A Christmas Happy Dance

Hi all

Last night I finished another small piece, bit late for Christmas this year but never mind. I plan on putting it in the proper frame later today. This will be probably be my last finish for the year but you never know!

Here's the pic:

Happy Stitching all

A Couple of Ornament finishes!

Hi all

Well I got my December ornament stitched up and decided that it needed it's companion piece too! Both are by Jeanette Douglas Designs. The first one was in the 2007 JCS ornament issue and the second one was in the 2007 JCS ornament preview issue (Oct). Both are stitched on 36ct Winters Eve linen from Stitches n Spice and are done with the recommended threads. I just left out the background on them both! Let me tell you, stitching the year on the first one over one is not a lot of fun on 36ct, lol!!

Here's the pics:

Merry Christmas all!

No pic this week.

Hi all

Well I haven't got a pic for this week as I've been stitching on a piece for a friend and as she reads my blog, I can't post the pic here, cause I don't want her to see it, lol!!

Needless to say, it wasn't one of my existing wips!! I also had another new start, The Sweetheart Tree - Celtic Cross, not much done yet so will post a pic of it later.

Had a great day yesterday with some stitching friends and also met some patchworking ladies. Was a lovely day of chatting, eating & a bit of show n tell!

Today I need to get all my christmas decorations up so that it starts to feel a bit more like christmas around here!! May even get a few pics later.

Happy Stitching all
