Little House's State Fair Framed!

Good 'day Friends :) Today IS a good day because it is the last day of school for the Pfeiffer kids! ALLELUIA! A much needed break is in the forecast for calm and cool days, with nothing but fun, laughter and smiles predicted for the forseeable future. I love this time of year because not only do we all need to slow down, but it is an ending for a new beginning in the fall...summer is sort of the caterpillar stage in the cycle, we have fun in the sun crawling around, lazing the days away.... and in the fall we'll coccoon ourselves in school to grow our minds and emerge in the spring a fully formed butterfly to lay our eggs and start the cycle over. Always changing, always cycling. . . always living! Deep thoughts by Tim Handy..... (remember that on Saturday Night Live) LOL!

On the stitching front......I had some custom frames made for my State Fair and here it is:





"State Fair"
Designer: Little House Needleworks ~ Diane Williams
Fabric: 28 ct. evenweave coffee/tea bake and basted by moi
Fibers: DMC
Now.... it's hanging in a place of honor in my kitchen....I LOVE IT!
Thank you...... for your kind comments on my Pie Safe. I love it too...there is no greater pleasure I get in life than making my house a home. I don't need to travel or seek solitude anywhere else in life or in the world, as long as I always have my home to shelter me. I'm on vacation every day inside its comforting walls :)
Off to stitch..... for a few minutes before I go to my children's school to attend the awards ceremony today during Honor Day....I have HIGH hopes for the Pfeiffer kids ;)
Until next time my dear friends..... love and best wishes - as you count your blessings and your stitches - from our house to yours! XXxxxx

  1. Love the "State Fair"! Beautiful colors! :) The frame is a perfect complement. Hasn't the price of frames gotten ridiculous??

  2. The frame is perfect for that! I think this is such a fun piece, makes me think of a specific building at our own state fair! Nice job!

  8. Your framed State Fair is wonderful, Vonna! You must be so pleased with it.

    Enjoy your summer. My son is the last to finish up the school year when he gets out on Friday. I am looking forward to things slowing down a bit, too. More time to stitch! ;) I'm sure the Pfeiffer clan cleaned up at the awards ceremony.

  9. What a BEAUTIFUL finish, Vonna!
    The frame is awesome with it as well.
    When I read your post about liking home as a vacation, I can relate to that. Everyone I work with plans all these expensive trips and vacations and stuff and I usually stay at home and love it because after we moved to the mountains, I feel like my home is a vacation! I ordered The Sampler Girl's Jane Austen sampler several months ago about "comforts of home" and plan to stitch and put in my family room.

  15. Well said Vonna--I too love to stay at home on vacation instead of travel!! State Fair looks GREAT. I started it shortly after you finished yours, about 1/2 done now and loving it. It reminds me of our County Fair--Families get together to share some good old fashioned FUN. It's the highlight of our summer--lots of work with 4-H projects, but it's all worth it!! Take care and stay safe

    (And yes, I picked out my new puppy's name. It means Red King in Irish. Kind of appropiate. Thank you so very much for your comment on my blog.)
