I made a new stitchery yesterday and I LOVE it! I just finished tea staining it this morning so I have to let it dry before I can post it in my website. I am not sure if I should sell my stitcheries framed or not framed??? I think not having them framed is great because people can buy their own frame that will match the decor in their home...plus it will really cut down the the shipping costs. Hmmmmm...or I can offer both options??? LOL! Well, in any case...I dont have a frame for this stitchery yet so it will be appearing unframed. If your really crafty you can also use it and make it into a pillow!
Making the stitchery was fun and relaxing I have to say. I have more I plan on making. My next stitchery project is a large one and requires chalking. I have never used chalk as a crafting medium before...so that will be fun to play with!

Under New Name!
WOW! Since December since I have posted anything in my blog. Me bad!
Well...if you haven't noticed already, I have changed my business name to Black Crow Primitives. No particular reason....just something I had been wanting to do for some time.
Black Crow Hollow was off line for a bit of time. The reason??? There are actually a lot of reasons, some personal, some due to this wonderful, ongoing recession, etc. I have reverted back to a smaller website where for now it is more economical. I also missed making and selling my handmade goods....another reason why I have decided to bring it back. Sadly, I have noticed that some of my favorite craft sites I like to visit must be feeling the pinch or just dont have the ambition right now to craft, to create. Alot of my fav websites have the same thing, nothing new being made. It's hard to feel inspired when the global economy is in this sort of situation.
I have lots of work to do in my craft room with making new items. I am currently working on a new doll and I will be releasing some stitcheries as well. I love doing stitcheries. I have some I made for my home hanging in my bedroom. They really add that homey touch.
I will try to remember to hop in here and post more of my craft room musings. Yesterday I actually moved my crafting area to another room in the house and reorganised all my fabrics and crafting materials. I even had to dust, literally, the sewing machine off!
