Autumn Leaves

Finished this evening, Autumn Leaves by From Nancy's Needle.

This chart was gifted to me by Barb Hansen about a year ago, and I finally took the time to stitch it up. It is done on 18 count mono canvas with the suggested threads. I enjoyed doing this one very much and look forward to finishing other charts I have by the same designer.

How Many Scissors?

Recently, my son was over and saw all my Gingher Designer Scissors and asked how many scissors did I need. Silly boy! Need has nothing to do with it!



Here are the two newest members of the collection: Elena on the left, and Mia on the right.

A Prairie Schooler Finish

I finished this Prairie Schooler chart the other day. It is Weather Wise, done on 32 count cream Belfast linen with DMC floss.

It will be a Christmas gift for my favorite sailor. I just need to find a frame.

Fall Exchange

I received a wonderful package from Cynthia recently. It was my part of the Fall/Halloween/orange exchange at the Threads of Life board. I chose fall, and got some lovely fall things.

I sent my gift off to Sue, who also chose fall. It was a fun package to put together.

One More Halloween Picture

This is my first grade class at German School, all dressed up for Halloween! It was really hard teaching a girl with a green face.......

Happy Halloween!

Even Murphy got into the Halloween Spirit! In case you can't tell, Murphy is dressed as William Shakespear for the big day!

First Ornament Exchange

This is a picture of the ornament I received from Suzie in the very first exchange I was ever in. It was 2003, and I forgot what I stitched and sent to her.

We were talking about this exchange last summer when we finally met in person, and Suzie couldn't remember what she stitched. I have been meaning to post a picture of it for some time so that she and the rest of you can see this cute little guy!

Thanks again, Suzie. As you can see, I still have it and still treasure it!
