Helga Mandl - Just Add Snow
Fabric: 28ct opalescent "butterscotch glitz"lugana from silkweavers
Stitched as charted with DMC.
Stitching completed October 29, 2009
The fabric in the background is what I've backed it with. Will send it with a little stand so the recipient will have a way to display it.
Last week Alison asked for the name of my new gingher scissors, sorry I forgot to add that in the original post. The mutli-coloured ones are the new Elena design and the green ones are called Sarah.
Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween for those who celebrate it. We don't but I love to stitch Halloween designs, go figure! Didn't get any done though which is a bit annoying, so I am now going to focus on my current wip of Shepherds Bush - Spooky Spots.
Happy Stitching all

I succumbed to some new scissors the other day, how could I resist with our $$ being so good at the moment and the tempation of ginghers calling me! Here's a pic of my latest additions:
And here's a pic of the majority of my collection, there are a few pairs not here which are in projects! My DH said to me the other day when I told him about the new scissors, why do you need so many scissors? My response was, "need" has nothing to do with it, lol!!! DH is very good about my stash purchases and never says anything about them.
Well that it's for me this time, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I need to do an ornament for an exchange and then I will either start some halloween stitching, which is really tempting me, or focus on another wip! Maybe I can accomplish both of these at the same time as one of my wip's is a halloween piece. We will have to see I guess, whatever calls the loudest will be answered, lol!
Happy Stitching all

The Primitive Needle - Earth Sampler
Stitched with GAST & WDW
Fabric: 32ct Belfast "Primitive" from Silkweavers
Stitching completed October 8, 2010.
I discovered an error in the key for this piece but I had almost finished it so just went with how it was except for stitching the rabbit in WDW Chestnut. This was a fun piece to stitch!
Now it's back to my VS Jingle Bells Xmas Tree Farm as I would really like it finished soon!
Happy Stitching all

Passione Riccamo - Winter freebie
The Drawn Thread - An Open Heart
Prairie Schooler Snowman Ornament freebie card 2008 Stitched with DMC as charted.Midnight Stitching Quaker Acorn 1&2 finished into an Acorn shape!
Next up are 3 boxes of fancy trims that I couldn't pass up! They were $20 for a box of 27 spools and as I couldn't choose just 1 colour I had to get the 3 boxes I loved the most! First up is the Plum box the pic makes some of them look pinker than they are, they are all mostly a really beauitful plum/purple colour.
Next is the Pink box
Last is the Cream/Gold box
And here's the final pic, this piece was a Round Robin which was finished years ago, I finally got around to making it up into a pillow for my step grand daughter who loves Disney Princesses. It was originally planned for my girls, but they are a bit beyond the Disney Princesses now.
Well that's all for me today, tonight Rachael (eldest daughter) & I are going to see Pink! in concert which should be great! We are expecting to be a bit on the deaf side tomorrow, lol!

I hope to have a finish to show you tomorrow!
