I also thought you may like a peek at one of my rather large sample books, all the stitches I ever use I keep in here then when I need inspiration for a project vola! hopefully its in the book
Wishing you all well xxx

Well this is very inspirational indeed - I am good at keeping my sketchbooks but hadn't thought of doing a needle-craft book! Why ever not? Love it Lynn!
So looking forward to seeing you on 12th Nov.

Love the smocking and the Kantha.
Really lovely.
Lynn, I just adore your sample book.. particularly the beaded insects! You have the patience of a saint it seems. When I do 'beady' things, it gets me all hot and bothered!!!
Also.. I am about to start painting antlers - I don't know what it is about them but I love them and your antler girl is gorgeous.
Hugs, Michelle xxx

Hi Lynn, What a pleasure to see your sampler. It's like looking a a small history book.
I'm going to check out Etsy and, as always, I will most enjoy the Madonna images.

Hello Lynn, She is simply Gorgeous & thank you for the look into your sample books. I recently went to an exhibition called 'The White Wedding Dress' there were delicate and extravagant wedding dresses from the Victoria & Albert Museum’s superb collection. Your sample book reminds me of some of the details on the older fragile dresses. Clare
How splendid! I do admire you for having the patience and skill for sewing, your ideas are gorgeous, soft and dreamy. Can't wait to see your finished products. Also wish I was as organized as you, I had big plans for Christmas creations but I think it's too late! All the best and don't ever lose that patience - your work is too special!
Beautiful woodland creatures! Wishing you good luck with your shop and looking forward to see more of your creatures!

You are a creative Goddess!
Absolutely love the Woodland Keeper, you should write and illustrate a book about the Woodland Keepers, for children and adults too! (I've never grown out of fairie stories and the like!
Lovely to see your sketch and notebooks too, something I should start to do with so many ideas swimming around in my head!
Thanks for sharing.

You do realise that your new shop will be a massive hit don't you? You'll always be needing to restock. I for one will be in the queue to purchase something made by your hands. What a treat!
Your samples are delicious by the way.
Bye for now, Alison.
You are an Irish girl, I knew I liked you! I do feel rather foolish though, having never heard of Samhain.
Thankyou so much for your really lovely comments. I am so delighted that you love our toadstools. Have a Happy Samhain, love Linda x
So pleased that you are setting up an etsy shop. I just know it will do really well with your beautiful treasures. Hope all is good with you.

Oh Lynn- I am mesmerized by your creations. The sketches- the embroidery- the beading- they are all divine. I can hardly wait to see them all in their finished state!
We really are of the same soul-- oh Lynn, if only you knew about the little "woodland" project that I have in the works for early next year--
Hugs,
Vicki
