Let LOVE Grow It’s that time of year again… our wedding anniversary & what has become a Hands On Design tradition – the token of love. I present Let LOVE Grow – I was afraid it would come across a little too much ‘live, laugh, love’ (insert eye roll here), but I have some
THE BERRY BASKET – A FINISHING PICTURE WALK
Welcome to my picture walk finishing tutorial for how I completed the cap on my strawberries in The Berry Basket series. I plan to finish each one in the same manner so hopefully, you will be a pro by the time I fill the fruit basket with these berries! (Yes, that is a hint to
A TIME TO CELEBRATE – PICTURE WALK
I was never one of those girls that thought much about what my wedding would be like…the dress, the ceremony. Maybe I just didn’t have enough experience with weddings… maybe by the time Bill & I got married, we had lived separately (he was finishing grad school in FL & I was working in Northern
LOVE YOU TOO – FINISHING PICTURE WALK
So much of the time, I have a very specific ‘finish’ in my head. Other times, I let the finish talk to me as I work through it. Yes, you read that correctly. š Here, I walk you through the steps that I followed to finish this year’s anniversary token ‘love you too’ (please read

I think a lot of stitchers work on their pumpkins & ornaments year round…but there seems to be a point in the year – right about now – when we put the snowmen stitches aside for something fresh! Birds, bees (we’re talking stitching remember), blooms…soft pastels or bright take your
WEAR LOVE
Wear Love Everywhere You Go – Colossians 3:14 October 2021 – I wasn’t thinking at all about what I would design for my annual Anniversary Token…in fact, it was probably the furthest thing from my mind. Isn’t there a comedian that does a ‘bit’ using the words…’here’s your sign’? Well, there it was… I
POLLY’S JOURNEY
Happy New Year! Like many of you, I’ve been thinking about the journey of these past 2 years & what it’s taught me about myself. It was a year ago that I was introduced to ‘Polly Maria’ & began working with Ginny of Shanty Stitchers on retracing this needlewoman’s journey from her roots in
