easy this weekend- blogging, reading and pottering around- the things we'd like to do more often-lol.
My sis says it's getting cold over there now- strange to think we're warmer- ;)
keep warm and bests to you and yours.xx
Goldilocks & the 3 bears are my favourite:)
What beautiful work you do. They are all so lovely. Especially the red roses. WOW!!

Hi Jan ~~ All your embroidery is beautiful, but I think the red roses wins my vote. Thanks for your message, glad you got a laugh from the post.
Take care, stay warm, Love, Merle.
Hi Mate.
Always knew you were smart and now I have seen the proof.
See you soon xoxo
Jeanette, these are absolutely gorgeous!!! You are so talented. I can't even thread a needle properly, let alone try to sew something like that!! The pillow is so cute, and the tablecloth and doilies are just beautiful!!! Take care and have a blessed week my friend.
Renae
Wow you are multi talented, my wife collects vintage embroider table cloth and she loved yours. Stay warm.
Bravo ! good work ! I especially love the little bears on the pillow ! just too cute !
We officially have summer but only 16° so I had to put the heating on ! can you imagine !!
OH!!!
I love these , Jan! You do beautiful work!!
I have done very little embroidery and never got good at it! I love the ones with the birds. Reminds me of the things my mom and aunts did when I was just very small! Pillow cases were very popular back in those days!
Junie
Nice work! Love the pillow!
Wow, Jeanette ... what amazing needlework. All of it is just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great week.
Take care, Meow
Beautiful! I wish I had such a talent. Love the goldilocks and bears and roses on the tablecloth! Do you tell jokes while your making them?
Stunning you are so talented - heirlooms for sure. I hope they are treasured by all
Hi Jeanette. Those are beautiful! I'm sure you invested a lot of time and effort in these magnificent creations. I love all of them especially Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They are so cute!
Congratulations for receiving the Rockin' Girl Blogger award from our dear friend Anni (Hootin' Anni). You really deserve it! Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers, stitch works and for sharing some laughter to everyone. Anni has been kind to share this award with me too and I feel very honoured.
Take care!
Just Beautiful.....you really do nice work.....isn't it fun to find these treasures....I use to work at a craft place and bought a lot of projects when they were marked down....I had so many, that I didn't get to, so I sold them at a garage sale, or gave to goodwill... now I wish I would have kept them.....that is such an unusal piece...have you ever thought of selling your items on etsy.....only costs 20 cents to put it up, and a very small % when you sell it.....
What glorious workmanship! I love the subtlety of the coloring in that first tablecloth. Well done!
