Sunday Start

 Happy Sunday to all my friends.

Well I decided to start another sampler.

this one is called

Feniscowles Hall 

by Heartstring Samplery.

This one will be a tribute to my

paternal grandparents and their parents.

Am not a green person...but something about

this grass drew me in to this pattern.

The entire sampler will be 

my own color conversion.

Will not do the verse first, but instead

add in the alphabet and numbers

which were included in this pattern.

 

For the upper row and alphabet,

these are the colors I chose.

Dublin Bay- Alphabet

Kudtzu- Vine

Old Red Paint- Red Leaves.

Now to be fair,

the red leaves are also in the pattern...

I just changed to a different red I had on hand.

My one day start.

This is the width.

I also decided that from now until the first

day of Autumn, I am going to just rotate

stitching on my three current samplers.

Those are Antique Birds and Angel,

Sarah Casey Unwin, and this one.

Am calling it my Sampler Summer Stitching.

In other news,

last night we had a paranormal group

come into our antique store.

They let Bob and I ask questions.

I talked twice to our one ghost visitor

whom we know was in the Civil War.

His name is Roger.

I was not able to find out which side he was on.

Did find out he was shot and lost his leg.

He was in much pain.

He is in an area of our store 

where our own antiques are.

Bob and I have pinpointed the object

he may be attached to.

One of the many whiskey jugs

or a creamy white cabinet.

Either way, we knew he was here even

before the paranormal group came in.

We also knew of the one man who 

resides in our military section of the store.

This ghost bothers me.

I told him last night he better get along

with me because I will be working here soon.

Yes I do sometimes talk with our ghosts.

Bob says Good Morning to them every

day he works.

We also have a child in there.

She likes to play.

The paranormal group was not able

to make contact with her last night.

It is possible she has moved on.

Our Victorian lady has also

moved on.

We think she was attached to the

Victorian furniture that was sold now.

She never bothered anyone.

We also have one more ghost

up in our attic. 

She is the only entity we think

will remain with the building.

We  do not know anything about her. 

They were not able to get anything on

her last night either.

Some may not believe in ghosts,

but we do.

We catch orbs on our store cameras.

We have seen shadows throughout

the 15 years we have been in business.

We both have felt cold spots.

Bob has heard voices.

Any hoot,

if you happen to have a ghost story,

please share.

Hope you have a great Sunday.

I will be back to cross stitching.

Was able to create a few items

for the store.

Not much, but will continue to create things

for the store on Saturdays.

Next year I will have more time.

Unfortunately back to work tomorrow.

Vacation is over. UGH

Summer Sampler Blessings To All!
