Designer : Casey Buonaugurio
March 25, 2008
A new designer I’m adding to the new website. Casey Buonaugurio. I’ve kitted up a few of these designs for myself. The Lemon Meringue Pie is for my kitchen and the other I can’t show you yet as it is a Mother’s Day gift.
Casey has a wonderful complimentary chart at her website – A tribute to Jane Eyre. You can see my pillow plan here. I’ve left off the border as a time saver - it also keeps my pillows from looking crooked if I don’t get it just right. I was reading Bronte’s Villette during the time I was also stitching this so I keep thinking of that book when I look at this – does it apply also???? Perhaps.
I’m in the midst of preparing meals for 55 people for an upcoming event. When I was out buying a bunch of onions I picked up some of these cookies I loved as a little girl. They are still yummy.
I mentioned a to a few people that I was in a car accident last Friday. It has been a busy few days trying to work things out with reports and insurance claims and scheduling repairs. The whole thing has worn me out much more than I imagined it would. My car should be back to normal in a few weeks – hopefully. I guess my new tires will stay new a bit longer!
:0)
PS – everyone is fine!

The Lemon Meringue is great! She does a Strawberries and Cream Sampler that I like as well. And who doesn’t love Jane Eyre? You take such wonderful pictures!

Mary Kathryn, please tell me you and your family are well after the accident? I know how badly an accident can shake one up, not only physically but also emotionally. I pray that all is well with you.
I love Windmill cookies. I always have them in my cookie jar. I grew up with this cookie. I had two everyday in my lunchbox. I still have two, most days, as a treat. I also always have on hand the Cocoanut macaroons and the Fig bars.
Hugs to you and I really do hope you and yours are well!!!!

Didn’t know about the car accident – hope you weren’t hurt at all.
Casey has wonderful, unique designs. Your freebie stitch is lovely! I haven’t read Bronte’s books in ages but love Jane Eyre.

I do hope you get your car back faster than we did ours after a deer ran into it. We were without it for five weeks!
You’re ok, right?

I do hope you were not hurt during the car accident…
Your pillow plan looks lovely!
Cooking for 55 people…wow…! It’s really a huge work! You are bionic! …LOL…

I’m glad that everyone was physically OK after your accident. It does take a long time, though, to shake off the emotional shock. Keep on keeping on.
Thank you for introducing me to a new designer. Jane Eyre was one of the first grown-up books I read and is still a favorite so, of course, I had to snag that chart. I also find myself collecting biscornu charts and that frog chart had to go into my collection, too.

Mary Kathryn,
I’m sorry to learn that you were in a car accident but I’m so glad that you and your family were not hurt.
Wow, those windmill cookies bring back memories. Like you, I still enjoy them too.

Glad to hear everyone is ok. Hope everything goes well with getting your car fixed and dealing with all that comes with being in an accident.
I like the new designer you are featuring … can’t wait to see how the completed pillow comes out … what a great design. Good luck with the large meals that you need to prepare!

I just love Casey B.! I stitched the Lemon Meringue Sampler for my kitchen last year. You can see it on my blog in the archives. Love it! It’s such a fun stitch too! Glad to hear you are ok after your car accident – hopefully your car will be too soon!
