Well...whaddya know...

Another finish! I was gazing around my stitching area looking for a new start and lo & behold, my eyes fell upon this all ready to go. So I started it Christmas Eve & have just now added the ribbon. I'm in love with this little beauty!

Woot! A finish!

Yep, I know.....a finish at Christmas! I've been stitching this since September and realised about Monday last week that I didn't have much to go. So I got stuck in so it could be finished before Christmas. Not that it's really finished but the stitching is finished. Into the framing/finishing pile it goes. I'm very happy. Now I can start something new!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas ornament exchanges

Today I got my HOE Christmas ornament in the mail. This was a 'no goodies' exchange so all we had to do was stitch, finish & post. Easy! Here's what I got:




The design is by Brightneedle and it's from the JCS 2007 edition. My partner was Heather and she did a fine job stitching & finishing this beauty.

Here's a pic of the ornament I sent to Carol in USA. I borrowed the pic from Carol as I stupidly forgot to take one of my own. The thing was sitting here for about 2 weeks and I never thought to take a pic.




Merry Christmas to Thee

From the 2000 JCS ornament edition
Stitched with WDW Bordeaux

My monthly post

I haven't had that much to show and say lately. All I have to show you is my finished Christmas ornaments for this year. I have another one but can't find it....it's the one I stitched way back in January. No idea where that bugger is! Then I forgot about my recent finish, Peace so it's not done either. What a bummer.

I'm also feeling a bit sad at the moment cos my DD has decided not to have her photo taken with Santa anymore. My little girl is obviously growing up and I'm wondering where the time went. Maybe this is all reflected in my stitching. I'm still doing some but it's very slow going, hence the lack of posts here. So what am I working on? At the moment I'm still doing the Lizzie Kate Double Christmas flip its. I also started a breast cancer fund raiser from Elegant Stitch, Blue Ribbon Designs' With All Your Heart. I'm stitching it in memory of my friend June who died last year. It would've been finished, but I made a mistake on it & have put it aside for the moment.
