Some finishes & some stash!

Hi all

Well I have a couple of finishes pics to share and some stash that I bought at the Stitches n Craft show yesterday! First up here's the finishesPrairie Schooler Snowman Ornament freebie card 2008 Stitched with DMC as charted.

Midnight Stitching Quaker Acorn 1&2 finished into an Acorn shape!

Stitched as charted with Dinky Dyes silk #151 Nabilla


Here's the stash I picked up yesterday. First up is a chart & some crescent colours & some Canadian hand dyed silk & silk ribbon

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!

Happy Stitching all

Been a while....

Hi all

Been a while since I posted here. Work has been hellish and I haven't felt like doing much of anything. Anyway, things seem to be slowing down and I have a couple of little finishes to share. First up is Little House Needleworks - Reading

Stitched as charted on 25ct Antique White lugana Stitching completed 3 August 2009


Next up is my latest finish from last night, it's an exclusive retreat piece from Midnight Stitching and is the first in the set of 2 that I plan on stitching. It's Quaker Acorn


Stitched as charted on 32 count grab bag lugana from Country Stitch with Dinky Dyes silk #151 Nabilla. Stitching completed August 15, 2009.

That's all for now but hopefully it won't be so long between posts. I need to show you all the wonderful piece I received in a recent exchange and just as soon as I take a pic I'll do just that!
