Stitching Away

I'm still working on re-stocking my Etsy shop.  My family has been keeping me pretty busy but I've managed to eek out a few things.

Like this:

red poppies

and this:

Pink Bloomers

and this one:

Yellow (with a bit of orange) poppies

One more:

Tattered Garden

I plan on re-making some of the one's that have sold, although they never come out quite the same.  I also have some ideas for new things, so I had better get back to work.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

More Embroidery

I have been working my poor fingers to the bone. Here are the latest fruits of my labor.

Orange Poppies

I kind of want to keep this one for myself

Midnight Garden

Soon I will have to find some time to enjoy summer vacation.

I hope, whatever season you are in, you are enjoying it.

Embroidery

Hi!

Black Cross

Red Cross

I posted a couple of new embroidery pieces in my Etsy shop today. They are both simple cross patterns. I know it's been done before, and I'm sure it will be done again, but it's a symbol I've been drawn too for some time.

I purchased this necklace when I was about 19 years old (ahem, some time ago). I wore it almost every day for years. I still wear it, just not as much.
Most people recognize it to be a Swiss Cross, although the symbol has been around much longer than that, also the Swiss Cross is white with a red background, not red or black.


Here is a link to what Wikipedia has to say about the cross.

This month I'm trying to make my Etsy shop a priority as I've been quite neglectful, so... off I go to make more stuff.

Happy Wednesday!

What's In A Name

I made a new banner with a phonetic spelling of my blog name (one for my Etsy too) I also made a picture for the link on my side bar that takes you to the definition for the word Sidereal, there is even a neat little speaker to click for the pronunciation. I have been meaning to do this for some time but just kept putting it off until a dear blog friend, Jaime sent me an e-mail telling me she had looked it up in the dictionary, and it reminded me to get it done. She also had a good tip to remember the how it's pronounced, it sounds like ethereal. Thanks Jaime =)
I had a hard time choosing a name, second guessing, finding one I like, having it be taken bla bla bla, anyway I found the word Sidereal in the dictionary and liked it. I realized at the time it might not be the most memorable, and that most people (unless your a astronomy buff) wouldn't know what it meant but I went with it anyway, I've thought about changing it but I'm over a year in so I'm gonna keep it plus dang it I like it. I've always had a thing for stars...the kind in the sky, not the screen.

Also, I made a pillow out of a t-shirt my little one grew out of.
