Many of you have appreciated my first Christmas pouch ...

HERE

Your dream has come true my dear stitching friends and today,

I am happy to present this lovely pouch ...

inspired by a little pioneer girl called Laura Ingalls

******

This pattern is available in my Etsy Shop

HERE

Happy stitching my dearest friends !!! Thanks for visiting ...

Little House in the Big Woods is one of my favourite books in the whole series.

I love the fact that Laura describes the daily routine

and many things that were part

of her life as a pioneer girl.

I have learned a lot of things and

I have already read it at least four or five times.

***********

(The completed pouch is sold, thanks)

(I have sewn a little pouch  but for those of you

who fear sewing, the size is perfect for a little pillow !)

Enjoy stitching !!!

... from the thread on which it hung from the sky

and give it to her."

Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie

*********

Maybe some of you will stitch this pattern to pay tribute

to their father since it is about a father and his daughter.

My father was in my mind while I was stitching this design ...

he passed away almost 12years ago ...

“Everything from the little house was in the wagon

except the beds and tables and chairs.

They did not need to take these, because Pa could always make new ones.”

Happy Stitching my friends !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" Ma asked if they were sure the stockings were empty.

They put their arms down inside them to make sure.

And in the very toe of each stocking was a shining bright, new penny!

They had never even thought of such a thing as having a penny.

Think of having a cup and a cake and a stick of candy and a penny.

There had never been such a Christmas." ~ Little House on the Prairie

My love for the American Prim' Style keeps growing ...

This little pillow was inspired to me by a collection of vintage labels:

it is very simple but it would look great in any prim' home !!!

Happy creative week !!!

As Laura matures, she concludes in On the Shores of Silver Lake that

 “Every Christmas is better than the Christmas before…

I guess it must be because I am growing up.” 

When Carrie asks her in These Happy Golden Years 

“Oh Laura!…Isn’t this the nicest Christmas!

Do Christmases get better all the time?”

Laura answers confidently “Yes, …They do.”

and everything was snug and cosy.

This sentence is an extract from the book "Little House in the Big Woods".

Laura tells her readers about the fact that

she enjoyed very much playing with her sister Mary in the attic of their log cabin ...

It reminded me of my grandparents'attic so I could not resist and created that sweet little pattern ...

Thanks for visiting !!!

Here is a simple and fast to stitch pattern 

I called it "Pa and Ma".

Laura called her parents "Pa and Ma" because at that time

children did not call their parents "Dad and Mom".

I imagined this pattern to celebrate Caroline and Charles Ingalls's love ...

and also to celebrate Valentine's day !

Caroline Ingalls, born Caroline Lake Quiner 

(December 12, 1839 – April 20, 1924)

was the mother of Laura Ingalls Wilder,

I imagined that she could have stitched

this little sampler when she was 10 years old ...

Thanks for visiting !!!

there was a little girl ...

*****  

I am proud to share my latest design with all of  you.

As you know, I started creating charts inspired by Laura Ingalls

and I am planning to develop this beautiful theme all year round ...

Since Laura was a writer, I decided to pay tribute to her as an author

that's the reason why my stitchery is in the form of a book

(I mean, 2 pages facing, a cover and a sweet little bookmark)

While working on this design I thought that it could be a nice idea

to decorate a daughter's or granddaughter's room with this lovely set ...

*****  

*****

At the moment, I am reading "Laura Ingalls in the Big Woods"

and each sentence is a precious source of inspiration ...

The word "attic" has a very special meaning since it reminds me of my beloved grandparents

who lived in Burgondy and who took care of me 

when I was a little girl ...

*****

Sold, thank you !

HAPPY STITCHING my dear friends !!!

Have a great week !!!
