Shannon Lee Stitches Hi Friends! I've created a little page to showcase my work. SOMETIMES... I sell some, or take orders. πŸ₯°

With fair season coming to an end πŸ“† for the most part across the valley🏞️, then heading into ThanksgivingπŸ¦ƒ, and with the first weekend without faris wheels 🎑 and barns πŸ„πŸšœ for some of you fast approaching; I thought a fun project to share would be another Carp Fair win from my entries this fall! πŸ‚

This beauty was a labour of love, intended to be gifted to a family member of mine who lives and breathes Carp Fair! β€οΈπŸ–€

There was no specified pattern for the messy bun beanie in the regs, so I jumped at a chance to let my imagination take hold.
It's warm, cozy, has a few fun stitch variations, and I loved the challenge of free hand embroidering the famous home craft barn on the make shift logo.

These types of projects are some of my favourite, because I get to make it up as I go, totally custom, without the constraints a pattern sometimes entails. I'm really looking forward to a chance to make delivery, and wouldn't you know it, she even won second place! πŸ₯ˆπŸ’™

What do you guys think?! And who's ready for holiday food?? πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ½οΈπŸ πŸ₯§πŸ₯•πŸ€€

For the first time this year, I entered some SLS creations into the running, as part of a competition for the Homecraft Division of the 163rd Carp Fair!

AND THIS SWEET LITTLE BABY AFGHAN WON 2NDπŸ₯ˆ

πŸ™πŸΌI was so pleased, and honoured, to have ribboned in all three crochet categories I entered; and will share the other winners soon! ☺️🫣🧢

It was really exciting to take my yarn art to this next level since starting a few years ago.

It was also really neat to walk through and see all the wonderful exhibits and homecraft entries! Congratulations to all the entrants and winners for all your beautiful hard work! Check out the absolutely gorgeous mosaic crochet blanket that won 1st below! 🀩 We can't wait for next year!

This little blanket was made in a pretty two round repeating fan stitch, in Roll With It Sparkle yarn by Red Heart. Isn't it sweet? πŸ’™πŸ©΅πŸ€πŸ©ΆπŸ–€

If only! The season's are almost changing, so I'll be scrambling to close up the garden, and finish preserves. Stay tuned for more fun projects over the fall and winter months (I hope! ).
And... for some recent items I'll post in a few weeks. I'm entering some yarn art project in a local fair for the first time! Wish me luck!

Hey Gang!
With the long weekend behind us, and the days growing cooler, we had a cold go through the house already! πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ«€πŸ€§
Since I was home on Mom duty, I've been working my way through the end of season harvest πŸͺ, and prepping some yarn art to maybe enter in the fair this year! 😬🎑🎠πŸŽͺ🧢πŸ₯‡πŸ€žπŸΌWish me luck? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚
It's also that time of year when Eira is asked to start thinking about what she would like for her annual winter hat. We hit the farmers market a few weeks ago, and she spotted a booth for heritage domestic arts!
"Oh Dad! Better get comfortable. Mom's going to want to look at this one!" πŸ˜‚
She wasn't wrong! The Trapper's Wife (although not on any social media), was a super kind woman, and hand painted this gorgeous Merino/Nylon blend. It is more than I usually spend on yarn, but my wee lady was so excited for the colours, I couldn't say no.πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ©ΆπŸ©·πŸ€
It was a fine yarn, but I managed to work up a new warm freestyle winter hat, that looks cute, and at Eira's special request, has extra length in the back, to cover her neck, in the cold coming wind. 🌬️ I wish the camera did the yarn justice, and you could see the fine strands of silver sparkle running throughout. Devine! πŸ’Ž The vendor's name is Jenny Croft, and her info is below. There are 2 more markets before the end of the season in town. If you are a yarn artist, maybe go check her out? 🀩
Don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing into winter ❄️, I'm just happy to be prepared! πŸ‘πŸΌ
What have you done already to get ready for the changing of the seasons? β„οΈπŸ‚πŸπŸƒ

🍎Hooray SLS fam! It's the First Day of School! ✏️

How many of you have littles heading back today? How many are back already? Our little Miss was very excited for grade 2! πŸŽ’

But you know, starting school means, ending summer... πŸ™πŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸŒž

Luckily, her and I are fall girlies! πŸ‚πŸ Bring it on! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

In the meantime, we had some fabulous people to thank profusely for all the energetic, patient, and devoted care our girlie received at her daycare all season, before heading off to her newest scholastic adventures.

I also got to try something new! Crochet thread! 🧢 This super fine weighted yarn, or thread, makes really pretty lace-like crochet. I crafted it into hand made bath poofs of soft taupe cotton. I paired it with some hand crafted soap, fuzzy socks, summer berry jam, and a soft smelling candle, in the hopes that a little self care was welcome after such a busy summer.

They were fun to work up, and are a project I would try again. They're super soft! I just may have to make one to try out myself! πŸ˜‰

Stay tuned for a few lovely blanket projects I have on the way, that have been gifts, and favoured 'wip's' throughout the summer months!

Happy September Fam! 😊

🎢 Well hello there gang! πŸ‘—
Hubby and I recently spent a few nights on the town for a couple of special occasions. πŸ—“οΈπŸŽ‰ I found this soft light little dress on clearance, but in my size, it fit like a sack of potatoes... πŸ₯” πŸ‘ŽπŸΌ
A few darts at the bust, an empire waist gather with some thin elastic, and shorter straps... Voila! I felt so cute and comfy! Not bad for $20 bucks and some thread. πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ’ͺ🏼
I paired it with some converse, πŸ‘Ÿ and a jean jacket πŸ§₯ for a swanky blues concert look, and it was a night to remember!

πŸ€£πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸΌπŸ€ΆπŸΌIt's Christmas in July! πŸ€ΆπŸΌπŸŽ…πŸΌπŸŽ„πŸ€£

We are travelling a little here and there on the weekends now that summer is half over 🀫, and with all this rain, I have not exactly been rolling in the yard work mid-week. So, keeping caught up is a total wash. πŸ₯΄ The weeds are taking over, but the memories are being made. A fair trade? Maybe not if you ask my husband when he finally gets a chance to cut the grass. πŸŒ±βœ‚οΈπŸ€£
All projects that travel well have been the name of the game. So, these small Christmas dish cloths, and towel hangers have worked great for long car rides, and early morning coffees by a lake. And the best part? They sparkle. ✨ It will be fun to see where they end up! πŸ€”
I have a bunch of cool gifts I've made that haven't been gifted yet too. Once they have, I'll post those for you to check out.
For now....πŸ˜‚Merry Christmas(in July)! πŸ˜‚ And enjoy the warm weather while it's here! 😘 Shout out to my aunt Cheron (And maybe my Granny R**t?) for the pretty Christmas yarn they passed on. πŸ₯Ή

πŸ’–πŸŽ£πŸŸ Hope you are having a fabulous July! πŸŒŠβ˜€οΈπŸš™

Summer, for us, is often about socializing. You know, our fam is very lucky to have some really wonderful, and long lasting friendships.πŸ’– We've been reflecting on it recently, and feeling pretty blessed! πŸ€ We just spent four days with our daughter's godmother, and a few of our besties. So many great memories were made, and we finally had our first visit to the Fish Camp 🎣 🐟 after all these years! We made a few mementos for them to take with them when they go back and forth in the years to come, to say thank you. πŸ€ŽπŸ’™πŸ€πŸ™πŸΌ As we have mentioned before, cotton is anti-microbial, and is great for cottages, when running water may be a tricky situation. πŸ’¦ This was my first attempt at a personalized surface crochet. It was a fun yarn buster. We hope to be invited to make memories for years to come! What do you think of the technique?

Here's another project I cranked out pretty quickly a while back, when I had a bunch of time on my hands. ⏰ πŸ₯ This yarn is discontinued, and I can't buy it anymore. πŸ₯Ί So, I was saving it for something special.πŸ€” Heading into the hospital without knowing I wasn't leaving for a bit, I'm glad I thought to choose something like this to cheer me up. This pretty baby blanket is getting tucked away for future gifting. Maybe I'll be a grandmother some day! πŸ€£πŸ€πŸ©ΆπŸ€πŸ©ΆπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I don't know about you guys, but June πŸ“† was a doozie over here! 😰😳 ⛑️πŸ₯
On this last day of school ✏️ we were reflecting back, and considering ourselves so grateful to be healthy, and well.πŸŽπŸ™ŒπŸΌ
Yet another kind of stitches entered the SLS arena in the meantime, and honestly surgery was not on my bingo card for this summer. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜ŽπŸ«£
Despite a recent little situation with my gallbladder; luckily, everything seems to have gone well, and I'm healing fantastically. 🀞🏼😊
On the upside of it, I've had a ton of time for the stitching I really like best. The kind that won't dissolve over time! 🀣🧢
Here's a yarn buster that Eira immediately decided she loved early on, and insisted on choosing the order of colours for, as it went. It sparkles a little here and there, feels very 'granny core', and has been a regular part of her sleep, and playtime, since. What do you think: tacky, or trendy?! πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ©·πŸ–€πŸ’™πŸ€ŽπŸ’œβ€οΈπŸ’›πŸ€
