"Baby It's Cold Outside" the old song goes and it's so true for today.
The temp reads somewhere around +2 so it's a wood stove heating day and there's snow all around. Yes, I'm not very fond of winter, but it's what life in Montana brings.
I tried my hand at crackle painting and distressing the wood box I bought at Michael's the other weekend and I liked it for the most part, so I designed an Autumn themed/colored insert for the top. I'm thinking of designing some stitching smalls to match the box, maybe a needle case, scissor fob and small biscornu.

Design: "Autumn Hardanger" with distressed box
Designer: Sandy In Montana
Stitched on 32ct. linen hand-dyed by me using Wildflowers in Raspberry Sherbet and DMC threads, Mill Hill petite beads in Ginger and Jesse James Co. buttons for the box corners. The Hardanger is lined with dark green satin.
Take Care & Happy Stitching Everyone
