Bringing Home the Tree

I finished the stitching on this 2011 Little House Needleworks ornament on Sunday.

The finishing will have to wait until I have more of the series done.

Tweet

I finished the stitching on the first Little House Needleworks ornament of 2011. It is called Tweet. I just love this little cardinals!

I am not sure how it will be finished, I will wait until I stitch some more of the series before I decide.

Sweet Treats!

I finished stitching Sweet Treats by Country Cottage Needleworks on Friday evening, although I now notice that I forgot the french knots on the cupcake.... I will sew on some beads before I frame it. It was stitched on 28 count Lambswool with Crescent Colors floss. I have ordered a frame for it. I am counting this as 7 finishes because there were 7 seperate charts - 6 chart packs and 1 border chart!

I am thinking it might look nice in Natalie's room. Her mom can decide once it is all framed up.

Special thanks go to Kimberly D who sent me the set of charts a few years ago.

Special thanks also go to Coral who stitched this recently, thus reminded me that mine was all kitted up and ready to stitch. Her lovely finish inspired me to get cracking and stitch it myself!

January Progress, February Goals

January was an odd month, sitching wise. Mostly this was due to the fact that I was working with eyeglass from a few prescriptions ago. I needed new glasses, and didn't really want to get new frames. I had wanted to use an older frame, but the optician felt that they weren't strong enough, so I had to give them the pair of glasses that was most recent. I had a hard time seeing with the older glasses plus magnifiers, so I didn't get as much stitching done as I would have liked. I also was part of the Sue Hillis Stitch Ahoy cruise, and had lots of details to attend to while others stitched! I will have cruise pictures in future posts.
