Hush!... Baby Sleeps The newest door knob hanging by The Sweetheart Tree has arrived. Stitched on 28ct Angel Blush Cashel Linen with DMC flosses, it's just a sweet reminder of who's dreaming in their crib. Finishing approx 4 x 5, there are tiny bead and button embellishments, and finishing instructions to assemble the little hanging. If the name is short, you could always stitch it instead of 'baby,' as well. Offered as complete kits of linen, flosses, needles, chart and embellishments, Sweetheart Tree has more Knob Knocker designs in her series -- I happen to like the Happy Birthday one the very best -- because there aren't too many birthday greeting designs around! Take a peek at it, and the other new release, 'In the Meadow,' below. |

 Miniature Scissor FobsThe next Sweetheart Tree Scissor fob designs are here!!! This little patriotic star is my ABSOLUTE favorite so far of the entire set... the whole thing is less than two inches from tip to tip!!! Each fob is different on both it's sides, is offered in a small card format with most of the necessary embellishments... you just add some Mill Hill beads on the edging. Cute designs, a special stitch or two... Sandy was going to release two of these at a time, for a total of 8 fobs... but she's changed her mind! (Way Cool!) These are just the neatest things when they're done... we have several shop models in the front case... and I can tell you that one of the next ones is an octagonal seashell/nautical design! | |||||
