My IMAGINARY MANTEL...

Just thought I'd let you know that my imaginary mantel is REAL...

We do not, sadly, have a fireplace in this house.  This is the wall I chose by placing the black pegged shelf above the credenza since there is no fireplace. 
I have created my "Imaginary Mantel". 
It is somewhat blurry as I am not steady standing alone, with out my cane.  Just wanted to reassure you that I don't have any friends that no one else but I can see and speak to ... yet!
I am hoping to fill in the blank wall spaces with some of my cross stitched samplers, etc.
That will come in time...
In the meantime, I am getting my 'Ducks In A Row'.  
As soon as I figure that one out I will let you know. 
Just finished my little sampler and waiting for the frame to give it a faux grained finish.
 It is small, 8 1/2" x 6 1/4". (Looks familiar?)
 ~*Prim Sisters Needlebook*~
Originally it was to be a needlebook per the pattern...but I had a change of heart.
Instead, I am doing "The Grey House Needlebook", a punch needle design by Lori Brechlin.

My next two endeavors are more  of a challenge
"Blooms & Berries" a La-D-Da design
with hopes of including the
"PEACE BE UPON US"
addition.
&
"Purity of Heart" from Carriage House Samplings
an original design by Anna Carey Reachmack.

Then there is that ever growing 'Bucket List'...
YUP, you guessed it, 'That's another story'
or perhaps I should say 'That's another lifetime'.

Keep on Bloggin' &  Thanks for stoppin' by.

Peace and Blessings for all,
Barb

  1. LOVE your imaginary mantle!
    The little sampler is so sweet. I wish I had time to stitch but don't want to put down the hook. Oh, those buckets lists get longer each day, don't they?
    Hugs :)

  2. I love your faux mantle. I have two of those shelves currently sitting im my basement. They used to reside in my daughter's room. Now I am thinking that I should repaint them and claim them for either my living room or landing. I love the way you decorated it all. So pretty.
